paroles de chanson In My Mind - 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
