In My Mind Songtext
von Amanda Palmer

In my mind, in a future five years from now
I′m a hundred and twenty pounds
And I never get hung over, because I
Will be the picture of discipline
Never minding what state I'm in
And I will be someone I admire

And it′s funny how I imagined
That I would be that person now
But it does not seem to have happened
Maybe I've just forgotten how to see
That I'm not exactly the person that I thought I′d be

And in my mind, in the faraway here and now
I′ve become in control somehow
And I never lose my wallet, because I
Will be the picture of discipline
Never fucking up anything
And I'll be a good defensive driver


And it′s funny how I imagined
That I would be that person now
But it does not seem to have happened
Maybe I've just forgotten how to see
That I′ll never be the person that I thought I'd be

And in my mind, when I′m old I am beautiful
Planting tulips and vegetables
Which I will mindfully watch over, not like me now
I'm so busy with everything
That I don't look at anything
But I′m sure I′ll look when I am older

And it's funny how I imagined that I could be that person now
But that′s not what I want, but that's what I wanted
And I′d be giving up somehow, how strange to see
That I don't wanna be the person that I want to be

And in my mind
I imagine so many things
Things that aren′t really happening
And when they put me in the ground, I'll start
Pounding the lid
Saying I haven't finished yet
I still have a tattoo to get
That says I′m living in the moment


And it′s funny how I imagined that I could win this, win this fight
But maybe it isn't all that funny
That I′ve been fighting all my life
But maybe I have to think it's funny
If I wanna live before I die
And maybe it′s funniest of all
To think I'll die before I actually see
That I am exactly the person that I′d want to be

Fuck yes
I am exactly the person that I want to be
