cut here lyrics
"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 favorite man
Is that any way to say hello?"
And you hold me like you'll never let me go
"Oh c'mon and 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, won't 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 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
thank you for the legend mr. smith..

This song brings my Mum and I to tears. My Dad absolutely loved The Cure and was always dressed identical to Robert Smith (Make up and all), and he sadly passed away when I was 9 months old. My Mum never got a proper chance to say goodbye, and my brother and I never got a proper life with him at all.
Just sitting here now listening to this has me in tears again, while I look at a photo of him holding me when I was a baby, not long before he was gone.... A lot of The Cure songs hit me right in the feels, but this one takes the cake.
"Until later, doesn't always come"....
Rip Dad, love and miss you always xoxo

The Cure isn't a band it's a feeling! This song has a really sad backstory. You can tell their sound still influences so many modern indie artists, my friend is one of them, The Cure were the sound track to our high school days, every song is a timeless classic to us, while I'm here I wanna throw my friend some love for all the good times, he's a music producer now and makes great indie tunes on his laptop, try searching Lonely Gimmick - Roll Me Over, you may be in for a surprise

Whenever i listen to this song it reminds me of my grandad who died back in august, i had hardly seen him since i was a toddler and a few weeks or so before his passing we were planning on going over my grandparents house but i tried not to go because i didn't want to go due to fearing my granddad would look through my laptop and put safety features on it as my mum was planning on getting that done for me and he was very good with tech stuff, i regret not going there, i had hardly ever formed a relationship with him and barely even talked to him or spoken to him since i was a toddler, the last time i seen him was in 2022 i believe, and we only did a quick handshake and i tried to avoid him the whole time, i regret it dearly, i have heard so many nice things about him since his passing as i do not remember what he was like when i visited him as a toddler, but i have a picture of me sitting on his lap that i have kept, which is very precious to me.. I wish i could go back in time and visit him before it was too late, i am so sorry granddad i hope you can forgive me.

The sad happiness (or the happy sadness) is what The Cure are about!!! It's their "trademark", that's why we all love them, don't we? We all need some nostalgia, melancholy, sadness or "depression" but at the same time we all need joy, happiness, laughter and smile!! Just the way life is!!! Full of different (but at the same time) similar emotions and feelings!!! I love you Cure, you are REAL ARTISTS!!! You do what you do all these years because you trully believe in music!!! KEEP THIS UP!!!

Out of The Cure's whole anthology this song hits the hardest. And that's saying a lot.
I became a fan when I was about 16, but now in my mid 30's after some actual real life experience (and not just trivial teen problems) the lyrics are about 100 times more impactful. This song in particular hits me so hard that I can only bring myself to listen to it about once a year now

This song was wrote by Robert in dedication to his friend Billy Mackenzie who he seen back stage after a Cure concert. Sadly Robert didn't have the time to chat & have a drink with his old friend, it would be the last time he would see him as 3 weeks later Billy Mackenzie would commit suicide. Billy Mackenzie was the lead singer of The Associates and was an amazing talent with an amazing voice, this song was Robert's tribute to his old friend. R.I.P Billy Mackenzie your talent and voice will always be missed.
