Too Old, Too Familiar, Too Fast
Fading Stars: Navigating Love's Familiar Struggles
Lyrics
We've been down this road
We have experienced this situation before.
Too many times before
This has happened repeatedly.
And it's getting old
The situation is becoming tiresome.
It's getting old
Emphasizing the repetitiveness and weariness of the situation.
All you wanna do is hurt
Your actions are causing emotional pain.
All you say are the same old words
Your words are predictable and unchanging.
They're getting more familiar
The words are becoming more recognizable.
A little too familiar
Highlighting that the familiarity is excessive.
A little too old, too familiar, too fast
The situation is both too old, too familiar, and progressing too quickly.
I don't know where I'm going, but I ain't ever going back
Uncertainty about the future, but a determination not to return to the past.
To a little too old, too familiar, too fast
Reiterating the undesirable aspects of the past.
How dare you come around this little old town
Expressing surprise or disbelief at the other person's presence.
Girl you should know by now
Assuming that the person should be aware of certain facts or truths.
Everybody knows your name
Everyone in the town is familiar with you.
And the games you play
Referring to deceptive or manipulative behavior.
We were right from the start
Asserting a positive start to the relationship.
We were written in the stars
Suggesting a predestined connection.
How did we fall so far
Expressing disappointment at the deterioration of the relationship.
It happened way too fast
The downfall occurred too quickly.
A little too fast
Reiterating the swift and undesirable nature of the events.
A little too old, too familiar, too fast
The situation is too old, too familiar, and progressing too fast.
I don't know where I'm going, but I ain't ever going back
Undecided about the future, but determined not to return to the past.
To a little too old, too familiar, too fast
Reiterating the undesirability of the past.
Well, I don't know where I'm going, but I ain't ever
Expressing uncertainty about the future.
I ain't ever going back
Firmly rejecting the idea of returning to the past.
To a little too old, too familiar, too fast
Emphasizing the negative aspects of the past.
