Too Too Too Fast Lyrics
We have forgotten so much since then
The scent of your breath again
Or maybe it's the way we fell
don't fall
Stop looking out to pretend
Everything is still there
We have forgotten so much since then
The scent of your breath again
Or maybe it's the way that we fell
Don't fall
Stop looking up
Pretending this is not
What it might have come from
The tide or your luck
She'd have said it's cruel
I only cared about the
Things that you don't
Anything that's right
We had much more
Anything worth losing
Pleasing you
When I look in your eyes
What am I supposed to do
When I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes
We have forgotten so much since then
The august light on my hands
Is it the tone we defend
Don't fall
Stop looking up
Cause still I had a thought
A day couldn't tell
The weight or a change
The way that we are
I can't tell if I'm
Asleep or awake
Anything that's right
Pleasing you
When I look in your eyes
What am I supposed to do
When I look in your eyes
Alright, alright
When I look in your eyes
Oh what am I
Supposed to do
What did I do
I could tell you were there
Lying awake and aware
I'm feeling I got no
Sense of what's left or gone
What's left or gone
Gimme something to leave with
The feeling that you're not mine
We're feigning words in the place
Of people we used to know
When I look in your eyes
What am I supposed to do
When I look in your eyes
Alright, alright
When I look in your eyes
Oh what am I
Supposed to do
What did I do
The scent of your breath again
Or maybe it's the way we fell
don't fall
Stop looking out to pretend
Everything is still there
The scent of your breath again
Or maybe it's the way that we fell
Don't fall
Stop looking up
What it might have come from
The tide or your luck
I only cared about the
Things that you don't
We had much more
Anything worth losing
Pleasing you
What am I supposed to do
When I look in your eyes
When I look in your eyes
The august light on my hands
Is it the tone we defend
Don't fall
Stop looking up
A day couldn't tell
The weight or a change
I can't tell if I'm
Asleep or awake
Pleasing you
What am I supposed to do
When I look in your eyes
Alright, alright
When I look in your eyes
Oh what am I
Supposed to do
What did I do
Lying awake and aware
I'm feeling I got no
Sense of what's left or gone
What's left or gone
Gimme something to leave with
The feeling that you're not mine
We're feigning words in the place
Of people we used to know
What am I supposed to do
When I look in your eyes
Alright, alright
When I look in your eyes
Oh what am I
Supposed to do
What did I do

It seems like it's about a past relationship that could be on the verge of coming back.
"We have forgotten so much since -then-" past "The scent of your breath -again-" now
"She'd have said it's cruel" Girl between past and present that doesn't accept what he cares about.
"Don't fall (in love again)" "The feeling that you're not mine" He doesn't want it to come back because he has "No sense of what's left or gone."
"The way that we are - I can't tell - I'f I'm asleep or awake" "We're [pretending/making up] words in the place of people we used to know." He doesn't know if they are truly falling in love again or just dreaming up their past feelings.
This song is amazing. I can't believe there aren't any other comments.
It could be about a relationship that never really worked as they don't like the same things ("i only cared about the tings you don't") and now the relationship is ending.
Or they could have rushed into their relationship and now they regret it ("maybe its the way that we fell")
Anyway thats just my take on it. Does anyone know what Alexandra and Becky are saying in the chorus?
I think they're just saying "too fast, too too too fast, too fast".
I think they're just saying "too fast, too too too fast, too fast".
I agree, great song.
I agree, great song.
i think it's "too too too fast, too too too fast, baby don't you think that you are going too fast, etc."
i think it's "too too too fast, too too too fast, baby don't you think that you are going too fast, etc."
I'm pretty sure it's just Alexandra, btw...just saw them in concert (:

I see this is a long didtance relationship coming to an end
i love how this song has a cool 80's vibe overall, just a great and fun song
i'd like to know the background lyrics during the chorus! too too too fast...huh? haha.
[i agree with the eighties vibe]- part of the amazing versatility of r-cubed's sound, i suppose.
I'll make the voice talking be a boy (seeing as Miles is singing. But it could be a girl's voice). This song is about a boy telling a girl that even though not a lot of time has gone by, it seems like they have been apart for so long (apart as in broken up). He sees through the illusion of time and realizes that he still has feelings for her but she keeps on thinking that years have gone by. He looks into her eyes and yet they somehow aren't open. He's trying to open her eyes.
Not sure if that's even close to how it was supposed to be written. But that's what I got out of it. Great song.
The only 'genre' I could classify Ra Ra Riot as is 'beautiful music'.
Oh, and analyzing that last part before the final chorus. Beginning with "I could tell you were there".. He finally got through to her and they both know that feelings are still present due to the incredibly little time that has passed. But because they aren't back together, he wants something that'll make him finally believe it's over.
