[Pre-chorus: Imagine]
Life goes, life goes by
And my heart’s going in circles
Time goes, time goes by
Now my mind’s reaching the surface
Life goes, life goes by
And my heart’s going in circles
Time goes, time goes by
Now my mind’s reaching the surface
[Verse 1: Imagine]
Now while you’re watering my flowers
I don’t know if I can make it to the tip of all these hours,
I’m just asking you for questions
But you don’t come up with answers
So I’m taking you to places that I can’t even Imagine
I’ve been here waiting so long that I don’t even know
How much I can take it, I lost patience
Now I’m fading like a sunset
Now if it’s you that’s looking for me
Then you can come up to me and we can hook up ‘til the morning
[Bridge: Evita Koné]
Oh, now everything's in motion, here we go
Now has the sun always had this kind of glow?
Would be a shame if I have to watch it go
Put a piece in my pocket and I take one for the road
Now everything's in motion, here we go
Love is there but it doesn't always show
Would be a shame if I had to watch it go
Save a bit for later and then I'll take one for the road
[Chorus: Evita Koné]
And bring a little light to dark
And baby you can show your spark
And oh, before you know
It'll all go up in smoke
And bring a little light to dark
And baby you can show your spark
And oh, before you know
It'll all go up in smoke
[Verse 2: Dr Koul]
I was on the inside looking in
Now I’m on the outside looking out
I don’t know the truth, but I know the doubt
I don’t know the dance moves, but I know the sound
Of the song, but the lyrics, when it’s gibberish
That’s when you sing along?
When it’s serious, you get lost
I’m just trying to share my f****ing thoughts,
Missing out
[Pre-chorus: Imagine & Evita Koné]
Life goes, life goes by
And my heart’s going in circles
Time goes, time goes by
Now my mind’s reaching the surface
Life goes, life goes by
And my heart’s going in circles
Time goes, time goes by
Now my mind’s reaching the surface
[Chorus: Evita Koné (& Imagine)]
(Life goes, life goes by)
And bring a little light to dark
And baby you can show your spark
(Time goes, time goes by)
And oh, before you know
It'll all go up in smoke
(Life goes, life goes by)
And bring a little light to dark
And baby you can show your spark
(Time goes, time goes by)
And oh, before you know
It'll all go up in smoke

[Chorus: Imagine]
If you want we can do it all night girl,
I can give you what you want and blow your mind first,
We can go out on a ride and make the right turn
You know my world can be your world,
If you want we can do it all night
(all night, all night)
If you want we can do it all night
If you want we can do it all night
(all night, all night)
If you want we can do it all night
[Bridge: Evita Koné]
It's been so long I need it
Stuck in the same routine and
Something about you's so unique
Come closer, baby, what you feeling?
[Verse 1: Imagine]
When it’s brighter than the pictures in the cinema
We go higher than the ceiling that is in your house
We gonna find a way to make it to the pinnacle
‘Cause inviting you tonight is what i’m living for
[Verse 2: Dr Koul]
Hearts worth more than cars and quartzes
Shops cannot afford to stock this
As long as we’re both responsible
Ours is pure with no precautions, come on
[Verse 3: Imagine]
We gotta live it now, what do you think about,
When we’re sliding in your sheets gradually slipping out
So we can go all out and we can cuddle later,
Doesn’t it feel just fine to be a troublemaker
[Verse 4: Dr Koul]
Come, let’s duck out of this function
Just for us the stars can luster
Love combusts when trust conducts it
Now’s the chance for us to…
[Chorus: Imagine]
If you want we can do it all night girl,
I can give you what you want and blow your mind first,
We can go out on a ride and make the right turn
You know my world can be your world,
If you want we can do it all night
(all night, all night)
If you want we can do it all night
If you want we can do it all night
(all night, all night)
If you want we can do it all night
[Bridge: Evita Koné]
It's been so long I need it
Stuck in the same routine and
Something about you's so unique
Come closer, baby, what you feeling?

