A Little Too Early
Arti Tisi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look into my eyes and tease me
What am i supposed to do
I should try and run just as far as i can get from you
Your love feels so very easy
Nothin' i can say to you
I better turn away before you melt me right through
'Cause i born just to little too early
You came along just to little too late
If we hang around just a little bit longer




Somebody's heart is gonna break
It's gonna break

Overall Meaning

In Arti Tisi's song "A Little Too Early," the lyrics speak to a complicated romantic relationship where the timing is all wrong. The opening line, "Look into my eyes and tease me," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is feeling a mix of attraction and apprehension towards their lover's advances. It's clear that they know the relationship is not meant to be, with lyrics like "I should try and run just as far as I can get from you" and "better turn away before you melt me right through."


However, despite their reservations, the singer acknowledges that their lover's love feels easy and irresistible. They sing, "Your love feels so very easy / Nothin' I can say to you." The singer is conflicted between their desire for the person and the knowledge that the timing is off. They know that if they continue the relationship, someone's heart is bound to break eventually.


The chorus, "Cause I was born just a little too early / You came along just a little too late / If we hang around just a little bit longer / Somebody's heart is gonna break / It's gonna break," sums up the sentiment of the song perfectly. This relationship is not meant to be, no matter how strong the attraction may seem. There's a tragic inevitability to the lyrics that makes them all the more heartbreaking.
