about

Too Much Too Soon describes the fear of hurting someone else by protecting yourself, having no choice but to do so. It's about being unable to let go of the past, and therefore being unable to commit to the present.

Musically there's a strong contrast between the aggression in the verses and instrumental parts and the melancholy in the choruses, underlining a sense of both frustration and desperation.

lyrics

It’s too much, too soon
No other reason
It seems like yesterday

And my mind is made up
Of picture postcards of changing seasons

Please read the signs
I can’t say no
I wouldn’t dare

Please grab your coat
Say take me home
I’ll bring you there

I don’t mean no harm
Please believe me

But my heart is filled up
With excess rain of years gone by
And leaves that block the drain

My love, I can’t say no
I wouldn’t dare
Please read the signs
And grab your coat
I’ll take you home
And I’ll kiss you goodnight

It’s too much, too soon
