Lyrics
The first time I ever saw you
The speaker recalls the first time they saw the person they are addressing.
I felt a chill run down my spine
The speaker experienced a physical reaction, a chill, upon seeing the person.
I had thought I'd seen an angel
The speaker initially perceived the person as angelic or special.
I think about that all the time
The speaker frequently thinks about that initial encounter.
You said, "hello," and
The person greeted the speaker with a simple "hello."
I just held my breath
The speaker was so captivated that they held their breath.
Reached out to shake hands
The speaker reached out for a handshake, but the person departed quickly.
And then you left
The encounter was brief and left the speaker longing for more.
I hope I haunt your dreams the way you do mine
The speaker wishes to linger in the other person's dreams as they do in theirs.
But I realize I'm just wasting time
The speaker acknowledges that such hopes might be futile.
Lost in your green eyes
The speaker is entranced or captivated by the person's green eyes.
If I could go back and tell you
The speaker expresses a desire to go back and communicate unspoken feelings.
All the things I never said
The speaker regrets not expressing themselves fully to the person.
Maybe then I wouldn't see your ghost
The speaker experiences the lingering presence or memories of the person.
Or hear the sound of your voice inside my head
The person's voice echoes in the speaker's mind.
Just let me know when
The speaker hopes for a future opportunity to connect with the person.
You might have time for me
The speaker is willing to wait for the person's time.
I'll be here waiting
The speaker is in a state of daydreaming or contemplation while waiting.
In reverie
Empty line, possibly emphasizing a sense of anticipation or longing.
I hope I haunt your dreams the way you do mine

But I realize I'm just wasting time
The speaker acknowledges the possibility that their hopes may be in vain.
Lost in your green eyes

I'll never haunt your dreams the way you do mine

But I'm okay with knowing I wasted all this time
The speaker accepts the realization that they may have wasted time on unfulfilled aspirations.
Lost in your green eyes
The speaker remains entranced or lost in the captivating gaze of the person's green eyes.
Lost in your green eyes
Repetition of being lost in the person's green eyes, emphasizing the lingering impact.
