Imagination
Young Lyrics

She lit a cigarette, both hands behind her back
She concealed her actions, smoking a cigarette while hiding her true intentions

Thought she was hungry, lack of choice saw to that
She believed she desired something, but circumstances forced her to settle for less

Only you can try to see what I'm really like
She hoped that only one person would make an effort to truly understand her

She said, only you can understand the way I feel toni-ight
She expressed that only a specific person could comprehend her current emotions

She blamed excesses on the 'merican dream
She attributed her indulgences to the unrealistic ideals of the American dream

So seldom witnessed, never-er seen
Such behavior is rarely observed, almost unheard of

Hah - hah - hah - hah - hah...
Laughs of amusement or irony

Imagination - could make a man of you
The power of imagination can transform someone and shape their identity

Imagination - could make me love you too
Imagination has the potential to create love between two individuals

Imagination - is all I want from you-ou
All she desires from the other person is their imaginative capabilities

She lost her virtue before she could write
She experienced a loss of innocence or moral purity at a young age

I lost mine too, on my very first night with you-ou
The artist also lost their virginity during their initial encounter with the other person

You'll have to guide me, these impossible schemes
The singer requires the other person's guidance to navigate through complicated and unrealistic plans

You make me steal unstealable things
The other person influences the singer to take intangible or unattainable possessions

And - she blamed excesses on the 'merican dream
Once again, she assigns responsibility for her extravagant behavior to the ideals of the American dream
