Too Much
ZAYN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking right and the time flies
I took a deal just a while back
Think we fucked in the flashback
Only my mind kinda sidetracked
Found good, but now I feel bad
Like I know I can't take it back
No, there's nothin' I can say
Must be an addiction
I wanted it all, didn't expect it to fall
Must be an affliction
I wanted to call, but I didn't call
Now it's keeping me up night 'n day
Keeping me up night 'n day
Must be an addiction
Now there's nothing I can say but

I guess I want too much (too much)
I just want love and lust
You just can't love me back (yeah)
That's why I need a touch
That's why I need a touch (yeah)
That's why I need a touch
That's why I need a touch (yeah)
That's why I need a touch

I never meant to but I did though
I gotta keep it on the d-low
Then again, what the fuck do I know?
You're always on my mind, so
Found good, but now I feel bad
Like I know I can't take it back
No, there's nothin' I can say

Must be an addiction
I wanted it all, didn't expect it to fall
Must be an affliction
I wanted to call, but I didn't call
Now it's keeping me up night 'n day
Keeping me up night 'n day
Must be an addiction
Now there's nothing I can say but

I guess I want too much (too much)
I just want love and lust
You just can't love me back (yeah)
That's why I need a touch
That's why I need a touch (yeah)
That's why I need a touch
That's why I need a touch (yeah)
That's why I need a touch

When the room becomes a game we play
When lights, they seem to turn to snakes
I guess I'll turn your back
Say white lights, between your face
You know I love my place
Nothing I can say
Nothing I can say (nothing I can say)

I guess I want too much (too much)
I just want love and lust
You just can't love me back (yeah)
That's why I need a touch
That's why I need a touch (yeah)
That's why I need a touch




That's why I need a touch (yeah)
That's why I need a touch

Overall Meaning

In "Too Much," Zayn is reflecting on a past relationship and grappling with his own desires and emotions. He admits to taking a deal in the past and engaging in a sexual encounter that he now regrets. He feels guilty and wishes he could take it back, but knows that there's "nothin' [he] can say." He wonders if his attraction to this person is an addiction or affliction, though he knows he wants love and lust from them. He acknowledges that, ultimately, they can't love him back, which is why physical touch is the only solace he can find.


The chorus of "Too Much" is where Zayn expresses his frustration and desperation for love and touch. He wants more than just physical intimacy, but with his past mistakes, he fears he may not be able to find that genuine connection. The line "When the room becomes a game we play / When lights, they seem to turn to snakes" could be interpreted as Zayn feeling trapped in this cycle of physical attraction, where moments of intimacy are fleeting and ultimately fruitless.


Overall, "Too Much" is a melancholic reflection on the complexities of relationships and unfulfilled desires.
