Cowritten with fellow English performer Bruno Major, the elegant “Read My Mind” narrates Lianne’s magical moments of falling in love with someone.
The song features as the second track of La Havas' third studio album, though she has been performing it live since late 2018.
[Verse 1]
So right, I could make a baby tonight
Throw my life away, oh
I'll die another day
Feels like I've got nothing to hide
It's serendipity, I noticed you noticed me
Those eyes, caught by surprise
If I look again, oh, what's gonna happen then?
[Pre-Chorus]
Sweet joy when a girl meets a boy
Happened naturally, mm, better believe, mm
Could you possibly be any closer to me, boy?
Not a thing you can do 'cause I'm comin' for you
[Chorus]
Yes, it's time (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
Read my mind (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
Seek and you will find (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
Oh my, it's love, nothing more (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
What you waiting for? (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
Oh, no, it's time, mm
[Verse 2]
Oh, no, you're everywhere that I go
In my head again, oh, stuck in my head again
Full force, nature taking her course
No need for hide-and-seek
I'll let you find me
Lovin' light, personified
I'm so into him, oh
Oh, I hope God is listening
[Pre-Chorus]
The pure joy when a girl meets a boy
Natural chemistry, oh, better believe
Could you possibly be any closer to me, boy?
Not a thing you can do 'cause I'm comin' for you
[Chorus]
Yes, it's time (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
Read my mind (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
Seek and you will find (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
Oh my, it's love, nothing more (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
What you waiting for? (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
I'm yours, oh, boy (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
Read my mind (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
Seek and you will find (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
Oh my, it's love, nothing more (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
What you waiting for? (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
(What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
Mm-mm (What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
[Outro]
Could you possibly be any closer to me, boy?
Not a thing you can do 'cause I'm comin' for you, boy
(What you waiting, what you waiting for? What you waiting for?)
(What you waiting, what you waiting for? What you waiting for?)
(What you waiting, what you waiting for?)
Could you possibly be any closer to me, boy?
Not a thing you can do, I'm comin' for you, boy

When I made this song, it made me feel slightly intoxicated. I wanted it to be reminiscent of that – like a night out where you meet someone and there’s this hazy, wondrous excited feeling that you can’t quite describe. I worked with Bruno Major on this. He’s just the most amazing guitarist, and whe...
“Could you possibly be any closer to me?” It’s that feeling of unapologetic flirtation. I felt free. I was single. It was summer. Does it still make me feel giddy? Yes, it does. Even though that relationship has been and gone.
