SONG lyrics for Too fast to love by Beauty Sleep:

I tried to meet you in the middle
But your life was full of riddles
And the truth was unclear
You fell beyond my destination
So I waited at the station
For you to appear
And we danced across the winter rain
Like a rainbow in a hurricane
In the bright white night
And everyone who crossed our path
Said our love could never last
And we proved them right

Too fast to fall in love
Too fast to fall in love with anyone

I tried to meet you in the middle
But your life was full of riddles
So what could I say?
Our hearts were sparks of inspiration
There was no time for any hesitation
Our minds were made
They tried to show us the direction
But we were lost in our affection
And we never looked back
We were both too fast

Too fast to fall in love
Too fast to fall in love with anyone
