Imaginary Lines Lyrics

Sometimes I need your body next to mine
I could draw us an imaginary line, I'm
Just don't breath, I don't need your allergies
I am falling out of bed not out of love, love

I know you understand

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

After skipping this song for many months on my iPod, i finally listened to it. wow. It made me think this guy was so blindly inlove with a girl that he aimlessly hopes and dreams of having her, just to look at - "i could draw us an imaginary line" seems to suggest this, he is saying i know you dont want me, but "i know you will understand" because your the most wonderful person in the world. creepy and moving.
