In My Mind
Alok & John Legend Lyrics

Somewhere deep inside of me
There's a part of me that no one else can see or understand.

There's a world only I see, only I see
This inner part of me is like a private world that I can only access on my own.

Oh, I try to face reality
I make an effort to stay grounded in the real world.

But something is missing, something is missing
Despite this effort, there's still something important and valuable that I can't find in the real world.

When I close my eyes, I get lost inside
By turning inward, I can access that private world that's only mine.

I will find you, swear I will find you
In this private world, I can find the missing thing or person that's been eluding me in reality.

There's a dark blue sky but I close my eyes
Even though the real world may be beautiful, I don't need it when I have access to my inner world.

I just know I wanna be with you
The missing thing or person is someone I deeply desire and long to be with.

I wanna be free
Being with this person would bring me a sense of freedom and liberation.

Mind
The chorus emphasizes how much this person is always in the artist's mind.

No distance between us, nothing to break us
In the private world, there's no external forces that could separate the singer from the person they desire.

Oh, going past infinity on our little island
The artist and the person they desire are completely removed from reality and even time itself.

I just know I wanna be with you
The chorus repeats to drive home the singer's intense desire to be with this person.
