{Verse no 1}

I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell
And now you're in my way
I trade my soul for a wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my way

In the first verse of the song, as it is believed when a coin is thrown in a well, a person makes a wish by closing his/her eyes, the wish will be fulfilled by doing this act so the writer has also made a wish and says that not to ask about what he has prayed and asked for because he will not tell. As the coin fell in the well, the picture of her lover revolved around in her head and now she knows what she wants. And now she says that only you are on my way.

{Verse no 2}

You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all
But still, you're in my way
I beg and borrow and steal
At first sight, and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it
But it's in my way

In this verse the writer says to her loved one that he had taken time to call her but she had not taken a single second to fall in love with him. Her lover had not given him anything but still she cant stop falling for him as it is the type of first sight love. Her love is non fictitious and genuine.

{Chorus}

Your stare was holdin'
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?

In the chorus of the song, writer expressed the appearance of her loved one when she saw him. He was in his ragged jeans and it was a beautiful night with blowing winds. She asked him where is has planned to go. His stare just left the writer astonished as she is not able to forget that one stare.

{Chorus}

Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
It's hard to look right at you, baby
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me, maybe
And all the other boys try to chase me
But here's my number, so call me, maybe

In these lines of the song, the writer felt a little crazy as she just met a guy and at his first stare, she felt for her and gave her number to him so that they can stay in touch with each other. She asked him to call her as it isn’t easy for her to have face to face interaction as she is feeling shy to talk in front of him. She says that other boys follow her but she is only behind him, waiting for his call.

{Verse no 3}

Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad, I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad

In these lines, writer describes her feelings that how badly he missed her lover before he came into his life and she is telling him that he should know this fact of her life that he has immense importance in her life now.
