More Than Words
Music Travel Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words, is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say, that you love me'Cause I'd already know
What would you do, if my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say, if I took those words away?
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying, I love you
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
Now that I've tried to, talk to you and make you understand
All that you have to do is, close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close, don't ever let me go
More than words, is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say, that you love me
'Cause I'd already know
What would you do, if my heart was torn in two?
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say, if I took those words away?
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying, I love you
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
More than words
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
More than words
In the lyrics of "More Than Words" by Music Travel Love, the central theme revolves around the inadequacy of verbal expressions of love. The singer begins by acknowledging a conventional declaration of love—saying "I love you." However, they assert that simply uttering these words is not enough; rather, they desire a deeper understanding of love that transcends mere verbalization. The singer wishes for their partner to grasp that true affection is better conveyed through actions and genuine emotional connection. This longing for non-verbal communication highlights the idea that love should be felt and embodied rather than simply stated.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses a concern about the superficiality of relying solely on spoken words. They suggest that effective communication in a relationship should involve physical touch and emotional intimacy. The plea for the partner to "show me how you feel" emphasizes that actions—such as holding, touching, and connecting—can convey feelings more profoundly than spoken affirmations. This establishes a contrast between words and actions, suggesting that love demonstrated through tangible gestures is more meaningful and impactful. The refrain "more than words" encapsulates the essence of this sentiment, indicating that verbal proclamations can often fall short in conveying the depth of one’s true emotions.
The lyrics delve deeper into the emotional landscape by posing hypothetical questions about the fragility of love and how it can be tested. The lines "What would you do, if my heart was torn in two?" evoke a sense of vulnerability, implying that love requires more than just verbal affirmations to survive challenges. It becomes clear that the singer is seeking reassurance not only of their partner's words but also of their commitment and emotional availability. The repetition of "more than words" reinforces the message that real love exists in actions taken during moments of turbulence or uncertainty in a relationship. By challenging their partner to reflect on their feelings beyond words, the singer underscores the importance of presence and support.
Ultimately, the call to action in the latter part of the song accentuates the need for a deeper bond and understanding in the relationship. The singer's insistence that the partner simply "close your eyes and just reach out your hands" serves as an invitation to build a more intimate connection through sensory experiences and emotional engagement. This desire is illustrated as a means of fostering a genuine connection that doesn't rely on verbal assurances. The song concludes with a reminder that authentic love is rooted in tangible expressions of devotion and care, establishing that true understanding and connection are achieved through more than just articulating love—it is about embodying it, offering a heartfelt portrayal of love that transcends words.
