In “Too Sweet” Hozier draws a contrast between two individuals with different lifestyles and preferences, one who enjoys living life at his own pace, indulging in simple pleasures like whiskey, coffee, and late nights while not worrying too much about conforming to societal norms of waking up early and living a disciplined life, and a second individual, presumably the partner, is portrayed as someone who values discipline, health, and structure. They encourage the narrator to live a healthier lifestyle, waking up early and taking care of themselves. Explore the topic further .⬇️.

Born from the 3rd Circle of Hell, Gluttony, same as his track, “Eat Your Young”, Hozier examines excessiveness and overindulgence, similar to Dante’s depiction of gluttony where it not only refers to overconsumption of food and drink but also the overindulgence in any worldly pleasure to the detriment of spiritual growth.
The track was first teased on March 6, 2024, during an interview with Chris Black and Jon Stewart for their podcast How Long Gone episode 614, a second time during the official announcement of the Unheard EP and finally on a post on his socials celebrating his first time in Chile for Lollapalooza.

Hozier Too Sweet Lyrics
It can’t be said I’m an early bird
It’s 10 o’clock before I say a word
Baby, I can never tell
How do you sleep so well?
You keep tellin’ me to live right
To go to bed before the daylight
But then you wake up for the sunrise
You know you don’t gotta pretend
Baby, now and then
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t you just wanna wake up
Dark as a lake
Smellin’ like a bonfire
Lost in a haze?
If you’re drunk on life, babe
I think it’s great
But while in this world
[Chorus]
I think I’ll take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You’re too sweet for me
You’re too sweet for me
I take my whiskеy neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You’re too sweet for mе
You’re too sweet for me

[Verse 2]
I aim low
I aim true, and the ground’s where I go
I work late where I’m free from the phone
And the job gets done
But you worry some, I know
But who wants to live forever, babe?
You treat your mouth as if it’s Heaven’s gate
The rest of you like you’re the TSA
I wish I could go along
Babe, don’t get me wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
You know you’re bright as the morning
As soft as the rain
Pretty as a vine
As sweet as a grape
If you can sit in a barrel
Maybe I’ll wait
Until that day
[Chorus]
I’d rather take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You’re too sweet for me
You’re too sweet for me
I take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You’re too sweet for me
You’re too sweet for me
[Non-Lyrical Vocals]
[Outro]
I take my whiskey neat
My coffee black and my bed at three
You’re too sweet for me
You’re too sweet for me
