Technically, Rizzle Kicks was founded in about 1996, when both members, in their miniature form, used to play together, round Rizzle's aunties house. It wasn't until 8 years later when the pair re-found each other, after both moving to Brighton and joining the local Sunday league, by facing each other head-on in a football match. 4 years later, they ended up going to the same college, and one day when Rizzle got Sylvester to 'Lalala' all over a track, he then realised that the kind of style Sylvester had fitted in nicely with the sound that was growing. Jordan and Harley were signed by Island Records after making a series of videos to accompany their songs.

I Love You More Than You Think
Rizzle Kicks Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's move on from that...
I've realized sometimes I'm terrible
I've done things out of fear of the inevitable
There's been times when I've talked from my genitals
Or we've warred intellectually
Tried to pull the other off their pedestal
And yeah, I do win arguments so face it
And you hate that I love it, but you hate it
Then I forget to remind you of your greatness
And I never want you feeling unappreciated

I, I, I, I, I
I love you more than you think
I, I, I love you
I, I, I love you

I know there's been times when you've questioned my interest
Things have been said in jest
Accept I was never gonna treat you like a princess
Things got too intense
I didn't always wanna be there when you beckoned, I
Struggled with feelings inside
But believe that I'd be there in a second
If I was ever need by your side, alright
I think that we know that we know each other really well
I know I wanna know you for the rest of my life
Because no matter the length of time that's gone by
When I see you, it's fine
It's like I just saw you last night
And there's times when I've acted stupid
I suppose I'm just learning, it's different
But nothing is useless
I know that I love you without any terms or conditions

All I want is for you to be there
All I want is for you, you to be there

Let's move on from that...
Let's change topics and move forward from the previous subject

I've realized sometimes I'm terrible
I've come to the realization that sometimes I'm not a great person

I've done things out of fear of the inevitable
I've made poor choices out of the fear of what might happen

There's been times when I've talked from my genitals
I've said things impulsively without thinking them through

Or we've warred intellectually
We've argued or had debates with each other

Tried to pull the other off their pedestal
Tried to take the other down a notch or prove them wrong

And yeah, I do win arguments so face it
I've been in situations where I've won arguments or debates

And you hate that I love it, but you hate it

I love you more than you think
I have more love for you than you realize

I know there's been times when you've questioned my interest
I understand that you've had doubts about my levels of interest in you

Things have been said in jest
Some things have been said as a joke or in a lighthearted manner

Accept I was never gonna treat you like a princess
I may not have treated you as if you were royalty

Things got too intense
The situation became too serious or overwhelming

I didn't always wanna be there when you beckoned, I
I didn't always want to be there for you when you called my name

Struggled with feelings inside
I had difficulty dealing with my own emotions

But believe that I'd be there in a second
I want you to know that I would be there for you at a moment's notice

If I was ever need by your side, alright
I'd be there to support you if you needed me

I think that we know that we know each other really well
We have a deep understanding of each other

I know I wanna know you for the rest of my life
I want to be with you for the rest of my life

Because no matter the length of time that's gone by
Even after years have passed

When I see you, it's fine
Everything is okay when I see you

It's like I just saw you last night
It feels like I only recently spent time with you

And there's times when I've acted stupid
I've made foolish decisions or acted foolishly at times

I suppose I'm just learning, it's different
I'm still learning and growing, things are constantly changing

But nothing is useless
Even the difficult times serve a purpose or have some value

I know that I love you without any terms or conditions
I love you unconditionally, with no strings attached

All I want is for you to be there
All I want is for you to be in my life

All I want is for you, you to be there
All I want is for you to be by my side
