[English]

I'm not the type

But I will let you, I will let you in tonight (mhm)

I'm a little shy

But we could turn down, we could turn down all the lights

...

Mmm, If you can picture it, it's real (mhm)

You, you don't need your eyes to feel

Just watch me, watch me, watch me with your hands

(Watch me, watch me, watch me with your hands)

Let my body, body, body be your breath

(Body, body, body be your breath)

I'll be your imaginary friend (mm-hmm)

I'll be your imaginary friend

Watch me, watch me, watch me with your hands

(Watch me, watch me, watch me with your hands)

Let my body, body, body be your breath

(Body, body, body be your breath)

I'll be your imaginary friend (mm-hmm)

Imaginary friend (mm-hmm)

If you read my mind, you would know

You would know, I'm satisfied

And I'm gonna be everything you, everything you fantasized

So, please

Turn the lights down if it's real (mhm)

You, you don't need your eyes to feel

Just watch me, watch me, watch me with your hands

(Watch me, watch me, watch me with your hands)

Let my body, body, body be your breath

(Body, body, body be your breath)

I'll be your imaginary friend (mm-hmm)

I'll be your imaginary friend

Watch me, watch me, watch me with your hands

(Watch me, watch me, watch me with your hands)

Let my body, body, body be your breath

(Body, body, body be your breath)

I'll be your imaginary friend (mm-hmm)

Imaginary friend

(Imaginary friend, imaginary friend, imaginary friend)

Are we all alone out here?

I caught my heartbeat and send it out into the universe

Do you think anyone will ever hear?

Just watch me, watch me, watch me with your hands

(Watch me, watch me, watch me with your hands)

Let my body, body, body be your breath

(Body, body, body be your breath)

I'll be your imaginary friend (mm-hmm)

...

I'll be your imaginary friend

Watch me, watch me, watch me with your hands

(Watch me, watch me, watch me with your hands)

Let my body, body, body be your breath

(Body, body, body be your breath)

I'll be your imaginary friend (mm-hmm)

Imaginary friend
