Imagine That Lyrics by Ani Difranco

Imagine That

Imagine that I am onstage
Under a watchtower of punishing light
And in the haze is your face bathed in shadow
And whats beyond you is hidden from sight
And somebody right now is yawning
And watching me like a tv
And Ive been frantically piling up sandbags
Against the flood waters of fatigue and insecurity

Then suddenly I hear my guitar singing
And so I just start singing along
And somewhere in my chest
All the noise just gets crushed by the song

Imagine that Im at your mercy
Imagine that you are at mine
Pretend Ive been standing here
Watching you watching me
All this time
Now imagine that you are the weather
In the tiny snow globe of this song
And I am the statue of liberty
One inch long

So here I am at my most hungry
And here I am at my most full
Here I am waving a red cape
Locking eyes with a bull

Just imagine that I am onstage
Under a watchtower of punishing light
And in the haze is your face bathed in shadow
And whats beyond you is hidden from sight
