IMAGINATION
Christy June Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Imagination is funny
It makes the cloudy day sunny
Makes the bee think of honey
Just as I think of you

Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
Starts you asking a daisy

What to do, what to do

Have you ever felt the gentle touch
And then a kiss, and then, and then
Find it's only your imagination again
Oh, well

Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example, I go around wanting you
And yet I can't imagine that you want me too

Imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly

For example, I go around wanting you
And yet I can't imagine that you want me too
