The narrator reassures their partner that it is their imagination that is keeping them apart and preventing them from being the person they truly want to be. The lyrics suggest that the partner is constantly overthinking and letting their imagination run wild, causing them to see things that aren't real or misinterpret situations. The narrator acknowledges that the partner has a busy mind, but they emphasize that it wasn't them that the partner saw the previous night, indicating that the partner's imagination is distorting their perception. The narrator expresses their love for their partner and assures them that they are the only one for them. They urge their partner not to let their imagination take control and run away with them, as it can lead to a disconnection from reality.

By addressing their partner's doubts and fears, the narrator encourages open communication and the need to trust in each other rather than allowing imagination to create unnecessary barriers.
