In Between Days
The Cure/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I felt like I could die,
Yesterday I got so old,
It made me want to cry
Go on, go on,
Just walk away
Go on, go on,
Go on, go on,
And disappear
Go on, go on,
Away from here
And I know I was wrong,
When I said it was true,
That it couldn't be me,
And be her in between,
Without you,
Without you
Yesterday I got so scared,
I shivered like a child,
Yesterday away from you,
It froze me deep inside,
Come back, come back,
Don't walk away,
Come back, come back,
Come back today,
Come back, come back,
Why can't you see
Come back, come back,
Come back to me,
And I know I was wrong,
When I said it was true,
That it couldn't be me,
And be her in between,
Without you,
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
Without you
The lyrics of "In Between Days" by The Cure seem to be describing a sense of loss and confusion. The singer is grappling with getting older, feeling scared, and feeling like they are in limbo between two people. The repetition of the phrase "go on, go on" adds a sense of urgency and desperation to the lyrics, as if the singer is begging someone to make a choice and take action, even if it means walking away.
The chorus of the song, with its repeated refrain of "yesterday I got so old, it made me want to cry," captures a feeling of mortality and the realization of the passage of time. The reference to being "in between" also suggests a sense of uncertainty and indecision, as if the singer is unable to fully commit to anything or anyone.
Overall, the lyrics of "In Between Days" are reflective and melancholy, with a sense of longing for something that may not be fully attainable.

Thanks a lot Daniel ! So happy to watch this video ! Now I'm gonna learn this strumming pattern.
In your pdf, you write you use these 4 chords :
1 X X 2 0
2 2 3 2 2
3 2 2 2 2
4 2 2 0 0
5 0 0 X X
6 X X X X
But When I hear you (Not easy to see your left fingers), I'm not sure, but I think you play only 3 chords ? Am I wrong ?
