Grannis, Kina - Too Soon Lyrics






Sometimes it's hard to look you in the eye
the mess i've created it stands idly by
and i dont expect the dishes to do themselves
but that sure would be nice

cause i am moving circles, falling back
my past has caught up to me, and i've lost track
of what is history and what is a book marked page
I'd always hoped to come back to someday

don't speak to soon
I'll likely shut my ears or shut down
I'm mostly floating
and I'm not ready to come down

Don't wipe away my tears so quickly
Do you even know if they're happy or sad
maybe i need to let them fall
clean me out and wash me down
and let me drown for a while

you don't have to hold my hand through this
you've got enough to carry on your own
I think you'll need but hands for that
i think for now I'd be better off alone

I will be fine,
i need to grow
no expectations please
because i dont know
where im going or where i even stand
i'm just trying to find out exactly who i am

don't speak to soon
I'll likely shut my ears or shut down
I'm mostly floating
and I'm not ready to come down

  2. J.... K....

    ♡♡♡♡♡/KINA POWER\♡♡♡♡♡ your hair looks good short or long great song

  3. T.... S....

    Yes kina I resonate with what you say about crying and there is wisdom in what you say and I do learn from it so thank you p.s you look so soft and warm and makes me just want to cuddle up next to you that is how you and your music make me feel!😀😘

  4. T.... S....

    Kina is deep and I love ever bit of her and oh should I mention kina has a lovely voice xxxx

  5. V.... ....

    Hi Kina,
    I've just spent about 3-4 hours listening to your songs. I've been such a fan of your music for about 7 years now and listening to you talking about how you are a fairly complicated person who's mind thinks a lot and who feels a lot. I can resonate with that and your music feeds just that part of me. I hope I'll find a few more artists that are like you and me in that aspect. I feel i need to nurture that part of more. Were you always so in tune with yourself or did you learn that along the way? Maybe consider doing a podcast series about mental health or something similar. I'd listen to it 😌❤

    Anyways, have a lovely day and keep doing you! And please come back to Vienna, Austria one day to play a show. I missed the one in 2014 and have been waiting ever since. :)
    Ok bye!

  6. E.... H....

    i had this window open before your instagram live today where you played Paintings by Chagall, of "sometimes rain that's needed falls" fame. *i* don't even believe this coincidence, and i saw it myself. ✨✨✨

  7. J.... K....

    😣 people stop me crying in public, in yum restaurants, 😣

  8. J.... K....

    🎶 love your songs you can part your hair left right up or down you look hot either way 🎶

  9. A.... M....

    I am going through a lot as well. In my case I wanted to cry but I cant. What my body does whenever Im sad is sleep, like all day. And when I wake up, I feel sad again and I sleep. Im an over thinker and it makes me so sad. This song resonates with me so much. Im happy to know this is okay. Everybody went through this and its normal. Thanks Kina <3

  10. A.... F....

    Kina,
    You are a very talented artist. I am in a place myself where I am trying to figure myself out. This came right when I swore I was done with life. I appreciate you.
    Yours truly,

  11. N.... U....

    with any haircut you are beautiful really beautiful

  12. m.... k....

    wow yeah my story is a pretty long one. i have no idea where to start, so i have had an anxiety and panic disorder since early childhood. it was not until i turned age 22 that i was pretty much house ridden. that is when i discovered that alchohol numbed those horrible feelings. i was a functional alchoholic until my brother and best friend died days apart. so i moved back to texas for a while where he lived and i grew up. i kinda floated around from job to job and then decided to come back to south florida. i thought i was coming back to my old job but that was not the case. then pretty soon the anxiety medicine ran out along with my finances so i lived in my car until it broke down. so then i spent the next 3 years in pompano on the streets. the alchohol consumption came to an all time high, if i wasn't begging for money or sleeping i was in my spot under a tree drinking. then came the terrible shakes and throwing up ect... well i finally decided i'd had enough, checked myself into the salvation army for a 6 month program and i found God! so today nearly 2 years later i work for them and have gotten back my license and most recently a truck. anyway there's a lot more to my story so i gave you a shortened version. now i don't know how to end this, lol. never give up no matter how bleak the world looks you can do it!

  13. k.... ....

    SUPER))

  14. r.... ....

    I’ve had this song on repeat for a couple months now, it resonates with me so. But I REALLY want to know what Kina is humming in the background at the very beginning of the video.

  15. w.... ....

    Parted depending on if you're driving or a passenger. I rode a bicycle until almost 21, so my hair was always the opposite of everyone who drove. Looking over my left shoulder, so parted on the right, trying not to get run over. Versus window down and wind blowing to the right, so parted on the left.

  16. A.... T....

    cantik bener ini orang

  17. :.... ....

