Ariana Grande Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Step up the two of us, nobody knows us
Get in the car like, "Skrrt"
Stayin' up all night, order me pad thai
Then we gon' sleep 'til noon
Me with no makeup, you in the bathtub
Bubbles and bubbly, ooh
This is a pleasure, feel like we never
Act this regular

Click, click, click and post
Drip-drip-dripped in gold
Quick, quick, quick, let's go
Kiss me and take off your clothes

Imagine a world like that
Imagine a world like that
We go like up 'til I'm 'sleep on your chest
Love how my face fits so good in your neck
Why can't you imagine a world like that?
Imagine a world

Knew you were perfect after the first kiss
Took a deep breath like, "Ooh"
Feels like forever, baby, I never
Thought that it would be you
Tell me your secrets, all of the creep shit
That's how I know it's true
Baby, direct it, name in the credits
Like the movies do

Click, click, click and post
Drip-drip-dripped in gold
Quick, quick, quick, let's go
Kiss me and take off your clothes

Imagine a world like that
Imagine a world like that
We go like up 'til I'm 'sleep on your chest
Love how my face fits so good in your neck
Why can't you imagine a world like that?
Imagine a world

Can you imagine it?

Ooh, imagine (can you imagine?)

godly music

if the "thank u, next" album had it's own aesthetics..

imagine - sky blue waterfall
needy - grey clouds
nasa - galaxy and milky way with stars
bloodline - red wavy water
fake smile - lime green flowers
bad idea - red, blue & purple lights in a club
make up - pink and purple glitter
ghostin - white sad led lights with handprints
in my head - a white cloud over a black head print
7 rings - purple neon nails with lipstick
thank u, next - yellow, black, blue and pink plaid
break up with your girlfriend, im bored - sunset with black and brown buildings and street lights

just my theory :)

This song has a crazy sad meaning. Notice how everytime she ask can you imagine there's no answer. Because he's not here. And the whole concept of this lyric video is falling and crashing until there's just darkness. At the end when she asks "can you" she answers herself cuz she can't get over him. And at the end it's just a black screen as she keeps repeating the word "imagine" because all she can do is imagine. and the whole iceberg concept can represent a relationship that is literally falling apart

Ariana suffers from belching

The whole concept is that she is imagining a world and a life with him
