Boy In Space’s Too Much To Lose: A Bittersweet Tale of Late-Night Temptations and Second Chances
Boy In Space’s latest single Too Much To Lose hits like that middle-of-the-night text you know you shouldn’t send but can’t help typing out anyway.
Swedish artist Robin Lundbäck has taken his signature pop sound and given it a gorgeous Nashville-tinged makeover, with the result that will have you reaching for both your dancing shoes and a box of tissues.
The track opens with an achingly honest confession: “Overthinking for days now, wasn’t expecting your call.”
From there, Boy In Space pulls us into a dimly lit bar where old flames reignite over red wine and familiar songs.
His raw, vulnerable vocals tell a story we have all lived through or dreaded experiencing – that moment when someone from your past walks back into your life looking even better than you remembered.
What sets this song apart is how brilliantly it captures the push-and-pull between desire and common sense.
The chorus hits with the gut-punch confession “I want you baby, you want me too” before reality crashes in with “but we got too much to lose.”
The production deserves a proper nod here – there’s a noticeable shift towards more guitar-driven arrangements compared to his earlier work, likely influenced by his time in Nashville.
It’s a risk that pays off beautifully, adding warmth and earthiness to his crystalline pop sensibilities.
Those final lyrics: “Taxi take me home, I should be alone, Should I stay instead” – land with the weight of every bad decision you’ve ever been tempted to make.
It’s the kind of song that’ll have you sending risky texts to your ex (don’t do it!), but also the perfect soundtrack for when you’re trying to talk yourself out of it.
Following his deeply personal Copium EP, this track feels like Boy In Space stepping into new territory while keeping that emotional honesty that’s earned him over half a billion Spotify streams.

Boy In Space Too Much To Lose Lyrics
Overthinking for days now
wasn’t expecting your call
One thing led to a drunk conversation
That led us to the back of the bar
It’s been so long
Since we Where drinking red wine
Getting close to midnight
Then they play our song
And baby you look so fine
Dancing like you’re still mine
there you are just spinning around me
In that brand new dress
eyes like brandy knew she could have the heart beneath my chest I pulled her in and I said
I want you baby
You want me too
Put my hands all over you
I need you baby
You need me too
But we got too much to lose
I still remember the places
Where you got freckles and scars
And the terrible tattoo you got
You’d never mentioned that to your mom
It’s been so long
Since we were drinking red wine
Getting close to midnight
Then they play our song
And baby you look so fine
Dancing like you’re still mine
there you are just spinning around me
In that brand new dress
eyes like brandy knew she could have the
heart beneath my chest
I pulled her in and I said
I want you baby
You want me too
Put my hands all over you
I need you baby
You need me too
But we got too much to lose
Please don’t follow me
I’d fall over you
All over again
Taxi take me home
I should be alone
Should I stay instead
