More Than It Would Seem
Gabe Dixon Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He left you behind cryin' by the phone
You weren't born to lose but losing him is wise
You've got a new fool
And he's just about my size
Live your life just how you love to live it
And things will all fall into place.
In the end you meet your friends.
There is something I must tell you girl,
Been building up so long
See, all the times I served as your love consultant
I wanted to be there myself
Live your life just how you love to live it
And things will all fall into place.
Take your strife and try your best to sing it
In the end you meet your friends.
I love you more than it would seem
I love you more than it would seem
Love to me is not a total stranger
But love to me don't make no sense.
Love can be a capsule full of danger,
But that's a risk I'll have to take.
I love you more than it would seem
I love you more than it would seem
I'm sorry I waited so long but the
Time was so wrong.
I know its just a song but I love you
Things ain't what they seem to be
I have tried to conceal but love overwhelms me
