Speak Too Soon Lyrics
Came my way on a summer day
Flying out of broken soil
Safe to say that you blinded me
I saw you when my sight was sore
Met your lips in the dead of night
And took you on the kitchen floor
Good god, I got it bad for you babe
Guess I don’t know anything about it
Guess I thought you were preaching to an empty room
And I’ll tell you how I feel but I don’t want to speak too soon
So I just pray it’s all true
Well you don’t know much about me
I’ll explain it as best I can
I’m afraid of getting rich just to find out
It was fools gold in my pan
Time is wasted on a boy who is faking
Pretending just to be a man
Good god, I got it bad for you babe
Guess I don’t know anything about it
Guess I thought you were preaching to an empty room
And I’ll tell you how I feel but I don’t want to speak too soon
So I just pray it’s all true
Flying out of broken soil
Safe to say that you blinded me
I saw you when my sight was sore
Met your lips in the dead of night
And took you on the kitchen floor
Good god, I got it bad for you babe
Guess I don’t know anything about it
Guess I thought you were preaching to an empty room
And I’ll tell you how I feel but I don’t want to speak too soon
So I just pray it’s all true
Well you don’t know much about me
I’ll explain it as best I can
I’m afraid of getting rich just to find out
It was fools gold in my pan
Time is wasted on a boy who is faking
Pretending just to be a man
Good god, I got it bad for you babe
Guess I don’t know anything about it
Guess I thought you were preaching to an empty room
And I’ll tell you how I feel but I don’t want to speak too soon
So I just pray it’s all true
Oh, and I just pray it’s all true
Guess I don’t know anything about it
Guess I thought you were preaching to an empty room
And I’ll tell you how I feel but I don’t want to speak too soon
So I just pray it’s all true
Guess I don’t know anything about it
Guess I thought you were preaching to an empty room
And I’ll tell you how I feel but I don’t want to speak too soon
So I just pray it’s all true
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
This is one of our favourites from our first record, and maybe one of the few TRUE no nonsense love songs. No heartache here. I remember this is the last song we added to the record, I was at the beginning of a new relationship. Very much in the honeymoon phase. I was trying not to ruin it by freaking myself but I could tell it was the start of something really big. That’s kind of where I was at when I was writing it.
