My Imaginary Friend
Silky Alternative Yacht Rock meets anthemic cinematic americana rock; tight dry drums, rubbery bass, chiming chorus guitars and glossy synth pads, Male vocals glide in the verses, then stack into big gang shouts on the hook, Mid-song, a synth-guitar unison riff lifts energy before a soaring final chorus, simple

Lyrics
[Verse
You're the coat in my closet, the dip in the mattress
The swivel chair where you “used” to sit
You talk in my head like a late-night station
Telling bad jokes, I still laugh at every bit
Pre-Chorus
Everybody says “Grow up, it’s time”
But you tap on the window
From the back of my mind
Chorus
You’re my imaginary friend
Singing from the edge of the room again
I reach for air, you’re there, you’re there
Dancing in the dust I spin
My imaginary friend
If the world goes cold
You slide right in
An unseen hand
Around my scared little heart (oh yeah)
Verse 2
You walk through the walls
Of my Monday meetings
Write rude cartoons
In the margins of my plans
Turn my straight-line life
Into wet-paint pavement
Leave bright footprints
All over my hands
Pre-Chorus
Everybody says “It’s all in your head”
But you’re stealing my shoes
From under the bed
Chorus
You’re my imaginary friend
Singing from the edge of the room again
I reach for air, you’re there, you’re there
Dancing in the dust I spin
My imaginary friend
If the world goes cold
You slide right in
An unseen hand
Around my scared little heart (hey!)
Bridge
Maybe you’re a ghost of the kid I was
Paper crown crooked, laughing just because
If I turn out the light, will you still glow?
You whisper “I live where you don’t let go…”
Outro
You’re my imaginary friend
Singing from the edge of the room again
I reach for air, you’re there, you’re there
Dancing in the dust I spin
My imaginary friend
If the world goes cold
You slide right in
Stay to the end, stay till the end
My imaginary friend
End
