In My Mind
Ryan Keen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We should get lost somewhere in the sun, reminiscing of green fields from when I was young
We could go there, I'll be all that you need, let my words give you comfort, and my love sets you free
I'm getting tired of the pouring rain darling, I need to leave the bitter taste of fear behind
But you're just out of sight and I could never change that
The truth is, you're only with me in my mind
And there'd be no boundaries to hold us apart
We sculpture the future and draw string from the past
And we could go there, we find all that we need, watch as the sun rises and feel totally free
I'm getting tired of the pouring rain darling, I need to leave the bitter taste of fear behind
But you're just out of sight and I could never change that
The truth is, you're only with me in my mind
I'm getting tired of the pouring rain darling, I need to leave the bitter taste of fear behind




But you're just out of sight and I could never change that
The truth is, you're only with me in my mind
