[Verse 1]
The singer describes the initial encounter between the two lovers, which begins as a lighthearted joke but quickly develops into something deeper. The exchange of smiles and the subtle touch under the table symbolize the beginning of their attraction. The connection is immediate, and there's a sense of mutual interest that quickly escalates into a more intimate interaction.

[Chorus]
The chorus emphasizes how effortlessly the relationship developed. The singer compares the ease of falling in love to the simplicity of learning the basics, like the multiplication table for the number one. This suggests that their connection felt natural and uncomplicated. The mention of breakfast highlights the growing comfort and familiarity between them, while the reference to a concert in Tijuana adds a sense of shared experiences and excitement. Despite knowing their love was forbidden, they pursued it freely, doing whatever they wanted without worrying about the consequences.

[Verse 2]
This verse reflects on the progression of the relationship and its eventual decline. The lovers initially spent almost every day together, becoming deeply entwined in each other's lives. However, over time, the intensity of their love caused them to drift apart. The singer expresses a sense of loss and confusion, as they no longer know where the other person is or who they are with. The deep connection they once had has turned into estrangement, making them feel like strangers.

[Chorus]
In the repetition of the chorus, the singer once again highlights the simplicity and inevitability of their love, despite its forbidden nature.

The adventure and passion they shared are remembered fondly, even though they knew their love was risky and against the rules.

[Bridge]
The bridge offers a reflective look at the breakup and the different perspectives that may exist. The singer compares their relationship to the story of the wolf and Little Red Riding Hood, suggesting that each person has their own version of what happened. The intense love they shared eventually led to a sense of unfamiliarity, as they became strangers to each other. The singer now wonders about the other person's life, feeling the distance that time and separation have created.

[Chorus]
This final chorus reinforces the idea that their love, though simple in its beginnings, was complicated by its forbidden nature. The singer reminisces about the ease and joy of their early days together, but also acknowledges the challenges they faced. The repetition of the chorus serves to emphasize the bittersweet nature of their relationship, which was both thrilling and doomed.

[Outro]
The outro expresses a longing to relive the passion and excitement of their first date. The singer suggests that if they ever meet again, they should repeat the experience, capturing the magic and intensity of their initial connection. Despite the pain and estrangement that followed, there's a desire to recapture the joy and spontaneity of their early days together, reflecting a deep yearning for what was lost.
