Imagine That
Seth Power Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sitting by the way
Side waiting on a good time
When I see you from across the room

Sippin' whiskey from a wine glass
Pouring from your own flask,
When you look up and you see me too.

I'm not one for chasing.
That might be changing.

I was sitting by the wayside
Waiting on a good time when I met you.

It feels like gravity,
This thing we have. (Imagine that)
You push away and pull me close.
(OOoOh)

I wanna see you in the morning.
I wanna wake up in this dream.

(OOh)
With you lying next to me (Ooh)
Lipstick and silly sheets, (oOh)

I wanna see you in the morning.
(OoOoh)

Oh oh
Now we're sitting by the Bayside
Soaking up the sunshine
Dreaming up a life with an ocean view.

Scrolling through our timelines
Sharing all the good finds
Laughing at the things we used to do.
(Ha!)

It feels like gravity,
This thing we have. (Imagine that)
You push away and pull me close.
(OOoOh)

You keep on leading me
To where you're at (Imagine that)
That space between us never lasts

I wanna see you in the morning.
I wanna wake up in this dream.
(OOh)

With you lying next to me,(Ooh)
Lipstick and silky sheets,(oOh)

I wanna see you in the morning.

(Ha)
I wanna see you in the morning.
(It feels like gravity)
I wanna wake up in this dream.
(Imagine that)

With you lying next to me,(Ooh)
Lipstick and silky sheets,(oOh)

I wanna see you in the morning.
(OoOoh)

(Imagine that)
