In My Mind Lyrics - Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under - Amanda Palmer

In a future five years from now 

I'm one 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 am 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 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 

Photos 

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 want to be 

Fuck yes 

I am exactly the person that I want to be
