I dunno, I find that one particularly poignant. Probably because I relate so much to the middle age theme of the record when Bloodflowers came out and how terrified Robert has stated he is of aging. Just so moving, that long intro and the lyrics.
God, and this one even tops that, and was never officially released! “That’s the story of my life...” -
I don't think I ever know
If I ever really want it
Could be why I'm never sure
If I ever really got it
And I guess it's maybe easier
Not to think too much about it...
A house, a car, a family and friends...
Yeah, all it means to justify the ends
But sometimes... I wonder...
In the back of my mind
Sometimes... I wonder...
If I'm wasting all my time
Sometimes... I wonder...
If I'm putting off my real life...
What I could've done,
Where I could've been
When I should've gone,
Why I should've seen
Who I would've loved,
How I would've dreamed
And if it's always, always too late...
I don't think I ever know
That I ever really need it
Could be why I'm never sure
That I ever really feel it
And I think it's maybe easier
To guess I really mean it...
A house! A car! A family and friends!
Yeah, all it means to justify the ends
But sometimes... I wonder...
A girl! A smile! A holiday and sex!
Yeah all it takes
To make sense of the rest
But sometimes... I wonder...
In the back of my mind
Sometimes... I wonder...
If I'm killing all my time
Sometimes... I wonder...
If I'm giving up my real life...
What I could've done,
Where I could've been
When I should've gone,
Why I should've seen
Who I would've loved,
How I would've dreamed
And if it's always, always too late...
And every day that I let slide
Is one day more I never try
To break the world
To make my fate
And with every day that I let go
It's one day less I ever know
If it's always
Always too late...
