More
Michael Patrick Walker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Meghan, it's me. Can we talk?
I know you're busy but maybe we can take a walk.
Right... Bad idea.
Look, Brian is a good guy and he cares for you alot.
Brian is a good guy, I don't mean to say he's not.
What I really mean, what I'm trying to say... Deep breath. Okay.
I could give you more
So much more than Brian could
I could give you more
And I swear I would
I'm pouring my heart out to a door...
Please open up and let me give you more!
Meghan. Still me!
I'm sure you're suprised...
For years I've kept the way I feel about you pretty well disguised
But I can't keep quiet when you're settling this way.
Brian is... Fine.
Like a partly cloudy day.
But you deserve a sky that's clear and blue
Let me give it to you!
I could give you more
I'm an ocean, he's a lake
I could give you more. he's a burger, I'm a steak
Love's not something you can just ignore.
Let me in and let me give you more!
I know I should have told you before you put on your dress
And before I see that your parents are in the front row.
I'm sorry that I'm turning your big day into a mess
But I love you and I thought you should know
I could give you more
I'm a forest, he's a tree
I could give you more. He's the lock and I'm the key
Give me a chance to show you what's in store!
I swear to you that I will give you more
I'm champagne, he's diet sprite
I'll give you more
He's wrong and I'm right
I'll give you more
He's the desert, I'm the nile
I'll give you more
Just don't walk down that aisle!
Whatever you decide, I'm sure your life will be great
Sorry for the drama and for making you late
But if he doesn't make you happy, if you're ever less than sure
I'll be here to give you everything you need
Everything you want




Everything
And more!

Overall Meaning

The song "More" by Michael Patrick Walker is a love song that tells the story of a man who has been in love with a woman named Meghan for years but has never revealed his feelings to her until her wedding day. He tries to convince her that he can give her more than her current partner, Brian, and that he has more to offer. He tells her that he could give her a better life, that he could love her more, and that he could be so much more if she just gives him a chance.


The song starts with the man calling Meghan and asking if they could talk. He talks about how he has always hidden his feelings from her, but now he can't hold it back anymore. He then tries to convince her that Brian is a good guy, but he could give her more than Brian could. He compares himself to an ocean while he compares Brian to a lake, and he says he could give her a clear blue sky while Brian is just partly cloudy. He then reveals that he is at her wedding, and he knows he should have told her before, but he couldn't resist the chance to tell her how he feels.


The song's message is clear: love is powerful and can make you do crazy things. The man in the song is driven by his love for Meghan, and he is willing to risk everything to tell her how he feels. The song is a reminder that we should all strive to find the person who can give us more and to never settle for less than what we deserve.