[Chorus: Baby Sxmba]
Trouve des sourires où que j’aille
We be cruising to the vibe
Je veux plus courir pour la maille
I’m a do it ‘til I die
Trouve des sourires où que j’aille
We be cruising to the vibe
Je veux plus courir pour la maille
I’m a do it ‘til I die
[Bridge: Baby Sxmba (& Evita Koné)]
You got it, I got it
(let’s hit the road then)
You got it, I got it
(and feel the soul now)
I got it, you got it
(let’s hit the road then)
You got it, I got it
(and feel the soul now)
[Verse 1: Dr Koul]
Strive to be charitable
Like giving out a fat stack
Learned a lot
Living out of a backpack
Traveled all over
All I got was some handclaps
Swerved the roadblocks
Hardworking is never over
Always adapt,
No matter what the habitat
Started as fans,
Now show you where the fam is at
Tribute to Hip Hop
Give me weapons to interact
Jewels are dropped
Now we gather to have a laugh
[Verse 2: Imagine]
Walking away ain’t the smartest of things
But hey, you got the opportunity to start a new page
Harder to stay when no cards can be played
But who cares about the rules if your heart is okay
Eyes on the road, let the scenery race
The earth connected to your soul, always leaving a trace
Time to grow, time to heal all the pain,
Wherever I go, I know the feeling is grace
[Chorus: Baby Sxmba]
Trouve des sourires où que j’aille
We be cruising to the vibe
Je veux plus courir pour la maille
I’m a do it ‘til I die
Trouve des sourires où que j’aille
We be cruising to the vibe
Je veux plus courir pour la maille
I’m a do it ‘til I die
[Verse 3: kamaumeetsworld]
I hop in like I’m right on my cue
(on my cue, yeah)
The best is when I’m right here with you
(right here with you, yeah)
Chasing no particular view
(oh no, no, no)
I’d just rather paint you the truth
(oh the truth, yeah)
It’s hard to feel blessed,
When you feel stressed
When you got weight
Weighing down on your chest
I try to let go, give that sh*t a rest,
Now I say, “So it goes”
And, “It is what it is”
[Verse 4: Evita Koné]
Turning heads, breaking necks
Wherever I go
Hall of fame, I kill the game
Wherever I go
I can't help but to impress
Wherever I go
Leave it on a high note
In every time zone
Baby I don't mean to
Leave you in the dust
But you can be my plus-one
That's if you want
Let's see what we can do
With this wanderlust
I want it, I get it, I got it
Baby keep up
[Bridge: Baby Sxmba (& Evita Koné)]
You got it, I got it
(let’s hit the road then)
You got it, I got it
(and feel the soul now)
I got it, you got it
(let’s hit the road then)
You got it, I got it
(and feel the soul now)
[Chorus: Baby Sxmba]
Trouve des sourires où que j’aille
We be cruising to the vibe
Je veux plus courir pour la maille
I’m a do it ‘til I die
Trouve des sourires où que j’aille
We be cruising to the vibe
Je veux plus courir pour la maille
I’m a do it ‘til I die

[Chorus: Evita Koné]
Sitting here thinking bout you
Making me feel brand new
My eyes set on you
You ask if I'd go there with you
Baby if you only knew
What I'd do to you
Sitting here thinking bout you
Making me feel brand new
My eyes set on you
You ask if I'd go there with you
Baby if you only knew
What I'd do to you
[Verse 1: Imagine]
Do you move this way ‘cause you think that you're special?
Keep doing your thing, you’re gonna get in some trouble
You’re all around me like my arm on your waist,
We’re spread out together like cards on your table
I want you to stay
Breaking grounds like we’re falling from grace
Pick me up like the wind before rain
Set sail, we can ride on your wave
I cannot ignore this, can’t get out this vortex,
Lining out your portrait, let the metaphor play
I cannot ignore this, can’t get out this vortex
Lining out your portrait, let the metaphor play
[Chorus: Evita Koné]
Sitting here thinking bout you
Making me feel brand new
My eyes set on you
You ask if I'd go there with you
Baby if you only knew
What I'd do to you
Sitting here thinking bout you
Making me feel brand new
My eyes set on you
You ask if I'd go there with you
Baby if you only knew
What I'd do to you
[Verse 2: Dr Koul]
Kneeling at the edge of the bed
Like prayer time
I think I let her get in my head
It’s a state of mind
Theaters don’t play this
So I don’t need to wait in line
It takes a second to spread butter
So please - take your time
I can take your dirtiest thoughts
And make them rhyme
Make them feel fresh out the shower
The naked light flickering
And the bombs tick, tickling
Almost push you over the edge
The walls between us fall
Trickling to waterfalls
And if you wake the neighbors
Then it’s not my fault
We’ve opened up the flavors like a bottletop
And we can share a candle once we mellow out,
Vibernum

[Chorus: Evita Koné]
Sitting here thinking bout you
Making me feel brand new
My eyes set on you
You ask if I'd go there with you
Baby if you only knew
What I'd do to you
Sitting here thinking bout you
Making me feel brand new
My eyes set on you
You ask if I'd go there with you
Baby if you only knew
What I'd do to you

[Intro: Evita Koné]
Everybody's got a past
Getting kissed by the sands
Of the hour glass
And the scars, they show
Who makes friends with the ghost
[Chorus: Evita Koné]
And when the dust settles
Are you rust or are you petals?
When the dust settles
Are you rust or are you petals?
[Verse 1: Dr Koul]
Never did what I was told
Always on my own, even when I was at home
Found a way to roam,
The great outdoors, even when I was at home
Raindrops on window panes
I could stay locked in but disobey
Cartoon thoughts when I’m at a concert
Daydream much? Now I know it’s concrete
Never did what I was told,
Reinterpret orders, diminish rewards
But long-term goals didn’t know I’d fostered
Could bring discordance
Both parents born the Year of the Rat
The metal horse wants the great wide open
And can’t be stopped, reared-in or broken
When I look back, realize it was hopeless
Never did what I was told
Follow a path in the grass to the fjord
Laid out by ancestors crossing before
Melodies played by guitars and the oud
Let there be love because music’s the food
Never did what I was told
But what once grew, now will grow anew
But what once grew, now will grow anew
But what once grew, now will grow anew
[Verse 2: Imagine]
Save us
We’ve been afraid, can’t turn a page
Make us
Believe in fate, it’s not too late
Please save us
We’ve been afraid, can’t turn a page
Make us
Believe in fate, it’s not too late
Wanna believe in love, but we don’t dream enough
We gotta get back to the essence, let’s believe in us
Tell them they’re capable, show them the way to go
And they will shine like suns, smiling with a face of gold
[Chorus: Evita Koné]
And when the dust settles
Are you rust or are you petals?
When the dust settles
Are you rust or are you petals?
