About This Track

'Too Young' by Phoenix is a 2000 rock track from the album 'United'. The lyrics look back on a missed moment, with the narrator realising that fear and insecurity have blocked the ability to be straightforward, “a simple guy”, even while trying to put on a brave face. The song’s images, a turn at the end of the street and a crowd-like inner commotion, give the feeling of being caught between what is seen and what is understood.

"Too Young" is a single by Phoenix, from the album United, released 7th June 2000. The track is 3:18 long. It's filed under Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 8 articles about Phoenix.

Lyrics

Too Young

Baby when I saw you turning at the end of the street
I knew a time was gone and it took me like ages
Just to understand that I was afraid to be a simple guy
I tried my best to smile but deep inside my heart
I felt it was shouting like a crowd dancing
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is

Can't you hear it calling oh yeah
Everybody's dancin' oh yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young

I can't lie on my bed without thinking I was wrong
But when this feeling calls this world becomes another
Nighttime won't hold me in your arms again
I got a very good friend who says he can't believe the love I give
Is not enough to end your fears
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is

Can't you hear it calling oh yeah
Everybody's shakin' oh yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young

Oh rainfalls and hard times coming they won't leave me tonight
I wish I knew what I was doing
Just do let this spirit survive
Everybody's dancing oh yeah
I guess I couldn't live without the things that made my life what it is

Can't you hear it calling oh yeah
Everybody's dancing oh yeah
Tonight everything is over
I feel too young
