“More” tells the story of someone important pulling away from you because they have a difficult time opening up to people and it’s easier and simpler to just not try. The track appears on Elyse Shackleton’s debut album, Car Conversations.
[Verse 1]
The night you said goodbye to me
You held my hand and silently
You said "sorry," I said "don't be"
You couldn't stay and I couldn't sleep
The drive you said you'd pull away
I argued and you said "too late"
I held your hand along the way
You let me 'cause you couldn't stay
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The week before I noticed things
The way you spoke, you couldn't eat
He said that you'd come back to me
But I knew, I knew differently
[Chorus 1]
Darling, if I'm not mistaken
I can feel my heart is breaking
Leave me here but don't let go
I need you more than I think you know
It's meant to be, can't you feel it?
The night you left you left me reeling
You said you didn't wanna let go
I need you more than I think you know
[Verse 2]
The night you looked me in the eye
I didn't know what you meant when you said goodbye
You said "sorry", I said "me too"
And I knew what you felt you needed to do
I could feel you start to slip away
Not just from me, but from every place
The whole next week I thought and paced
I couldn't sleep you weren't okay
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So I resolved to see you through
Not much that I wouldn't do
I know the path is yours to choose
But it might bring me back to you
[Chorus 2]
'Cause Darling, if I'm not mistaken
I think we all might need some saving
Leave me here but I won't let go
I need you more than I think you know
It's meant to be, can't you feel it?
The night you left, you left me reeling
You said you didn't wanna let go
I need you more than I think you know
[Verse 3]
The night you said goodbye to me
I should have seen it coming
You said "sorry" and I knew why
It hurts too much to try
You were restless from the start
It wasn't new, it was always hard
I didn't know how to comfort you
But I needed to be there for you
[Pre-Chorus 3]
So I resolved patiently
To wait for you to see
Oh, I've watched you struggling
But it might bring you back to me
I resolved to see you through
Not much that I wouldn't do
I know the path is yours to choose
But it might bring me back to you
[Chorus 3]
'Cause Darling, if I'm not mistaken
Things have been changing lately
Leave me here but I won't let go
I need you more than I think you know
It's meant to be, can't you feel it?
The night you left you left me reeling
You said you didn't wanna let go
I need you more than I think you know
[Chorus 4]
'Cause Darling, if I'm not mistaken
Things have been changing lately
Leave me here but I won't let go
I need you more than I think you know
It's meant to be, can't you feel it?
The night you left you left me reeling
You said you didn't wanna let go
I need you more than I think you know
