Imaginary Nation

IMAGINARY NATION

We drew a map of an island

On the day that we met

We did the final thing first

So that we’d never forget

All I need is to be your imaginary nation

Will you repeat after me

Just like a paper doll row

You never know yourself better

Than the ones who love you know, no

All I need is to be your imaginary nation

All I can’t undo

I unfold into

See another world

Begin to unfurl

(Into) copies of copies

Of our way down within

When I’m felt but not there

I will be your phantom limb

All I need is to be your imaginary nation

(So) you can take all my money

Keep my tears in the rain

Cos you know if I could

I’d do it over again

All I need is to be your imaginary nation

all I can’t undo

I unfold into

Til I’m turning blue

I’ll stand in front of you

All I need is to be your imaginary nation

All I can’t undo

I unfold into

See another world

Begin to unfurl

All I need is to be your imaginary nation

So I’ll leave you my looks

My looks of disdain

My Books of mistakes

And Letters all in a chain

Cos I know if I could

I’d do it over again

My paper doll
