Lyrics
Intro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Yeah
Chorus
Mandela in my mind
Two versions of the same day
Mandela in my mind
I swear I saw it one way
Mandela in my mind
Now the whole room says I'm wrong
Mandela in my mind
Been rewriting where I belong
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Verse 1
Woke up certain that the world was one shape
Checked the news and it was something else
Everybody swears the map was always that way
Maybe I'm the only one who felt the shift
I don't trust my memory no more
Every photo looks a little off
Little off
Pre-Chorus
And I keep asking
Did it happen
Did it happen at all
Chorus
Mandela in my mind
Two versions of the same day
Mandela in my mind
I swear I saw it one way
Mandela in my mind
Now the whole room says I'm wrong
Mandela in my mind
Been rewriting where I belong
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Verse 2
My friend told me I was there that summer
But I was three thousand miles away
I trust the feeling more than any number
The feeling doesn't lie the way the dates do
So I hold the version that I keep
Even if it's only mine to keep
Only mine
Pre-Chorus
And I keep asking
Did it happen
Did it happen at all
Chorus
Mandela in my mind
Two versions of the same day
Mandela in my mind
I swear I saw it one way
Mandela in my mind
Now the whole room says I'm wrong
Mandela in my mind
Been rewriting where I belong
Bridge
I don't want the proof
I just want the truth
The one I grew up in
The one I grew up in
Chorus
Mandela in my mind
Two versions of the same day
Mandela in my mind
I swear I saw it one way
Mandela in my mind
Now the whole room says I'm wrong
Mandela in my mind
Been rewriting where I belong
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Mm-hmm
