Imagination Lyrics
I wouldn't try to throw myself away
If you asked me, I'd say
To be careful, my love
At death, we'll leave the same
If you want me to stay
Don't keep me waiting for it
[Pre-Chorus]
We can't change the things we can't control
It's summer somewhere, so you shouldn't be so cold
But you can't even look me in the eye if you tried
We can try, we can try
[Chorus]
I see us dancing by ourselves
We do it better with no one around, yeah
Just you in my imagination, yeah
In my imagination, oh
[Verse 2]
Yeah, well, there's nothing left to cry about
I guess I'm living in a drought
Well, it's raining like it was before
Something that you never knew you needed more of
We can't change the things we can't control
It's summer somewhere, so you shouldn't be so cold
But you can't even look me in the eye if you tried
We can try, we can try
[Chorus]
I see us dancing by ourselves
We do it better with no one around, yeah
Just you in my imagination, yeah
In my imagination, oh
[Bridge]
Just use your imagination, oh
Just use your imagination, oh
Woo
Woo
[Chorus]
I see us dancing by ourselves
We do it better with no one around, yeah
Just you in my imagination, yeah
In my imagination, oh
[Outro]
Yeah, well, I can do so many things
So many things, so many things
You know if you just use your imagination
Oh, just use your imagination, oh
I really love you

In a series of tweets the day of the song’s release, Mark Foster said:
i think the quality that makes us distinctly human is our ability to live in duality. we comprehend the present external world we’re in, while having an internal dialogue about what it all means. we can be our own best friends. we can be our own mortal enemy. we can ski the alps in the peak of summer from under our bed covers at night. we can sail the high seas with Yeats and pick his brain about the afterlife in the holy city of Byzantium. we can fall in love with a stranger that passes us on the street; forming a complete history and future with a person we’ve never even spoken to. our internal life is a universe, worthy to be explored and engaged. a dangerous place full of desires, undiscovered and unfulfilled. in our imagination we can escape our reality and create a new one.
