More Love
Darrell Scott / Tim O'Brien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a silence between us
And there's so much to say
You're my strength, you're my weakness
You're my faith, you're my doubt
We gotta meet in the middle
To work this thing out
More love, I can hear our hearts cryin'
More love, I know that's all we need
More love to flow in between us
To take us and hold us and lift us above
If there's ever an answer it's more love
We're afraid to be idle so we fill up the days
We run on a treadmill
Keep slavin' away
Until there's no time for talkin'
About troubles in mind
And the doors are all closed
Between your heart and mine
More love, I can hear our hearts cryin'
More love, I know that's all we need
More love to flow in between us
To take us and hold us and lift us above
If there's ever an answer it's more love
Just look out around you, people fightin' their wars
They think they'll be happy
When they settle their scores
Let's lay down the weapons
That hold us apart
Be still for just a minute
Try to open our hearts
More love, I can hear our hearts cryin'
More love, I know that's all we need
More love to flow in between us
To take us and hold us and lift us above
If there's ever an answer it's more love
The song "More Love" by Darrell Scott and Tim O'Brien is a powerful commentary on the importance of love and connection in our lives. The opening lines describe a dilemma that many couples face - being physically close to each other but emotionally distant, with a lot left unsaid. The verses that follow delve into the complexities of the human experience, exploring the paradoxes of relationships, faith, and doubt.
The chorus of the song is a simple but powerful message - "More love, I can hear our hearts cryin'/More love, I know that's all we need/More love to flow in between us/To take us and hold us and lift us above". The song suggests that love is the answer to the struggles we face in our lives, and that if we can find a way to let go of our defenses and connect with each other more deeply, we can transcend even the most difficult challenges.