    Kina, I relate with what you said! I do think crying is beneficial sometimes too. You're awesome, love your music and your personality, you are so peaceful. Keep it up!! :)

  18. A.... C....

    I stumble back to your chanel and boy this hits me hard! This is where I am at the moment. All you said describes most of what i am going through now and yes, thank you for saying it is okay to let go of those tears cause it does make everything more forgiving after. You are beautiful person KG! We love you! Keep inspiring 🤗😘

  19. M.... O....

    I'm a 51-year-old widow. Yes, this song resonates with me. My love, Luis, just died a year ago, and I too am a cryer. I quite believe in its value. Thank you for a beautiful song.

  20. V.... L....

    Amazing

  21. M.... W....

    You remind me how beautiful life is with every song you sing. Thank you for every piece of your heart you share.

  22. G.... L....

    Bravissima e bellissima 😍 😍 😍

  23. L.... g....

    Kina, thank you for writing this beautiful song. I stumbled across this song of yours a few weeks back and at the time I was going through my own personal crisis where I would literally sit on my therapists couch and cry because I didn’t know who I was or where my life was going.
    Your song helped me feel like there’s nothing wrong with realizing those things and letting those feelings come out so thank you. Thanks for writing such deep, passionate songs.

  24. Z.... ....

    Holy fucking graceful shit! Ive been subbed for a long while now but havent listened to this. Melted my heart you person you!

  25. n.... ....

    Thank you Kina for making my life easier. I'm a fairly complicated person too and I'm a crier too :D No one got as close as you just did with me there. It resonates Kina :D It's so nice to see you transform all of what you feel into music and art that is beautiful. You have such a soothing voice and I love your songs. ❤️

  26. P.... S....

    I'm a fellow crier. I resonate.

  27. M.... A....

    not only you have a good voice, but also a beautiful heart.. thank you for the inspiration kina.. i hope you will have a concert here in the phililpines.. ❤

  28. J.... S....

    am going through it right now... since im going to graduate and all i don't know what to do and all and everyone is asking about my plans for my future but idk im scared and this song resonates with me a lot. thank you Kina for creating this song

  29. G.... C....

    Thank you for sharing this life experience.

    I weep. I do not cry. I cry when I am happy and when I am sad. I felt so ashamed for so long because I really care about people and life. Crying has become my expression of my inner self. Some people do perceive this as a weakness. But, I met a phenomenal young lecturer one day who said that my intuitive and caring nature makes me feel deeply and intimately about life. It is not a flaw to cry with strangers or to cry about your experience. Instead, it is a beautiful characteristic which allows one to shed away hurt, shower blessings and transfer love to others when words are not enough.

    I discovered your music on Deezer last night. Where have you been in my early adult life? I think that I am on this cusp between seeking independence and my identity as a young adult. I am 28 years old. I have tried various career options. Life happened...I have changed career paths so many times...Two nights ago...I was at my lowest not knowing if I should do teaching, pursue my Ph.D. in Public Health or just take a break. What does it mean if I am nowhere where my younger self-thought that I should be? How do I reconcile that my path has changed?

    Yes...I wept. I play the violin to soothe my mind. I sing to folk and indie music to wipe away the tears. Yes...It comes in cycles...But, I am grateful that I care enough not to be shallow but also not to wallow too long.

    Researchers have written a lot about the impact of laughter as a process of healing. It is my opinion and acknowledgement that crying is the soul connection between the ID, EGO, and SUPEREGO which only make sense if you accept that your mind and body has truly connected in an intimate way.

I just love the good talk you shared at every end of your videos. Sorry for being away and not hearing your music for so long! I loved your voice and your music way back then and still love it til now and probably forever! I wish I could write words beautifully as you to express what I truly feel. but thank you for writing those feelings for me, for us. thank you for sharing your music. THANK YOU. xx

  39. B.... �....

    I am a cryer too I've been seeing and experiencing things in my life lately (seems like forever) that I forgot about. I doubt myself too much, too many times. I feel like I'm floating . I push myself to live better , to discover thing (new things or old thing in different ways) but at the same time not succeeding (what's success anyway). And I cry Basecly that's all I ever do. Haha I've connected with you. I share your feelings. I'm happy that Im finally finding myself again out there on the crowd. And honestly I can't wait to get lost again and find out more things. About everything. Maybe that's our way of growing. Whrite}? Xx

  40. L.... S....

    I just discovered your music this week and I can honestly say you're what music is all about to me. It is therapeutic, intriguing interesting, and inspiring. Thank you for being authentic, because that is one of the most difficult things to even try to be. I love your music and your honesty. As complicated as life is, keep on doing what you're doing. :) <3

  41. n.... ....

