The Cure - Spilt Milk

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...
