Too Fast

Backstory

The pattern of going all-in too fast or holding back completely. No middle ground.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm zero or a hundred, no in-between
Either I'm all yours or I'm nowhere to be seen
First date talking like I've known you for years
Or three months in still dodging tears
I scare them with the speed or I bore them with the wall
Either way I'm the reason that it falls

[Chorus]
Too fast, too fast
I burn through every good thing that I grab
Too fast, too fast
Or so slow they think I never cared at all
There's no middle ground when you're afraid to land

[Verse 2]
She said slow down, I said this is how I'm wired
She left, I said see — I knew she'd get tired
Then the next one I held at arm's length for months
She left too — said I gave her nothing once
Pattern on repeat like a scratched record spinning
Losing every race that I keep winning

[Bridge]
Somewhere between the sprint and the freeze
There's a version of love I've never tried
The kind that breathes

[Outro]
Too fast... or not fast enough
I never learned the speed of love
