Imagine if the life that you thought you shared wasn't really there 00:29

It was made up in your mind, could be anyone, anywhere 00:36

'Cause you'd been living in a world of your own design, undermined 00:44

In another place, other space in time 00:52

00:57

As the dust clears and it all starts to disappear 01:00

It may get harder 'cause you just restarted 01:08

And wherever you are, land on another stone 01:16

It may get harder 'cause you just restarted 01:23

You better get real, real, real 01:34

And realise that the situation's going nowhere 01:36

Because you act so tough, I've totally lost control 01:42

So please try to understand that if I could 01:49

I'd call and I would be there 01:52

And if it didn't hurt so much, you know I'd give you it all 01:57

You know I'd give you it all 02:03

02:07

Imagine if the friend that you thought you knew wasn't really true 02:35

It just existed in your head, the reflection used wasn't you 02:42

Completely unaware, could be anywhere, anytime 02:50

02:56

'Cause there was a shift in the paradigm 02:58

03:02

As the dust clears and it all starts to disappear 03:05

It may get harder 'cause you just restarted 03:13

And wherever you are, land on another stone 03:21

It may get harder 'cause you just restarted 03:29

You better get real, real, real 03:36

And realise that the situation's going nowhere 03:38

Because you act so tough, I've totally lost control 03:43

So please try to understand that if I could 03:51

I'd call and I would be there 03:54

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Imagine if the life that you thought you shared wasn't really there

It was made up in your mind, could be anyone, anywhere

'Cause you'd been living in a world of your own design, undermined

In another place, other space in time

...

As the dust clears and it all starts to disappear

It may get harder 'cause you just restarted

And wherever you are, land on another stone

It may get harder 'cause you just restarted

You better get real, real, real

And realise that the situation's going nowhere

Because you act so tough, I've totally lost control

So please try to understand that if I could

I'd call and I would be there

And if it didn't hurt so much, you know I'd give you it all

You know I'd give you it all

...

Imagine if the friend that you thought you knew wasn't really true

It just existed in your head, the reflection used wasn't you

Completely unaware, could be anywhere, anytime

...

'Cause there was a shift in the paradigm

...

As the dust clears and it all starts to disappear

It may get harder 'cause you just restarted

And wherever you are, land on another stone

It may get harder 'cause you just restarted

You better get real, real, real

And realise that the situation's going nowhere

Because you act so tough, I've totally lost control

So please try to understand that if I could

I'd call and I would be there

And if it didn't hurt so much, you know I'd give you it all

...
