Imagination - Shawn Mendes

“Imagination” is the second bonus track off of Mendes' platinum-selling debut studio album Handwritten. The song clocks in at 3 minutes 38 seconds and follows many of the familiar love-pop tropes of unrequited love that Shawn Mendes is known for.

The official audio on YouTube, as of November 2017, has over 40 million views.

Oh, there she goes again

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...

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

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

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?

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Imagination

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Imagination

Whoa, whoa, whoa

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
