I Want More
Kaleo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels like the weight has been lifted away
But if she leaves me there, I won't run
Please pass it on, carry me down
All you need to know is I want more, more
Looking for more
I want more, more
So light
Hold back the night, wait 'til it's right
But then you fold your hand into mine
Watch as the waves, fall back into place
So don't you leave me there wanting more
More, like before, more
I want more, more
'Cause I want more, ooh
Turn back, leave all you had
Forgive, I'll forget
'Cause what we need is what we once had
Time won't stand still
Just say you will
'Cause I need you there and now
If you leap, I'll come falling too
Running deep 'til that rivers through
I don't mind what you have to do
'Cause I won't think less, less of you
Yes, I want more, more
Looking for more
I want more, more
'Cause I want more
Old grounds
Feels like the weight has been lifted away
So don't you leave me there wanting more
Kaleo's song "I Want More" is all about wanting more out of life and relationships, and the fear of missing out on something better. The lyrics describe feeling like the weight has been lifted away when returning to old familiar places, but also not wanting to be left behind and wanting more out of the present moment.
The song begins with the lyrics "home grounds, feels like the weight has been lifted away," which can be interpreted as the feeling of coming home and finding comfort in the familiar. However, the fear of missing out on new experiences and wanting more out of life is expressed in the chorus when the vocalist sings, "All you need to know is I want more, more, looking for more, I want more, more, 'cause I want more."
Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency and desperation to find more, as if time is running out, and the vocalist doesn't want to be left behind. There is also a sense of longing for a deeper connection and understanding in relationships, as expressed in the lyrics "just say you will, 'cause I need you there and now" and "if you leap, I'll come falling too, running deep 'til that rivers through."
Overall, "I Want More" is a song that explores the desire for more out of life and relationships, and the fear of missing out on something better. It's a relatable feeling that many people experience, and the song captures this sentiment well.

Starting from the familiar territory
Feels like the weight has been lifted away
Feels like a heavy burden has been removed
But if she leaves me there, I won't run
However, if she abandons me, I won't run away

So light
So effortless
Hold back the night, wait 'til it's right
Delay the darkness, wait for the perfect moment
But then you fold your hand into mine
But then you hold my hand firmly
Watch as the waves, fall back into place
Observe how the ocean's tidal movements return to normalcy
So don't you leave me there wanting more
Therefore, do not abandon me while I still have unfulfilled desires
More, like before, more
More, as previously experienced, more
Turn back, leave all you had
Go back, abandon everything you possessed
Forgive, I'll forget
Forgive my past transgressions, and I will not hold a grudge

Because we require what we once possessed
Time won't stand still
Time does not cease
Just say you will
Promise me that you will

If you leap, I'll come falling too
If you jump, I will follow you without reservation
Running deep 'til that rivers through
Persistently pursuing until the end of the river's course
I don't mind what you have to do
I do not object to what you must do
'Cause I won't think less, less of you
Because I'll always hold you in high esteem

Affirmative, I desire additional things
Old grounds
Familiar earth
Feels like the weight has been lifted away
Sensation of a burden being removed repeats
So don't you leave me there wanting more
Thus, do not abandon me while I still have unfulfilled desires

Kaleo songs make me feel like I've escaped my boring life, all the past wounds have been healed, the world is a bit less dark and I've found peace and serenity somewhere new. Love it.
