In My Mind
John Legend Lyrics

Somewhere deep inside of me
There's a place within me that only I can access

There's a world only I see, only I see
This place is a unique and personal vision

Oh, I try to face reality
I attempt to engage with the outside world

But something is missing, something is missing
But it always feels like something important is absent

When I close my eyes, I get lost inside
By shutting out the physical world, I can access my personal vision

I will find you, swear I will find you
I'm searching for someone important

There's a dark blue sky but I close my eyes
Even the outside world can't interfere with my personal vision

I just know I wanna be with you
There's an intense desire to be close to someone

I wanna be free
This closeness shouldn't come with any limitations or obstacles

So if I close my eyes
If I retreat into my own world...

I got you in my mind
...I can be with this person in a way that can't be experienced in the physical world

No distance between us, nothing to break us
In this personal vision, nothing can separate this important person from me

Oh, going past infinity on our little island
In this vision, the connection is so profound that it's limitless and existing in its own world

That's where we're hiding
This special vision is a secret place where this important person and I exist

Mind
A repetition of the chorus, emphasizing that this personal vision is the most intimate and significant part of the singer's reality.

I got you in my mind
A repetition of the chorus, emphasizing that this personal vision is the most intimate and significant part of the artist's reality.
