Little Bit Louder
Mimi Webb Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I could love you a little bit louder
Say that I'm not happy without you
Guess I'm afraid, oh, I'm afraid you'll run away
When I start loving you louder

I can be cold, so out of reach
You say I'm hard to believe
All in my head, and nothing you said gets through to me

(Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh)

So if it feels like we're fading
Getting so tired of all this waiting
I've seen a million words, screaming out every verse that you know

But I could love you a little bit louder
Say that I'm not happy without you
Guess I'm afraid, oh, I'm afraid you'll run away
When I start loving you louder, a little bit louder
I could kiss you a little bit harder
Hold your hands so that you know that I want you
Guess I'm afraid, oh, I'm afraid you'll run away
When I start loving you louder, a little bit louder

It's getting too old, these feelings on hold
Maybe it's time to let it show
There's so much love, burns like a fire inside of me
(Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh)

So if it feels like we're fading (it feels like)
Getting so tired of all this waiting
I've seen a million words, screaming out every verse that you know

But I could love you a little bit louder
Say that I'm not happy without you
Guess I'm afraid, oh, I'm afraid you'll run away
When I start loving you louder, a little bit louder
I could kiss you a little bit harder
Hold your hands so that you know that I want you

Guess I'm afraid, oh, I'm afraid you'll run away
When I start loving you louder, a little bit louder

Overall Meaning

Mimi Webb's "Little Bit Louder" is a song about longing for deeper connection and intimacy in a relationship. The lyrics describe the singer's fear of expressing her love too loudly and driving her partner away. She acknowledges her tendency to be cold and distant, but also the intense fire of love that burns inside of her. The chorus repeats the phrase "I could love you a little bit louder," emphasizing the desire to break through emotional barriers and fully express her feelings.

The song creates a sense of tension and yearning through its sparse instrumentation (mostly just piano and drums) and Webb's emotive vocals. The verses are introspective and vulnerable, while the chorus is a cathartic release of pent-up passion. The final repetition of the chorus ends on a hopeful note, with the line "when I start loving you louder, a little bit louder" suggesting that the singer is ready to take a risk and open herself up to love.

Overall, "Little Bit Louder" is an emotionally resonant song that captures the universal struggle of trying to balance vulnerability and self-protection in a relationship.
