because i had you: shawn had strong feelings for camila, but as he saw that their friendship wasn’t turning into anything more, he tried to get over his feelings by seeing other women and erasing his memories with her, which was a fail because they were nothing compared to her
all these years: camila always told herself that she doesn’t like shawn back then, which was easy to say bc their schedules made it impossible for them to see each other, but when they DID meet up again she couldn’t fight those feelings that were resurfacing
when you’re ready: shawn was always very open about his feelings towards camila, but at the time she didn’t seem to reciprocate those feelings, which concluded shawn to write a song which said that he was willing to wait for her until she’s ready to give all of herself to him
why: shawn wrote this as a love letter to camila where he admitted all of his feelings. he wanted to send the song to her but his friends told him to tell her in person bc he was about to see her the following week. 3 days later camila told shawn that she met another guy
should’ve said it: shawn still tried his luck and admitted his feelings to her despite her being in a relationship which made camila very angry because he basically waited until she was in a relationship to tell her instead of telling her earlier
feel it twice: camila wasn’t only feeling angry about this situation, but she was also sad, more for shawn than herself. it pained her to know that he has feelings for her but he had to watch how she was being happy with someone that wasn’t him
señorita: they remained friends and wanted to collab with each other again, but spending so much time together resulted in them not being able to deny their feelings for each other anymore. the time spent together & the music video brought them romantically and physically closer
bad kind of butterflies: camila’s feelings for shawn started to get pretty serious, which was bad considering she was in a relationship. turns out that her partner DID have to worry about “the guy he didn’t need to worry about”
used to this: shawn and camila finally cut the the BS and got together.. their trip to san francisco inspired camila to write this song. she was not used to being romantically affectionate with him, so she had to get used to it in a good way. their story ended on a positive note.
