The Cure - Cut Here

I hate it when people put song lyrics in their blogs, but this song has been going through my head alot lately. I can analyze it later if you like. I doubt anyone will care though.

So we meet again!" and I offer my hand
All dry and English slow
And you look at me and I understand
Yeah it's a look I used to know
"Three long years... and your favourite man...
Is that any way to say hello?"
And you hold me... like you'll never let me go

"Oh c'mon and have a drink with me
Sit down and talk a while..."
"Oh I wish I could... and I will!
But now I just don't have the time..."
And over my shoulder as I walk away
I see you give that look goodbye...
I still see that look in your eye...

So dizzy Mr. Busy - Too much rush to talk to Billy
All the silly frilly things have to first get done
In a minute - sometime soon - maybe next time - make it June
Until later... doesn't always come

It's so hard to think "It ends sometime
And this could be the last
I should really hear you sing again
And I should really watch you dance"
Because it's hard to think
"I'll never get another chance
To hold you... to hold you... "

But chilly Mr. Dilly - Too much rush to talk to Billy
All the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done
In a second - just hang on - all in good time - wont be long
Until later...

I should've stopped to think - I should've made the time
I could've had that drink - I could've talked a while
I would've done it right - I would've moved us on
But I didn't - now it's all too late
It's over... over
And you're gone..

I miss you I miss you I miss you
I miss you I miss you I miss you so much

But how many times can I walk away and wish "If only..."
But how many times can I talk this way and wish "If only..."
Keep on making the same mistake
Keep on aching the same heartbreak
I wish "If only..."

But "If only...."
Is a wish too late...


Kinda makes me think about my mortality and what I should be doing as opposed to what I am doing. Basically back to the question of how do you make the most of your time here on Earth.

That's such a sad song! After reading the lyrics I had to download it...but of course it was the Cure, so I already knew what it would sound like.

I often think about my relationships with people and what could've/should've been. I'm such an overanalyzer. I would definately be interested in your interpretation of the song. (that may be kind of hard to type, so I'm not insisting that you put it here.) I think that there is much more to be said about it, and I always find the method by which you explain things intriguing.

It's weird. No matter how prepared I think I am for goodbye's, they only seem to get more difficult.

Anyway, thanks for posting the song. It was probably the most interesting part of my day, hehe.
