Someone Else in Mind Lyrics

I wanna be the better man by far
But the air is thin up here
On the higher ground
Above the clouds
You are my fall
And I am your own religion
And I don't know why but I hate you, I hate you
I don't know how but you keep me staring at your fingers
Fighting with my mind, but you got someone else in mind

And oh my god, I can't believe it's true
I leave it up, I leave it up to you

And I've got, oh I've got so much time
And I've got, oh I've got so much time
But you've got someone else in mind
And oh my god, I can't believe it's true
I leave it up, oh I leave it up to you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Hey guys not sure if these are the right lyrics but I just tried to figure them out cause I am impatient and was too lazy to wait for someone to post them, please let me know if you have any corrections, I am especially unsure on the 'I am your own religion' line. Just message me as I don't think I get notified if you post the corrections here.

Btw, I absolutely fucking love Washington. I can't wait to see her at Splendour! She has a splendid voice, and usually I can't listen to songs that are this pace, but for Washington, I can most certainly make an exception. I think this song is really about wanting to be with someone, I'm not sure in a friendship or relationship way, and that you have all this spare time to spend time with this said person but they have someone else in mind. And you are struggling to believe that they do actually want to spend time with someone else (I can't believe it's true) so you decide instead of pushing it, you're going to just leave it up to them! I bet this person is musically gifted (Haha I made this up from the staring at your fingers part) and I guess you are really obsessed with them (You are my fall). In the end you still want to be chosen, obviously (I want to be the better man by far).

Love to see other interpretations :)
