Lyrics meaning
The song presents a speaker who is strongly attracted to a girl but expects the relationship to bring sadness. The repeated โna naโ sounds make the song feel playful and carefree, while the words reveal worry and possible heartbreak. In the refrain, the speaker seems to hear the girl calling, then reassures himself that the heartbreak was only a dream.
โOn my mindโ means that he thinks about her often. Calling her the โbest girlโ he has had suggests affection and admiration, but the immediate warning that she may make him sad adds doubt. โHushโ usually means โbe quietโ; here, its repetition can sound like the speaker is trying to quiet a thought or feeling, though it also works as a catchy refrain. The contrast between morning and evening suggests that these thoughts may return at different times of day.
The lyrics do not explain why the girl might cause sadness, or whether the heartbreak is real or imagined. The line about it being a dream may mean the speaker has woken from a troubling dream, or may be a way of denying a painful feeling. His claim that he was never a dreamer sounds like an insistence that he is realistic, but the song leaves open whether he truly believes that.
