My Imagination
Shawn Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every morning it's the same
You walk on by my house
I wanna call out your name
I wanted to tell you how beautiful you are from where I'm standing
You got me thinking what we could be 'cause
Can't get my mouth to say the words they want to say to you
This is typical love, love
Can't wait anymore, I won't wait I need to tell you how I feel when I see us together forever
In my dreams, you're with me
We'll be everything I want us to be
And from there, who knows, maybe this will be the night that we kiss for the first time
Or is that just me and my imagination
We walk, we laugh, we spend our time, walking by the ocean side
My hands are jellied, intertwined
A feeling I just can't describe
All this time you spent alone, thinking we could not belong to something so damn beautiful
So damn beautiful
I keep craving, craving, you don't know it but it's true
Can't get my mouth to say the words they want to say to you
This is typical love, love
Can't wait anymore, I won't wait I need to tell you how I feel when I see us together forever
In my dreams, you're with me
We'll be everything I want us to be
And from there, who knows, maybe this will be the night that we kiss for the first time
Or is that just me and my imagination
Imagination
Imagination
(Woah, woah, woah...)
In my dreams, you're with me
We'll be everything I want us to be
And from there, who knows, maybe this will be the night that we kiss for the first time
Or is that just me and my imagination
I keep craving, craving, you don't know it but it's true
Can't get my mouth to say the words they want to say to you
The lyrics of Shawn Brown's "My Imagination" explore the feelings of unrequited love and the power of imagination. Brown describes a girl who he sees every morning walking by his house, and how he wants to call out her name and tell her how beautiful she is. Despite his intense desire for her, he cannot bring himself to speak his feelings aloud. Instead, he imagines a future together in his dreams, where they walk together by the ocean, holding hands and laughing. The song ends with Brown wondering if his imaginings will ever become a reality, or if he is simply lost in his own fantasies.
The lyrics of "My Imagination" are relatable to many people who have experienced unrequited love or have struggled to express their feelings to someone they admire. The song captures the intense longing and desire that can consume a person when they are attracted to someone but are unable to act on their feelings. The use of the chorus, "I keep craving, craving, you don't know it but it's true / Can't get my mouth to say the words they want to say to you / This is typical love, love / Can't wait anymore, I won't wait I need to tell you how I feel when I see us together forever" emphasizes the urgency and frustration of the singer's emotions.
Overall, "My Imagination" is a powerful exploration of the ways that our imagination can shape our emotions and desires, even when reality falls short. It highlights the universal struggles of love and the power of the human imagination.

My hands are jellied, intertwined
When we are together, I feel a special connection
A feeling I just can't describe

I hope she realizes that we could have a beautiful relationship together
So damn beautiful
Our potential for love is incredible

I grew up listening to this song. Im 34 now. My parents used to play this all weekend, we would have cookouts and friends and family over. I remember watching my mom at the kitchen table cutting up all the veggies for potato salads and marinating the meats for Dad to grill. Playing and running in the backyard all day. I just lost mom to covid jan 26 2021..i play this for her on the weekends and i close my eyes and imagine i am back there with her again. She was just 62. I love you momma...
