When a teenage Reeves encountered the works of Bob Dylan and James Taylor, it set off a chain of events. First he began working on his own songwriting, combining the classic singer/songwriter style with more modern influences like Radiohead and Sufjan Stevens. He then dropped out of college and moved from Iowa, where he then lived, eventually landing in California. The second person he met upon arrival was future pop star Colbie Caillat. The two hit it off immediately and it didn't take long for their friendship to turn into a songwriting partnership, one that would create the foundation for Caillat's hit album Coco. The songs that weren't reserved for Coco ended up on Reeves' EP Hearts Are Magnets, which appeared in 2006 on the Dancing Squirrel label. The full-length The Magnificent Adventures of Heartache followed in 2007.
Reeves signed to Warner Bros Records in 2008 with the help of Kara DioGuardi and released an album and an EP with the label. He again self-released an album in 2011 with The Lovesick.
More in Love With You
Jason Reeves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Both my poor eyes hurt
You will drag me out of bed
And I will drive us all the way to church
And I will pray with you
In that front row pew
I will spend my whole life through
Someday when I'm coming home
So late from work ,you try to save the day
You'll take dinner out the oven
Black as night and set it smokin' on my plate
And I will laugh with you
When you burn my food
I will spend my whole life through
Falling more in love with you
Summer nights, the lightning strikes
So close to our house, all the lights go out
I will sing your favorite song
Along with all the raindrops falling down
And I will dance with you
Till the sky turns blue
I will spend my whole life through
Falling more in love with you
And when we pass that hill
We always talk about the house we'll build someday
And all the beauty we will witness
While we're living in the love we'll make
I will dream with you
Until they all come true
And I will spend my whole life through
Falling more in love with you
And we won't make plans
(No)
'Cause they'll all just change
Time and time again
And we might not know how it ends
But as long as we have us
That'll be enough
Someday when we're older
And our skin is worn and both our hair is gray
We won't cry when it's our time
To leave this life behind, we'll float away
And I will fly with you
Far beyond the moon
I will spend my whole life through
Falling more in love with you
Falling more in love with you
Falling more in love with you

Early in the morning when I'm still so tired
You wake me up when I feel exhausted
Both my poor eyes hurt
My eyes are pained when I wake up
You will drag me out of bed
You pull me out of bed
And I will drive us all the way to church
I drive us to church together
And I will pray with you
I will pray beside you
In that front row pew
We sit in the front row pews together
I will spend my whole life through
I want to spend my life with you
Falling more in love with you
Continuing to love you more
Someday when I'm coming home
When I'm coming late from work
So late from work, you try to save the day
When you try to save the day for me
You'll take dinner out the oven
You'll take out the burnt dinner from the oven
Black as night and set it smokin' on my plate
It's burnt so badly that it looks black and emits smoke on my plate
And I will laugh with you
I'll laugh with you over it
When you burn my food
When you make burnt food
Summer nights, the lightning strikes
On summer nights when lightning strikes close to our house
So close to our house, all the lights go out
It's so close to our house, it makes the lights go out
I will sing your favorite song
I will sing your favorite song with you
Along with all the raindrops falling down
While the raindrops fall along
And I will dance with you
I'll dance with you in the rain
Till the sky turns blue
Until the sky turns blue
I will dream with you
I'll dream with you
Until they all come true
Until all our dreams come true
And we won't make plans (No)
We won't make plans that won't come true
Cause they'll all just change
Because they'll keep changing over time
And we might not know how it ends
We can't predict our future
But as long as we have us
But, as long as we have each other
That'll be enough
That will be enough to make us happy
Someday when we're older
When we get older someday
And our skin is worn and both our hair is gray
When our skin wrinkles and both our hair turn gray
We won't cry when it's our time
We won't cry when our time comes
To leave this life behind, we'll float away
We'll leave this life together and peacefully
And I will fly with you
I'll fly with you
Far beyond the moon
Far beyond the moon together
I will spend my whole life through
I want to spend my life with you
Falling more in love with you
Continuing to love you more
Falling more in love with you
Continuing to love you more
