Navigating Love's Uncertainty: Candid Bandit's 'Too Soon To Say'
Lyrics
I've been growing tomatoes in my head
The speaker metaphorically cultivates thoughts or ideas ("tomatoes") in their mind.
For a garden that I don't have
The mental garden is for a non-existent physical garden, suggesting unfulfilled aspirations.
Tomatoes for the dinners that I don't have enough
Tomatoes symbolize rewards or achievements, but the speaker lacks motivation for them.
Motivation to bake
The lack of motivation extends to baking, indicating a broader disinterest or lethargy.
In our too small apartment
References conflicts in a cramped living space, possibly reflecting relationship challenges.
We have big blowout fights
Describes intense arguments in the too small apartment.
And little talks about getting more space
Mentions discussions about obtaining more space with financial constraints.
With all the money that we don't make
Highlights financial struggles and the irony of considering a bigger space with limited income.
But it's too soon to say

Can't read between the lines
