Too Close
Rainsford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two years and still uninspired
Am I awake
You say your feeling tired
I don't wanna fight it
If there's a flame we could put a light in
I don't wanna let you in
I think its time that
We let go
Before I break your heart again
He's against my rules
Or anything that could've happened
Cuz baby we were getting too close
I don't wanna let you in
We're getting too close
I've watched you make all the plans
My ideas just make you mad
Didn't expect you to just wash my hand
I don't wanna fight it
If there's a flame we could put a light in
We're getting too close
I don't wanna let you in
I think it's time that
We let go
Before I break your heart again
He's against my rules
Everything could've happened
Cuz baby we were getting too close
I don't wanna let you in
We're getting too close
Where do we go
Where do we go from here
Where do we go
Where do we go from here
We're getting too close
I don't wanna let you in
We're getting too close
I don't wanna let you in
I think it's time that we let go
Before I break your heart again
Guess he was against my rules
Everything could've happened
We're getting too close
I don't wanna let you in
We're getting too close
I don't wanna let you in
I think it's time that we let go
Before I break your heart again
Cuz baby we were getting too close
I don't wanna let you in
We're getting too close
Where do we go
Where do we go from here
Where do we go
Where do we go from here
The lyrics to Rainsford's song Too Close speaks of the limitations of a relationship. The song starts as a question - "Am I just wasting my time? Two years and still uninspired" - which reflects the singer's doubts about the longevity of the relationship they're in. Though they want to make it work, they're unsure if the other party is ready for it, stating "You say you're feeling tired, I don't wanna fight it." The song progresses to the realization that they were "getting too close", that the situation might be getting out of hand, and some limits need to be established. The lyrics reflect on the singer's hesitancy to invest more time in the relationship because they know it won't work out eventually. The line "I think it's time that we let go, before I break your heart again" reveals that the singer may have broken the other parties' heart already and has learned from their mistakes. Though they loved spending time together and have made plans, the singer realizes that there's a limit to what they can have, and it's best to let go.
Overall, the song Too Close reflects the difficulties of letting go, even though one knows the relationship has no future. The singer has tried and hopes for a better outcome, but as the song ends, they realize it's better to move on than continue to hold on to something that is bound to fail.
