New Person, Same Old Mistakes - Tame Impala

I can just hear them now

"How could you let us down?"

But they don't know what I found

Or see it from this way 'round

Feeling it overtake

All that I used to hate

One by one, every trait

I tried, but it's way too late

All the signs I don't read

Two sides of me can't agree

Will I be in too deep?

Going with what I always longed for

Feel like a brand-new person

But you'll make the same old mistakes

Well, I don't care, I'm in love

Stop before it's too late

I know…

Feel like a brand-new person

But you'll make the same old mistakes

I finally know what it's like

(You don't have what it takes)

Stop before it's too late

I know there's too much at stake

Making the same mistakes

And I still don't know why it's happening

Stop while it's not too late

And I still don't know…

Finally taking flight

I know you don't think it's right

I know that you think it's fake

Maybe fake's what I like

The point is, I have the right

Not thinkin' in black and white

Thinkin' it's worth the fight

Soon I'll be out of sight

Knowing it all this time

Going with what I always longed for

Feel like a brand-new person

But you'll make the same old mistakes

Well, I don't care, I'm in love

Stop before it's too late

Feel like a brand-new person

But you'll make the same old mistakes

So how do I know I've gone too far?

(You don't have what it takes)

Stop before it's too late

Man, I know that it's hard to digest

But maybe your story ain't so different from the rest

And I know it seems wrong to accept

But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets

Man, I know that it's hard to digest

A realization is as good as a guess

And I know it seems wrong to accept

But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets

But you've got your demons, and she's got her regrets

Feel like a brand-new person

So, how will I know that it's right?

In a new direction

So, how will I know I've gone too far?

Stop thinking that the only option was…

Feel like a brand-new person

I finally know what it's like

Stop thinking that the only option was…

In a new direction

So how will I know I've gone too far?

Stop thinking that the only option was…

And I know it's hard to describe

Stop thinking that the only option was…

So how will I know that it's right?
