“Now That I Found You” by Carly Rae Jepsen
This feeling descended on her suddenly, “without warning”. Part of the reason for her surprise was her prior belief that the reemergence of love was an impossibility. In fact she calls her fresh engagement in romance “a miracle”, so much so that she now feels anything is possible.
In terms of interacting with her partner, Carly encourages him to be completely free with her. As for her own heart, it is not an open book that anyone can read. However, she feels enough affection for her new lover to be willing to reveal it to him. But she expresses a desire to hear his commitment not to abuse it. In fact she requests her honeybun to bless her with more sweet words boldly without complicating anything.
The ultimate feeling expressed is that the euphoria Carly is feeling is incomparable to any other sensation. And this was all made possible by her discovering the partner she is singing to.
Based on the lyrics of this song, we can safely conclude that Carly is using this song as an expression of the euphoric, transformative joy felt upon the discovery of new love.