    Come to indonesia pls :')

  42. E.... V....

    It is a really important song for me at the moment. I am graduating college, and it feels just like this. I really enjoy that you play your own songs :) Greetings from Mexico :)

  43. F.... C....

    Gosh I love your spirit... So beautiful 😊

  44. F.... C....

    This is so true... It's sometimes so hard for me to let myself cry! I feel her on this.! 😊 💙

  45. J.... O....

    love hearing the thoughts behind the lyrics. And yes it resonates and you make sense!

  46. J.... M....

    Love how you are yourself on those videos... I discovered you few days ago and can't believe how your songs brings peace to me, kind of weird that you look so much alike my best friend, stuff as been so hard lately between us and all the words you are singing are actually the words I needed to say! (Without me, gone etc...).
    Thank you for that, please never stop! Bless you, Jess xx

  47. T.... ....

    The Spiral on the top of your head indicates that the hair grows clockwise, whilst appearing to dive into the spiral counter clockwise. Therefore, it is more natural to part left to right. Going against the grain direction may cause hair fall.

  48. C.... T....

    Kina you have to collab with metalsides(Daniel Jang)

  49. A.... R....

    I love to hear you, I love to see you uttering thus positive words...<3

  52. K.... B....

    Your voice is beautiful and I love how your songs are so honest. Thank you for speaking out about how it's okay to feel like a complicated mess. I've turned to faith, but I've always found comfort in music and yours seems to match my personality/life perfectly.

  53. A.... M....

    Made a short cover of this song :) #LoveYou #KinaGrannis

  54. P.... M....

    Okay gotta admit, I've only been listening to your more famous/mainstream music and never really bothered to listen to your older songs (sorry). I'm so thankful that you brought this song back to life! It's helping me through this quarter life crisis lol.

  55. s.... B....

    can i give you a kiss in all goodness? maam? ... thank you for healing me 😇

  56. s.... ....

    Love your hair ! And I really love this song!!Can you please upload a tutorial video on how to play this? No idea how the strumming pattern goes! I'd love to play it as it is very relevant in my life right now.

  57. t.... m....

    sing to nature not people...Open up your heart...

  58. H.... K....

    I love your thoughts you say after the song, I love that you're a complicated person too, I love your thoughts about crying and about being ok, all these things are so relevant to my life. and I love your voice. I first "met" you in KHS videos (love all of them<3) but now I met your own songs too, and <3<3<3<3 *.* a very big thank for all your work and all your youtube videos!! greetings from Hungary :)

    Kina, I have the same feels. I'm listening to this song + and your thoughts over and over again because I feel the same way right now. Thank you for all your work. This is lifting me up :) Happy Thursday!

    Oh this was so so so so beautiful!!! So raw and beautiful, fantastic vocals, I love it so much!
    Your guitar is so pretty (and you are, too!!)

  65. l.... ....

    This resonates with me. Everything you said as well as your song. I'm ashamed to admit I only just found out about you recently. But I have loved what I have heard and seen of your artistry so far. I am quite emotional and a creative person as well. I feel like I live in this song. Everything is up on the air and I've just been uprooted from my home and just got out of a long term relationship that has left me in shambles. I feel like there are more questions than answers. Life is about moving on yes, but also I think it's important to reflect on everything that has led you here. Thank you for sharing your gift. And through your song making me feel less of a lonely mess.

  66. L.... C....

    Oh gosh! !this so perfect ...you touched me so much , I remembered my great old friend that I know she gonna if she hear this song, but anyway you are so great and wonderful voice..I'd like you to create more and to share more, keep looking forward for yah!!God Bless you.

  67. Y.... C....

    reminds me of After an afternoon...

  68. e.... ....

    This totally resonates with me. Sometimes I feel like a have a super power, and that is the ability to feel deeply... with all superpowers though, the superhero always goes through a time when they are learning to hone their power, and until they learn to use it for good, it can be destructive!

  69. D.... A....

    i love you videos... what mic is that?

  70. D.... J....

    very well said kina! i love you from the bottom of my hypothalamus!

  71. R.... B....

    Hu hu just feeling awesome and flying

  72. M.... W....

    hope you continue these throwbacks

  73. A.... C....

    so cute 😍

  74. j.... j....

    Man!! You're so amazing!

  75. S.... R....

    totally resonate with that, Kina!

  76. E.... C....

    Kina... Just wanna take this moment to thank you for sharing your art, your heart and what you've been through :') This is exactly what I'm dealing with at the moment and I can resonate with it so much and even though I've never met you before I feel like you're my big sister (which means a lot to me because I'm an only child who wishes to have a brother or sister so badly !) We pretty much share the same personality, same struggles, same taste in music and I feel so connected to you. Sorry for the ramble haha but just wanna say I really really appreciate everything you've shared on the internet, including your blogs, songs, and even random posts :) hope to see you one day and love you <3

    E.... C....

