Too Far Gone Lyrics
I should warn you
Things you're feeling
Aren't normal now
Think you need me
It's not easy
Let you go some how
Now we're too far gone
Hope is such a waste
Every breath you take
You give me the burden's bitter taste
You promised that you'd stay
You say you wanna go
Your lips provide a shelter
For the things that I don't know
Please speak slowly
My heart is learning
Teach me heartache
Stop this burning now
Wishful thinking, patience shrinking
Bliss is far away
(Far away, far away)
North is calling
Now I'm falling at your feet
Please stay
Now we're too far gone
Hope is such a waste
Every breath you take
You give me the burden's bitter taste
You promised that you'd stay
You say you wanna go
Your lips provide a shelter
For the things that I don't know
Please speak slowly
My heart is learning
Teach me heartache
Stop this burning now (x4)
Things you're feeling
Aren't normal now
Think you need me
It's not easy
Let you go some how
Hope is such a waste
Every breath you take
You give me the burden's bitter taste
You promised that you'd stay
You say you wanna go
Your lips provide a shelter
For the things that I don't know
My heart is learning
Teach me heartache
Stop this burning now
Bliss is far away
(Far away, far away)
North is calling
Now I'm falling at your feet
Please stay
Hope is such a waste
Every breath you take
You give me the burden's bitter taste
You promised that you'd stay
You say you wanna go
Your lips provide a shelter
For the things that I don't know
My heart is learning
Teach me heartache
Stop this burning now (x4)

u cant get better then this song....
the lyrics here aren't very correct, but I still love the song... What makes good lyrics? Something that people can relate to & I can totally relate to these. I know I have no right to expect him to stay, but I hope for it anyway, even if it IS in vain...
this song totally describes something that i am going through at the moment, that is why i love AAR. they know just how to capture emotions just right:)
yall are crazy if you dont like this song! its awsome, and i can feel it when it plays.
i love the break part
the lead singer's eyes are so pretty
awesome song..the lyrics aren't all correct tho....
i agree with lilpunkergurlD. u can feel it when the song plays.
This is such a cute song. I'm never good at saying what these songs mean... I just think that its a really cute/good song!
"you promised that you'd stay." bullshit line everyone gets fed..i'll never leave you. ha.
"please speak slowly, my heart is learnig. teach me heartache, stop this burning now." good line. not sure exactly what it means, but i like it.

All American Rejects is an incredible band. They're one of my faves. But could some one please clear up the meaning of the song, I'm a little confused.

thanks for the correct lyrics, martina! I have several different ideas on what this song is about... I think in the very first 3 lines, he's talking to himself...then in the rest he's talking to his girlfriend. I believe that this girlfriend of his is going away (somewhere up north...maybe college?) He is all torn up that she's actually going, because she'd promised she wouldn't & the fact that she is going is killing him...@ the end he's begging her to stay... sigh So sweet... -- Rock on AAR!
