If I Had a Heart
Fever Ray/Trevor Morris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This will never end 'cause I want more
More, give me more
Give me more

This will never end 'cause I want more
More, give me more
Give me more
If I had a heart I could love you
If I had a voice I would sing
After the night when I wake up
I'll see what tomorrow brings

Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah
If I had a voice, I would sing

Dangling feet from window frame
Will I ever ever reach the floor?
More, give me more, give me more

Crushed and filled with all I found
Underneath and inside Just to come around
More, give me more, give me more

Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah




Ah ah, ah ah
If I had a voice, I would sing

"I wish I'd never left the farm". Never a more brutally honest line.

That and when he's on a boat and looks to the side and he sees himself and Lagertha with the kids before he ever left. He followed his ambition and by the end regretted it. Ragnar was an amazing character.

@frankenz66

Fits well for humanity at large.
