Imagine It Was Us Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I should know better than to wait for you
If I leave
Well, it's no better
So, I'll wait for you

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know if this is wrong, but it's crept into my mind
I don't know if this is love, but I think it's worth a try
Could it be a deep fantasy?
Could it be a secret to keep?

[Chorus]
Are you waiting for something? (Imagine it was us)
Tell me, would you wait all night?
Are you thinking about it like I do, I do?
I would wait all night

[Post-Chorus]
(I would wait all night)
(I would wait all night)

[Verse 2]
There must be a reason why it has to be you
You and me
We need to make it
So it's just us two
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know if this is wrong but it's crept into my mind
I don't know if this is love but I think it's worth a try
Could it be a deep fantasy?
Could it be a secret to keep?

[Bridge]
Are you waiting for something?
Tell me, would you wait all night?
Are you thinking about it like I do, I do?
I would wait all night

[Chorus]
Are you waiting for something? (Imagine it was us)
Tell me, would you wait all night?
Are you thinking about it like I do, I do?
I would wait all night

[Outro]
If it takes all night
If it takes all night
If it takes all night for me
If it takes all night for me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

That song takes me back to a time when I thought I was going to be dropped [by my label] and had to write a new song, so it has this sense of desperation for me. But it is quite fun, I suppose, and people seem to like it.
