song
The song expresses the thoughts and feelings of a lyric self , probably a girl, revolving around a boy named J. The girl only knows the object of her fantasy from films, from ″ LA ″, and he doesn't know her either, which doesn't prevent her from thinking a lot about the boy. She describes herself as a dreamer kind and her dreams revolve around the unknown boy:
"All my dreams are built around your face and this place
All the times I'm staring at the sun, you're the one"
and so she imagines that one morning her dreams will come true. Amazingly, it then means that she is happy to be all to herself and that she doesn't need anyone:
"I always thought that I would follow you
Every place and everything you do
But I'm happy to be by myself
I don't need no one else"
