Phoenix – Too Young Lyrics 17 years ago
I think its about a guy dating this girl. I think he rushed into the relationship too quickly, not really getting to know her and not with the right motives.

Perhaps he was just dating just because he wanted someone in his life and no other reason. Or perhaps he was trying to fill a void or escape something that he had to take care of. I think he was burned out from something; work, school, etc.

"But when this feeling calls this world becomes another
Nighttime won't hold me in your arms again"

One day, maybe months later, he snaps back to reality realizing that she and him are not compatible. He doesn't quite know how to tell her, but he's thinking about things while he's out having fun one night with friends. He realizes what he needs to do in his life now, he needs to get back to the things that matter and he realizes that she is not compatible with that.

"Can't you hear me calling oh yeah
Everybody's dancing
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young"

He looks into himself and realizes he's too young to really find someone. He's still growing as a person with his future uncertain.

"Oh rainfalls and hard times coming they won't leave me tonight
I wish I knew what I was doing
Just do let this spirit survive"

Regarding his future: he knows theres going to be good and bad times. He knows when he was in his mindset during his burnout, it wasn't very rational. But even so, he knows that other side is part of him. He wants to balance his rational side with the romantic side. Romantic not in the sense of love, but the emotional and genuine aspects of his inner-self.
