Imaginate
KSHMR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sorry I don't want to change
Thinking about the way we were
It takes me to another place
Because I…
I don't want to wake up form this dream It's our own reality
So close your eyes open your mind
And let it free
It's all you need
I don't want to leave this place
Standing still in my pretend
Give me just a little space
To figure out myself again
Because I…
I don't want to wake up form this dream It's our own reality
So close your eyes open your mind
And let it free
Imaginate and realize
It's all you need
