How would you interpret this song if it showed up on a mixtape that was given to you?

The situation:

Someone you are interested in romantically gives you a mixtape with songs that are upbeat, feel-good songs, all of which have lyrics that carry the underlying meaning of “I think you’re an interesting person, I would like to spend time with you, and I wouldn’t mind too terribly if we got naked.” Included on this mixtape is (I Was Born) A Unicorn by the Unicorns.

The lyrics are as follows:

“I was born a Unicorn
I missed the ark but I could’ve sworn
You’d wait for me

I was born a Unicorn
I could’ve sworn you believed in me.
Then how come all the other Unicorns are dead?

Were never gonna stop
I think I wanna stop
We want one us
I dont care, I’ll do push-ups
I write the songs
I WRITE the songs
You say I’m doing it wrong
YOU ARE doing it wrong

Put your crystals under my pillow
Send your epistle to my bedfellows

It also says!

When dreaming beasts are dying down, on out
They’re there, for we agree they’re there, They’re there
alive and sure.

If I stop believing in you
If you stop believing in me
If I stop believing in you
If you stop believing in me

We’re the Unicorns.
We’re more than horses.
We’re the Unicorns
And we’re people too!”

The song fits in with the theme and direction of the mix. Given the context of the other songs, how do you interpret this song’s placement on the mix? Would it confuse you? What would you think this person was trying to tell you with the song, if anything?
