Too Old
Embracing Life's Sunset: 'Too Old' by Bird's View Unveiled
Lyrics
Hey don’t you know
Addressing someone, expressing surprise or disbelief.
The water is warm enough
Encouraging the person, suggesting they are capable.
You can leave your shoes
Inviting the person to be comfortable, symbolized by removing shoes.
I promise they won’t get touched
Assuring the safety of personal belongings left behind.
You don’t know what to do
Describing uncertainty or confusion.
I’d rather stay in your arms
Expressing a preference for closeness and intimacy.
Still awake at noon
Noticing a late hour, possibly implying an emotional struggle.
Coming home at 6 o’clock
Highlighting a routine or daily pattern.
You’ve broken, my back,
Referencing emotional pain, seeking solace.
hold me to forget my past
Using physical closeness to cope with or escape from the past.
At some point you’re too old to die young
Introducing the theme of aging and mortality.
Im here and you’re still gone
Expressing the singer's presence despite the other person's absence.
At some point you’re too old to die young
Reiterating the inevitability of growing older.
I’m here and you’re still gone
Emphasizing the enduring absence of the other person.
Hey don’t you know
Repeating the earlier expression of surprise or disbelief.
I could talk to you all night
Expressing a desire for prolonged conversation.
Maybe i’m a fool
Acknowledging a potential folly in not realizing value until it's lost.
Because i don’t until you’re gone
Realizing the importance of someone after they've departed.
You don’t know what to do
Reiterating the uncertainty or confusion mentioned earlier.
I’d rather stay in your arms
Expressing a preference for closeness and intimacy, echoing line 7.
Still awake at noon
Noticing a late hour again, suggesting an ongoing struggle.
Coming home at 6 o’clock
Highlighting a routine or daily pattern, echoing line 9.
You’ve broken, my back,
Repeating the reference to emotional pain and the need for comfort.
hold me to forget my past
Reiterating the use of physical closeness to cope with the past.
At some point you’re too old to die young
Reintroducing the theme of aging and the inevitability of death.
Im here and you’re still gone
Affirming the singer's presence in contrast to the other person's absence.
At some point you’re too old to die young
Reiterating the theme of aging and mortality.
I’m here and you’re still gone
Emphasizing the enduring absence of the other person.
You’ve broken, my back
Repeating the reference to emotional pain and the need for comfort.
You’ve broken, my back
Reiterating the impact of emotional distress on the singer.
At some point you’re too old to die young
Recalling the inevitability of growing older.
Im here and you’re still gone
Affirming the singer's continued presence despite the other's absence.
At some point you’re too old to die young
Reiterating the theme of aging and the inevitability of death.
I’m here and you’re still gone
Emphasizing the enduring absence of the other person.
