More Than Words
Whitney & Shannon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You might not be listening, but soon you will
Don't look past me before lookin'
Into a future without lovin'
Could you handle the regret and do it alone
Chorus:
You say you don't need me
You say you're doin' fine
I know that's a lie
If you will give it time
I will solidify
The many reasons why
There's more than meets the eye
One step in my direction, come back now if you want to feel
Better than those who feel so good, better than you do
Repeat Chorus
And you say that I won't, but I will
And you're holdin' me back, but I still think
That I could be all you need
You can't walk away from me once I get inside your head
You might not be listening, but soon you will
Repeat Chorus

I disagree. The only parts of this cover I don't love are when he is singing in his falsetto, though I adore his riff on the word "away."
