Imaginary Fire Lyrics

When you're on your own
You default to guilty
It's fine, you're wasting your own time
But don't drag me in just to push me away

We can make this simple
But it's really up to you

It takes resolve to see
That you really don't get nothing for free

Oh, it takes a lot to love
The way that you feel when you're all alone
But we create the stars above
When we go, ooh-oh
And I really want us both to try
To leave the imaginary fire behind

(Oh, behind)
(Yeah)

If you want to resume your position with me
I won't, I'm in another place
And you'll tell yourself that I'm pulling away
We can make this simple

But it's really up to you
I know it's hard to feel
But you really don't get nothing for free

Oh, It takes a lot to love
The way that you feel when you're all alone
But we create the stars above
When we go, ooh-oh
And I really want us both to try
To leave the imaginary fire behind

(Oh behind)

And now the viciousness
Colour emotionless
Faith is hard for us to keep
If we're on our own
In the great unknown

And now the viciousness
Colour emotionless
Faith is hard for us to keep
If we're on our own
In the great unknown, ooh-oh-oh, oh-ooh

Oh, It takes a lot to love
The way that you feel when you're all alone
But we create the stars above
When we go, ooh-oh
And I really want us both to try
To leave the imaginary fire behind
(Yeah, behind)
(Oh, behind)
(Yeah, be mine)

Genius Answer

Greg Puciato shared:

Lyrically the song is pretty to the point. Two people frustratingly trying to get rid of their fears and their made-up bullshit so they can move forward, together or separate, free of outcome.
