Too Much
All Time Low Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And being alone is starting to take its toll
I'm cold and it's getting old
I admit I should've made some changes
We were so smothered in love
We didn't have a chance to come up for air
Where did our minds go? I don't know
What's this place? Where did our home go?
We won't know, I don't know
Too much of anything is too much
And too much of love can be too much
We had too much time, too much us
So we fought like tomorrow was promised
Too much, too much, too much, too much
Too much, too much, too much
M-m-much, too much
I admit I'm still watching the days go by
And sleeping alone is starting to break me down
It's cold, but I should've known
I admit I made a few mistakes, babe
We were so caught up in love
We didn't have a chance to come up for air
What a waste, where did the time go?
Where did our minds go? I don't know
What's this place? Where did my heart go?
We'll never know, I'll never know
And too much of anything is too much
And too much of love can be too much
We had too much time, too much us
So we fought like tomorrow was promised
Too much, too much, too much
Too much, too much, too much
Too much, too much, too much
Too much, too much, too much
Too much, too much, too much
M-m-much, too much
I need to find a reason to feel
Like everything was meant to be let go
Take it slow 'cause I can't be on my own
Too much of anything is too much
(It's just too much)
Too much of love can be too much
(It's just too)
We had too much time, too much us
So we fought like tomorrow was promised
Too much, too much, too much
Too much, too much, too much
Too much, too much, too much
Too much, too much, too much
Too much, too much, too much
M-m-much, too much
In the song "Too Much" by All Time Low, the singer is expressing a sense of loneliness and regret after a breakup, realizing that perhaps they were too dependent on their partner and didn't give each other space or time to breathe. The lyrics "We were so smothered in love/We didn't have a chance to come up for air" convey this idea of being suffocated by the intensity of the relationship. The singer laments the passing of time and questions where their love went wrong. Lines like "Where did our minds go? I don't know/Where did my heart go? We'll never know" reflect a sense of confusion and longing for answers.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of excess, that too much of anything - including love - can be detrimental. The phrase "So we fought like tomorrow was promised" suggests that the couple took each other for granted and didn't realize the limited time they had together. The bridge offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer acknowledges the need for letting go and moving on from the past. They acknowledge that they can't be alone forever and need to find a reason to keep going.

@madeleinep.828
It bothers me to see people hating on this song just because it’s different. Can ATL not experiment with new sounds? What everyone else says won’t affect me, I still think this song is amazing.
@FabulousKilljoy
I mean, it’s not bad, but it’s not my absolute favorite. It’ll probably grow on me. But yeah, it definitely doesn’t deserve hate
@kuleguy2010
That's okay. Now you can't see how many people dislike it ^^
