In the Meantime Songtext
von Bettye LaVette feat. John Mayer

There′s a great big ol' whole in this world of mine
And I′m doin' my best to fill it
But I just can't seem to drink enough of that champagne wine
To carry me through in the meantime

I′m dreamin′ dreams of my used-to-be
Tellin' everybody I′ll be just fine
One day, I know it's all comin′ back to me
Welcome to my life in the meantime

There's a face in the mirror that I swear was mine
But lately, I hardly know it
Love, hope, and faith used to light up these eyes of mine
But there have been too many drinks and tears in the meantime


I′m dreamin' dreams of my used-to-be
I'm tellin′ everybody I′m gonna be just fine
One day, I know, I know it's all comin′ back to me
Oh, but welcome to my life in the meantime

I'm dreamin′ dreams of my used-to-be, yeah
Tellin' everybody I′m gonna be just fine
One day, I know, I know it's all comin' back to me
Oh, welcome to my life in the meantime

I′m dreamin′, I'm dreamin′ dreams about my used-to-be
I'm tellin′ everybody I'm gonna be just fine
One day, I know, one day, I know it′s comin' back to me
Welcome to my life, welcome to my life in the meantime

In the meantime
Welcome to my life in the meantime
In the meantime

I'm dreamin′ dreams, dreamin′ dreams about my used-to-be
Welcome to my life in the meantime
