IMAGINATION
Shawn Mendes 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 wanna 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 wanna say to you
This is typical of 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
Our hands are gently intertwined
A feeling I just can't describe
All this time we 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 wanna say to you
This is typical of love
I can't wait anymore, I won't wait
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? (Whoa, oh)
Imagination (whoa, oh, whoa, oh)
Imagination (whoa, oh)
(Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, ooh)
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 wanna say to you
The first verse of "Imagination" describes the singer's longing for someone he sees every morning. He admires her beauty and can't help but think about what could happen between them. The chorus repeats the idea that he's craving this person, but he can't find the words to express his feelings. He's at a typical impasse in a budding relationship, and he can't hold back his emotions any longer. But he's also aware that this could all be in his imagination.
The second verse shifts to a dream sequence where the two are walking along the ocean and holding hands. The singer can't contain his desire any longer and needs to tell this person how he feels. The chorus repeats the same sentiments, but now with a more urgent plea to not wait any longer because he wants to be with this person forever.
Overall, the song captures the butterflies and excitement of a potential relationship, while also highlighting the uncertainty and fear that come with putting oneself out there. The dream-like imagery emphasizes the idea that this could all be in the singer's head. The repetition of certain lines underlines the singer's yearning and potential regret for not expressing his affection.

Oh, there she goes again
Every time I see her, my heart skips a beat

You walk on by my house
She walks past my house every day
I wanna call out your name
I wish I could gather the courage to call out her name
I wanna tell you how beautiful you are from where I'm standing
I want her to know how beautiful she looks even from afar
You got me thinking what we could be 'cause
She makes me imagine what we could be if we were together
I keep craving, craving, you don't know it but it's true
I am longing for her every day, even though she's unaware of it
Can't get my mouth to say the words they wanna say to you
I can't seem to express the words I want to say to her
This is typical of love
This feeling is common when you're in love
Can't wait anymore, I won't wait

Maybe it's just all in my head
We walk, we laugh, we spend our time walking by the ocean side
I imagine us spending time together, enjoying each other's company by the ocean
Our hands are gently intertwined
I imagine us holding hands while we walk
A feeling I just can't describe
I have a feeling of happiness and completeness that I can't put into words
All this time we spent alone, thinking we could not belong to something so damn beautiful
I have been alone, thinking that I could never be a part of something so beautiful, but I have hope now
Imagination (whoa, oh, whoa, oh)
All of these thoughts come from my imagination
In my dreams, you're with me
I continue to dream of being with her
Or is that just me and my imagination
But maybe it's just all in my head and it will never happen

Oh there she goes again
Oh dia mulai lagi
Every morning is the same
Setiap pagi selalu begitu
You walk on by my house
Kau berlalu-lalang di dekat rumahku
I wanna call out your name
Aku ingin memanggil namamu
I wanna tell you how beautiful you are from where I'm standing
Ingin kukatakan padamu betapa cantik dirimu dari tempatku berdiri
You've got me thinking what we could be, cause
Kau membuatku berpikir bisa jadi apa kita, karena
II
I keep craving, craving
Aku terus mendamba, mendamba
You don't know it but it's true
Kau tak tahu tapi sungguh
Can't get my mouth to say the words I wanna say to you
Tak bisa kubuka mulutku tuk ucapkan kata-kata yang ingin kukatakan padamu
This is typical of love
Ini ciri-ciri cinta
Can't wait any more, won't wait
Tak sabar lagi, tak mau menunggu
I need to tell you how I feel when I see us together forever
Aku harus memberitahumu perasaanku saat kulihat kita bersama selamanya
III
In my dreams you're with me
Di dalam mimpiku, kau bersamaku
We'll be everything I want us to be
Kita kan jadi apapun yang kumau
And from there, who knows?
Dan dari situ, siapa tahu?
Maybe this will be the night that we kiss for the first time
Mungkin ini kan jadi malam kita berciuman pertama kali
Or is that just me and my imagination
Atau itu hanya aku dan khayalanku
We walk, we laugh, we spend our time walking by the ocean side
Kita berjalan, kita tertawa, kita habiskan waktu dengan berjalan di pantai
Our hands are gently intertwined
Tangan kita bergandengan mesra
A feeling I just can't describe
Perasaan yang tak bisa kugambarkan
All this time we spend alone
Seluruh waktu yang kita habiskan sendirian
Thinking we could not belong to something so beautiful
Mengira kita tak bisa miliki sesuatu yang begitu indah
So beautiful
Begitu indah
Back to II, III
Imagination
Khayalanku
Imagination
Khayalanku
Back to III
I keep craving, craving
Aku terus mendamba, mendamba
You don't know it but it's true
Kau tak tahu tapi sungguh
Can't get my mouth to say the words I wanna say to you
Tak bisa kubuka mulutku tuk ucapkan kata-kata yang ingin kukatakan padamu
