More Than Us
Travis Lyrics

More than us
We are not alone in this world and there are others like us

And we are them
We are not different from others, but we often fail to see that

But they don't know
The others around us are unaware of what they have

What's in their hands
They possess something of value that they may not realize

It's more than you
The experience or the feeling is greater than what one person can comprehend

And it's more than I
The experience or the feeling is greater than what I can comprehend

But it's more
The experience or the feeling transcends beyond individuals and is greater than all of us

And everybody calls it love
This transcendent feeling is often labeled as love by many people

But I'm not really sure if it's love
But the songwriter is uncertain if this feeling is truly love

At all, no not anymore
The certainty he had of this feeling being love has faded away

More than he
Others, like him, experience this transcendent feeling

More than she
Both men and women experience this transcendent feeling

They all sleep
Everyone sleeps, but the songwriter and others like him dream and aspire for something more

But we just dream
They only dream and haven't taken any action towards achieving their aspirations

It's more or less
The differences between their aspirations and others’ aspirations are insignificant

Means more for us
Their aspirations mean more to them than they may mean to others

But it's more
Their aspirations are still part of the transcendent feeling experienced by many

Everybody wants a hand
Everyone wants help, but the songwriter is too preoccupied to assist anyone

But I'm too busy holding up the world
The songwriter feels obligated to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders

To carry on
He is looking for relief from his duties

Oh, not anymore
He is tired and doesn't want to continue holding up the world anymore

I wish that I
The songwriter desires something more for himself

Could fly, fly, fly away
He wishes to escape the burdens he is carrying on his back

And if I should fall
He realizes that even if he tries to fly away and fails, he will need someone's help

And you hear me call
He asks for help from his loved one

Would you stay
He wants reassurance that his loved one will be there for him when he needs them

Now more than us (more than us)
The transcendent feeling is even stronger now that he has someone to share it with

And we are them (we are them)
The songwriter and his loved one are part of this transcendent feeling that many others experience

They don't know
Others are still unaware of the transcendent feeling and their aspirations

What's in their heads (what's in their heads)
Others may not realize what they possess and can achieve

It's more than you (more than you)
The songwriter's loved one is not alone in experiencing this transcendent feeling

But it's more
The transcendent feeling is even greater now that it is shared between two people

And everybody calls it love
The transcendent feeling is still labeled by many as love, now even more so because of its shared nature

But I'm not really sure if this is love
But the songwriter is still uncertain if this feeling is truly love

At all
He is uncertain and questioning everything he thought he knew

No, not anymore, oh
He has lost his confidence in what he believed was true

Anymore
He repeats this word to emphasize his loss of confidence and change in perspective

Anymore
He repeats this word to emphasize his loss of confidence and change in perspective

Anymore
He repeats this word to emphasize his loss of confidence and change in perspective

Anymore
He repeats this word to emphasize his loss of confidence and change in perspective

Anymore
He repeats this word to emphasize his loss of confidence and change in perspective

Anymore
He repeats this word to emphasize his loss of confidence and change in perspective
