I think too much of all that's gone
Of how it was before my thoughts
Obsessed with choices made for sure
In ignorance of history
And consequence as more and more
I misremember hopelessly
The way love turned out every time
Was never quite enough
I lose all my life like this
Reflecting time and memories
And all for fear of what I'll find
If I just stop, and empty out my mind
Of all the ghosts, and all the dreams
All I hold to in belief
That all I ever am
Is somehow never quite all I am now (now...)
I think too much of all to come
Of how it will be after I give up
My weary dance with age
And resignation moves me slow
Toward a dark and empty stage
Where I can sing the world I know
The way love turns out every time
Will never be enough
I waste all my world like this
Intending time and memories
And all for fear of what I'll find
If I just stop, and empty out my mind
Of all the ghosts, and all the dreams
All I hold to in belief
That all I ever am
Is somehow never quite all I am now (now...)
And all for fear of what I'll find
If I just stop
Of how it was before my thoughts
Obsessed with choices made for sure
In ignorance of history
And consequence as more and more
I misremember hopelessly
The way love turned out every time
Was never quite enough
I lose all my life like this
Reflecting time and memories
And all for fear of what I'll find
If I just stop, and empty out my mind
Of all the ghosts, and all the dreams
All I hold to in belief
That all I ever am
Is somehow never quite all I am now (now...)
I think too much of all to come
Of how it will be after I give up
My weary dance with age
And resignation moves me slow
Toward a dark and empty stage
Where I can sing the world I know
The way love turns out every time
Will never be enough
I waste all my world like this
Intending time and memories
And all for fear of what I'll find
If I just stop, and empty out my mind
Of all the ghosts, and all the dreams
All I hold to in belief
That all I ever am
Is somehow never quite all I am now (now...)
And all for fear of what I'll find
If I just stop

A great return to their best sounding period. Thanks Bill.
Please, please stop playing this utter shite
Really appreciate you playing so many cuts off this new record despite your valid criticism of the subject matter. For a lifelong Cure fan, it really makes my day.
This autumn has been great and nostalgic for us Gen X'rs with Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! and now a new album from The Cure.
Thank you Robert! You made my day today!!!
