“Hallucinating” recounts an unexpected reconnection with a high‑school crush, mixing nostalgic details with the dizzy feeling of sudden attraction.

We met back in the 9th grade
I'm not surprised that you don't remember
You had cool friends, went to parties
Your type don't talk to girls like me, not ever
What did you say?
Did you mean that?
I'm a little bit taken back, so sue me
Got me like, wait did you see that?
Ohhh am I hallucinating?
Have you been drinking?
Saying that you like me like that
I thought you hate me
I'm hallucinating
I must be baby
In a million years
I never thought you'd kiss me that's crazy
(I never thought you'd kiss me that's crazy)
We locked eyes
I looked down, like a movie
You must be checking the girl behind me
You said “Hey what’s your name?”
I said “Who me?”
Next thing I knew I had your perfume on me
What did you say?
Did you mean that?
I'm a little bit taken back, so sue me
Got me like, wait did you see that?
Ohhh
Am I hallucinating?
Have you been drinking?
Saying that you like me like that
I thought you hate me
I'm hallucinating
I must be baby
In a million years
I never thought you'd kiss me that's crazy
What did you say?
Did you mean that?

Hallucinating, have you been drinking?
Saying that you like me like that
I thought you hate me
I'm hallucinating
I must be baby
In a million years
I never thought you'd kiss me that's crazy
Nooooo am I hallucinating
Am I?
In a million years
I never thought you'd kiss me that's crazy
