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 thinking in black and white
Thinking 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 if it's right? (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?

sorry. I guess I'm old fashioned, or just old, but I almost always prefer people playing musical instruments, rather than the instruments and production tools playing them
Nothing too deep in the lyrics, but enough of a difference from other songs I've heard by Tame Impala that I think I'll grow to like it more than I just did on first listen. A solid 7, with potential to go higher.
(I think my wife probably graded me the same way after our first date.)

Not sure how I feel about this. I do think the cover designer made a mistake with the rendering of the pinball - ball bearing thing. Ruins it for me.

I'm always surprised to hear how much alike Kevin Parker and Thomas Mars sound. Fortunately, I love them them both!

Yes, the cover is the best part of this album! The music is the worst part.
