This implies that they both had suicidal thoughts before the relationship and were in fact saved in a way by falling in love with each other oppose to the idea of suicide.

This also is an allusion to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, who were able to consummate their love through suicide. Both scenarios present young people in lover, however his love is greater than that of Romeo and Juliet’s.

In addition, Isaiah ends the verse with repeating “at least we fell in love”, but this time, the lyric takes on a whole new meaning. “At least we feel in love” is now hinting at lost love. Kinda like, “that was a destructive, painful relationship, but hey, at least we fell in love.”

Hope that we feel this, feel this way forever
