Too Much
Leeland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All these faces I have seen
Too much, too much
All these bricks and all these stones
Have all been cast they've all been thrown
Too hard, too hard
Find me in the background looking down
You'll never see my face
I'm looking down
I need a place a sanctuary
A refuge for my ordinary
Finally familiar peaceful home
Untroubled safe from all this madness
Refuge for my hope and sadness
Possible to find myself alone
At home
All these cliffs and all these heights
They've just been too high to climb
Too high, too high
All these waves and all these seas
Have all been crashing down on me
Too much, too much
I've found my home again
I finally find myself in You
I finally find myself in You
I feel safe again
You're the one I'm running to
You're the one I'm running to

All these places I have been
I have traveled far and wide
All these faces I have seen
I have met many people
Too much, too much
But it's all been too much for me
All these bricks and all these stones
I've faced many obstacles
Have all been cast they've all been thrown
And it seems like they were intentionally placed there to trip me up
Too hard, too hard
It's been too difficult for me to overcome them
Find me in the background looking down
I'm trying to hide away from everything
You'll never see my face
I don't want anyone to find me
I'm looking down
I'm avoiding eye contact and trying to keep to myself
I need a place a sanctuary
I'm looking for a safe place
A refuge for my ordinary
Where I can just be myself
Finally familiar peaceful home
A comforting and calming environment
Untroubled safe from all this madness
Where I can escape from all the troubles around me
Refuge for my hope and sadness
A place where I can feel both hope and sadness and process my emotions
Possible to find myself alone
Where I can reflect and find my own way
At home
This place is my home
All these cliffs and all these heights
I've tried to climb many mountains
They've just been too high to climb
But they seem too difficult to overcome
Too high, too high
They're just too high for me
All these waves and all these seas
I've been hit by many obstacles and difficulties
Have all been crashing down on me
And they all feel like they're constantly causing me harm
Too much, too much
It's just too much for me to handle
I've found my home again
But now, I've finally found my safe place once again
I finally find myself in You
I've found my peace in my faith
I feel safe again
I feel comforted and safe
You're the one I'm running to
My faith is what I can rely on
You're the one I'm running to
In times of trouble, I know that my faith is where I can find solace and safety.
