I Don't Mind
Harris Jesse Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't mind waitin'
Here, uncertain
Watchin' while the
Town keeps burnin'
Oh

Used to runnin'
Round in circles

Losin' wind and
Jumpin' hurdles
Oh

So I don't mind
I don't mind
I, I don't mind waitin' now

Gazed at pictures
Of the sunset
Where I'd been and
Hadn't been yet
Oh

So I don't mind
I don't mind
I, I don't mind waitin' now
I don't mind

I don't mind
I, I don't mind waitin' now

Of beautiful sunsets

These were either places I had visited or had not, yet
