New Person, Same Old Mistakes

Tame Impala

Lyrics of New Person, Same Old Mistakes by 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 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?