    Just wondering.. are you an INFP? :)

  77. m.... ....

    The same exact thing happened to me. Are we soulmates of some sort? I feel so much, too! — Mari

  78. V.... O....

    Thank you, Kina! First time to watch this today, I'm already 28. Thank you for sharing! Underwent and has been recurrently undergoing the same and it paints a big smile on my face tonight to hear you say those words like they're okay, they're part of life because they are indeed! Was smiling all throughout, I think I'm gonna follow you from now on and hopefully meet you one day. Hahahaha! Love from Manila! ❤️

  79. K.... S....

    i keep coming back to this song... it's just too real (i'm a university student)

  80. j.... ....

    Kina,
    I've been following you for a long time. I think you are one of the most fascinating wonderful creatures I've ever seen. Thank you for remaining in a medium I can enjoy you regularly and I always smile when I know I get to see your face grace my screen. Keep feeling everything, with everything. <3 a kindred spirit.

  81. M.... T....

  85. J.... T....

    I love all of you're songs but I have a special feel for this song because the song itself and the meaning remind me of myself a lot. You're a extremely talented person Kina, never stop singing.

  86. F.... F....

    This video really made me smile, especially the part about crying and how hard it can be to connect in this world. It resonates with me so much. Thank you for sharing once again

  87. F.... F....

    You make more sense than you think ;) thank you for sharing your beautiful voice, soul and mind with us!

  88. s.... ....

    beautiful kina <3

  89. A.... O....

    touched my heart!
    anyway could you tell me about mics
    i want to know the brand of mic...

    A.... O....

    Looks like a Nuvo AEA N22 to me, such a great quality microphone. It really compliments her voice and you can definitely feel the warmth.

    A.... O....

    Justin W. thank you so much for your kindness!! i will check it :-)

  90. F.... L....

    Thank you for posting this video, Kina! i've been your fan for years (since i wasn't good at english, your videos were some kind of english listening practices for me, hahah.. till now) this is the first time i comment here.
    i like the way you describe how tears and crying feel like to a person. i just cried for some reasons.. and you made me so much better. your words and songs are my motivation to have a better ideas in life.
    thank you and plz keep singing and writing. xoxo

  91. N.... N....

    You are so pretty! <3

  92. m.... b....

    Your words just touched my heart.You cannot overcome pain, Until you let the cloud fade away.

  93. C.... R....

    Totally resonating with this song ! I finally  get out of this awful phase of my life. At the end of high school, I was so terrified and insecure about the future, I just shut down myself, i wasn't ready to face the questions of who I am, what I want and who I want to be and what I want to be. I choose the only way that assemble security, recognition and not have to time to wonder anything but your job. I made my way through my first year of medicine school (in France that meant 16h of work, the rest of sleeping ) but quickly after this year, all the questions I rejected, rushed back. It took me 3 years get my head straight off this. 3 years of doubt,  of questioning every choice I made in my life and why I made them. I don't think I could have get through it if I forget about my past. If we obliterate our past, i think we are going to lose ourselves. I quit my studies, i accepted that the only i want to do is playing and sharing music or any type of art. I don't really care about the job I have, in the morning the only fact to know that i'm gonna be able to play guitar or to share my last music, book, movie discovery is enough to wake up. Knowing who we are is the longest and hardest path that we may ever have to cross but it's also the most rewarding. Time is the key.

  94. s.... ....

    This song is perfect. I'm going through this now. Having gone to college, bouncing from course to course trying to figure out who I am and who I want to be. I used to hate the feeling of being lost, but I've learned to accept that I don't have to figure everything out right away. Thank you for this song Kina.

  95. E.... M....

    what kind of mic is that?? song's lovely!

    E.... M....

    AEA N22 ribbon mics :) They're the best :) !

  96. J.... S....

    I love your long hair!!!

  97. M.... W....

    I listened to this song because I was about to look up "This Far" and stumbled upon this one. I had no idea you were going to chat after the video, and while I was writing a paper, you started talking about precisely what I'm going through. It was pretty surreal! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I have been feeling super lost in who I am and what I'm doing, so to say I'm grateful for your words is a HUGE understatement. You have obvious musical gifts, but you also have a gift of honesty, and I got to benefit from it! This was a bit lengthy. Thank you again for sharing!

  98. R.... H....

    I definitely agree that some of us "feel" more/everything. I think we're lucky in a way but this music is so transcending and I love your message about allowing ourselves to sit in a space of uncertainty before moving on. ❤️
