In My Mind

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
