Fast Enough For You Lyrics
If time were only part of the equation
Then you could draw the bound'ries of our cage
You wouldn't pile another stone upon me
And I'd be happy just to watch you age
But everything is in its own dominion
And waiting in the shallows as I do
Appeases me as water slowly trickles out
Which isn't nearly fast enough for you
It isn't nearly fast enough for you
It isn't nearly fast enough for you
Its what I was afraid of
I stumble into view
But it isn't nearly fast enough for you
It isn't nearly fast enough for you

I think it's just about two people wanting to take their relationship at different speeds.....the singer wants to take it slowly/take their time, the person being sung to wants to move fast.
Yeah, the title itself implies that the singer wants his partner to be happy, but she wants to progress their relationship faster than he does.
I think you have to take this song in context with the rest of the album, which tracks this relationship through breakup, absence (the dream sequence after the guy falls asleep alone on his bed in "lengthwise") and a sort of sheepish reunion (horn)

A lot of times, song meanings can differentiate pending the interpretation of the listener. In this particular song, I don't think its a question of the relationship not moving fast enough for the other party, as in a "simplistic, literal sense" (i.e. consumation), but I do sense that the narrator is in a troubled relationship - whereas the (woman) in the lyrics has a restless heart and wants more out of the relationship/ or life, than the narrator is able to give. It seems that the narrator is very much unconditionally in love with the woman, yet for whatever reasons, the relationship is in disconnect, at least from her side - but then later he finally, begrudgingly is able to see it too (i.e. the "stumbled into view" lyric).
Just my take on it.
Does anyone know who sang with Trey in this song? I love it
