Lyrics

[00:00.005] In my mind, in a future five years from now
[00:06.000] I'm a hundred and twenty pounds
[00:10.500] And I never get hung over
[00:14.355] Because I will be the picture of discipline
[00:20.355] Never minding what state I'm in
[00:24.555] And I will be someone I admire
[00:28.200] And it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now
[00:35.000] But it does not seem to have happened
[00:38.755] Maybe I've just forgotten how to see
[00:45.100] That I'm not exactly the person that I thought I'd be
[00:51.000]
[00:55.555] And in my mind, in the far away here and now
[01:01.899] I've become in control somehow
[01:05.855] And I never lose my wallet
[01:09.333] Because I will be the picture of discipline
[01:15.900] Never fucking up anything
[01:19.333] And I'll be a good defensive driver
[01:23.888] And it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now
[01:30.555] But it does not seem to have happened
[01:33.955] Maybe I've just forgotten how to see
[01:40.900] That I'll never be the person that I thought I'd be
[01:47.500]
[01:51.300] And in my mind when I'm old I am beautiful
[01:58.500] Planting tulips and vegetables
[02:01.800] which I will mindfully watch over
[02:05.555] Not like me now
[02:09.000] I'm so busy with everything
[02:12.555] That I don't look at anything
[02:16.300] But I'm sure I'll look when I am older
[02:20.800] And it's funny how I imagined that I could be that person now
[02:27.000] That that's not what I want but that's what I wanted
[02:30.800] That I'd be giving up somehow how strange to see
[02:37.555] That I don't want to be the person that I want to be
[02:44.000]
[02:48.555] And in my mind, I imagine so many things
[02:55.800] Things that aren't really happening
[02:59.800] And when they put me in the ground
[03:03.555] I'll start pounding the lid
[03:06.555] Saying, "I haven't finished yet"
[03:10.555] I still have a tattoo to get
[03:13.900] It says, "I'm living in the moment"
[03:18.500] And it's funny how I imagined
[03:21.400] That I could win this winless fight
[03:25.000] Maybe it isn't all that funny
[03:28.500] That I've been fighting all my life
[03:31.855] But maybe I have to think it's funny
[03:35.100] If I want to live before I die
[03:39.000] And maybe it's funniest of all
[03:42.200] To think I'll die before I actually see
[03:49.000] That I am exactly the person that I want to be
[03:56.000]
[04:00.000] Fuck yes
[04:03.855] I am exactly the person that I want to be
