Content

The song is a soft love ballad, with the instrumentation starting lightly and building up towards the end with an electric guitar bridge. The song's lyrics speak of a narrator who is telling a lover what she does and doesn't want in her relationship.

If heartaches and tears and shadows of doubt

Are part of the deal, you can count me out

But if you're talking about a game I can win

You can count me in
