She may not feel “that” same way about him. He is afraid if he tells her how he loves her “that way” she won’t love him “that” same way. They are “two world apart” and he can’t “reach to her heart.” So, he is keeping his feelings to himself at first. The only way that could change is if he gets rejected. This explains the: “You are, my fire, the one, desire, Believe, when I say I want it that way.” The man is secretly in love with the woman and is saying he wants her and only her. You want to reveal your true feelings for them, but you don’t know how they feel about you or how they will react. It is about loving someone who doesn’t really know that you love them. This isn’t about an official relationship between a man and woman.

Regardless if she wants things to be the same way he does, he will still continue to love her and want things to be “that” way even if they never will be.

But, she may not feel the same way about him.

When Max came up with the original idea for the song, it already had the line ‘you are my fire, the one desire.’ We tried a million different variations on the second verse, and finally we had to go back to what was sounding so great, ‘you are my fire, the one desire.’ And then we changed it to ‘am I your fire, your one desire’, which made absolutely no sense in combination with the chorus – but everybody loved it! Basically the song is about a guy who’s in love with a woman but he doesn’t want to get rejected. When asked about the story of the song, co-writer Carlsson said: “There’s really not much story, although our hero seems concerned about his relationship. This midtempo ballad finds the guys gushing expressions of romantic affection, according to songwriter Carlsson the song was inspired by Metallica song ‘Nothing Else Matters’.
