Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got me changing my words and my behavior
Pretty lady, you're my operator
Got me dialing your number just to hear ya
Tell me the things that you want
I give you all that I've got
Open your eyes, then you will see
It's just you and me
Only
Throwing out the key
Just living in a dream
It's just you and me
Only
Listen to you breathe
Just living in a dream
It's just you and me
My disaster, you're my only answer
You got me thinking that I could be your master
Pretty baby, you're my heavy ocean
Weigh me down and give me your devotion
Tell me the things that you want (you want)
I give you all that I've got (I've got)
Open your eyes, then you will see
It's just you and me
Only
Throwing out the key
Just living in a dream
It's just you and me
Only
Listen to you breathe
Just living in a dream
It's just you and me
Take, take me over
They'll take me over
And I don't wanna wake up
It's just you and me
Take, take me over
They'll take me over
And I don't wanna wake up
It's just you and me
Dream, dream, dream, dream world
Dream, dream, dream, dream world (take, take me over)
They'll take me over
I don't wanna wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Listen to you breathe
Just living in a dream
It's just you and me
Only
Throwing out the key
Just living in a dream
It's just you and me
Dream, dream, dream, dream world
It's just you and me
Dream, dream, dream, dream world
Only
The song "Only" by Imagine Dragons is a romantic ballad about being in love with someone so deeply that nothing else matters. The lyrics describe a passionate relationship between the singer and his lover, with the woman being the driving force for the singer's changed behaviour. He describes her as a beautiful motivator and operator, who makes him want to be a better person. He is willing to give her all that he has and wants to be devoted to her.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "It's just you and me, only" several times, highlighting the exclusivity of their relationship. They are throwing out the key and living in a dream where they are the only ones that matter. The singer doesn't want to wake up from this dream because it's just him and his lover.

Oh, pretty baby, you're my motivator
You inspire me and make me feel determined
Got me changing my words and my behavior
You have influenced me to change the way I speak and act
Pretty lady, you're my operator
You control my emotions and actions like an operator controlling a machine
Got me dialing your number just to hear ya
I want to hear your voice so badly that I call you just to listen to you
Tell me the things that you want
Please speak your mind and let me know what you desire
I give you all that I've got
I'm willing to give you my all, my best effort
Open your eyes, then you will see
If you're more observant and aware, you'll notice what's truly happening
It's just you and me
There's no one else involved, just us two
Only
Exclusively
Throwing out the key
Cutting ourselves off from the outside world
Just living in a dream
We're so disconnected that it feels like we're not in reality
Listen to you breathe
Your breath is calming and helps me focus on the present moment
My disaster, you're my only answer
You are the solution to all of my problems, even if you are the cause of some of them
You got me thinking that I could be your master
I feel like I'm in control of the relationship, despite being completely dependent on you
Pretty baby, you're my heavy ocean
You're suffocating me with your overwhelming presence and love
Weigh me down and give me your devotion
Your attention and loyalty are causing me to feel trapped and burdened
Take, take me over
I surrender completely to your influence
They'll take me over
The outside world or other people will take me away from this dreamlike state
And I don't wanna wake up
I don't want to return to reality and face the difficulties of life without you
Dream, dream, dream, dream world
Our disconnected state feels like a dream that we don't want to leave
It's just you and me
Once again, it's just us with no other distractions or interruptions
Only
Exclusively
Dream, dream, dream, dream world
We're still lost in this dreamlike state where nothing else exists
Only
Still exclusively
