"Lovers Rock" by TV Girl is a love song about taking a chance and getting out of your comfort zone. The song explores the idea of the "lover's rock" – a type of music genre focused on romantic love – and the sweet, melancholic feeling of fleeting connection and tenderness that it can evoke. The chorus reflects the idea that love can burn like a cigarette, in that it is often short-lived and can leave you feeling sad, but with a resolution that there's no need to fear as long as you remain open to the possibility of something more.
