Content

The song discusses several metaphorical events such as the "fireworks flashing and thunder clapping" that occurred in the narrator's mind when he first fell in love. Besides physical phenomena, there are allusions to metaphysical visions like "angels singing" and "I saw the light". The chorus concludes with the lyric "if you don't want to hear how the waters parted, then don't get me started."

Critical reception

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably saying that while the song had the potential to "descend into sticky sweetness", the "earnestness in Akins' vocals elevates the song and makes this a thoroughly enjoyable outing."[2]
