The Song Speaks Of Being Lost In The Wilderness Until Finding Someone Which Is Metaphorical For Being Lost In Life Before Finding Love. The Lyrics Tell The Story Of The Singer Being Broken And Incomplete Feeling Sad And Blue Until Finding Love That Makes Her Feel "shiny And New". The Chorus Speaks Of Her Feeling "like A Virgin" Metaphorically Referring To The Idea Of Experiencing Something For The First Time And Being Touched By Love In A Way That One Has Never Experienced Before. The Song Is A Celebration Of The Joy Of New Love Of Feeling Fresh And Alive Again Of Being "thawed Out" And Filled With A Love That Can Last. Lastly The Outro Of The Song Speaks Of Being Able To Feel The Heartbeat Of The Other Person In A Way That Is New And Special.
