Still Too Soon to Know
Love's Uncertainty: Elvis Costello's Reflection on Timing and Doubt
Lyrics
Do you love him
Asking if the person loves someone.
Or is it still too soon to know?
Expressing uncertainty about the current state of emotions.
When I think back a couple of days
Reflecting on events from a few days ago.
Before I found you in his spell
Finding the person under the influence of someone else.
Was there a warning?
Questioning if there were any signs or warnings.
What can I say
Expressing uncertainty or confusion.
Should I look away
Considering whether to avert one's gaze or attention.
It`s still too soon to know
Reiterating that it's too soon to have definite knowledge.
Are you sorry
Inquiring if there is regret.
Or is it still to soon to know?
Questioning if it's still too early to determine regret.
It didn't take much to break us in two
Indicating that the relationship was fragile and easily broken.
For it was in the way that he came close to touching you
Describing a moment where someone else almost came between them.
The look in your eyes
Recognizing a certain expression in the eyes of the person.
I thought I recognized
Thinking that the recognized expression is significant.
It`s still too soon to know
Reiterating that it's premature to draw conclusions.
And it`s still too soon to know
Emphasizing again that it's too soon to know.
Will you stay or will you go?
Pondering whether the person will stay or leave.
It`s still too soon to know
Reaffirming that it's too early to make predictions.
When I think back a couple of days
Recalling events from a few days ago again.
If I wasn't happy then, I never will be
Expressing doubt about happiness in the past.
I wonder was this ignorance or bliss?
Questioning whether ignorance or bliss played a role.
It`s still too soon to know
Repeating that it's still too soon to have clarity.
