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 far away 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

That that's not what I want but that's what I wanted

That I'd be giving up somehow how strange to see

That I don't want to 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, it says, I'm living in the moment


And it's funny how I imagined

That I could win this win less fight

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 want to 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 want to be


Fuck yes

I am exactly the person that I want to be
