Too Much
Sofia Loell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need for you to open up, you need to let me in
That is what I'm waiting for, that is all I want
But I need to hold my horses, I need to slow down
I wish for you to hold my hand, I wish for you to care
I wish for you to be my man to always be there
That is what I'm hoping for, that is all I want
Cause I want too much - too fast (x3)
But I need to hold my horses, I need to slow down
I want you to feel that I'm here inside
Want you to now that your world is mine
But if you think I move too fast
I'll wait for you - I'll slow it down
Oh I'd like to be the reason for you to carry on
I'd like to be your good times and I'd like to be the one
That is what I'm hoping for, that is all I want
But I need to hold my horses, I need to slow down

The singer thinks that if this person just opens up and lets them in, everything they hope for and want will come true.

They hope to be the reason for this person to carry on, to be their good times, and to be the one for them. Despite these strong feelings, the singer realizes that they must moderate their approach.
Thematically, the song is about understanding oneself and one's own shortcomings. Although the singer has a strong desire to be close to this person, they recognize that they may be moving too fast and might need to ease up a bit. It explores the idea of pacing and control in a romantic situation. The singer's fear of being too much for someone is a relatable sentiment that many people feel when they are vulnerable in romantic situations. The chorus also reinforces this theme, as the singer repeats the phrase "I want too much - too fast" to emphasize their own tendencies.
