Like a wildflower breaking through cracks in the pavement, this tune reminds us that love is an unstoppable force of nature. Musgraves uses poetic imagery to depict love as a river seeking the ocean; it's relentless, powerful, and can't be contained. The song suggests that trying to hide or suppress love only makes it shine brighter, much like a game of hide-and-seek with a flashlight. It's a beautiful reminder that even in darkness and unexpected places, love blooms persistently. Embrace the wilderness folks because according to Musgraves, there's no taming the wild beast that is love!
