too soon from three houses by dave malloy

GRANDMOTHER
it’s too soon
for this to fall apart.
don’t break my heart
when it’s barely found its beat.

it’s too soon.
i just picked up my pen.
you just taught me to sing again.

i thought i saw a smile on your lips
just before you walked away
through the streetlit shadow snow.
how could you go?
it’s too soon.

and i just don’t want it to be over,
i just don’t want it to end.
i just don’t want it to be over,
i just don’t want it to end.

it’s too soon
there’s so much we haven’t done
give me one more night
to nibble on your thighs

we haven’t danced yet
i haven’t twirled you ‘cross the room
and made you swoon
while the jukebox slowly dies

(sadie joins the singing, drunk and too loud)

ALL but WOLF
i can’t quite remember the last time
that i wrote a love song
quite as terrible as this.

GRANDMOTHER
now give me a kiss.
it’s too soon.

SADIE & GRANDMOTHER
and i just don’t want it to be over,
i just don’t want it to end.

no i just don’t want it to be over,
i just don’t want it to end.

(sadie takes the mic and goes wild)

ALL
no i just don’t want it to be over,
i just don’t want it to end.

no i just don’t want it to be over,
i just don’t want it to end.
