"So Much More Than This"
"So Much More Than This"
Lyrics by Kyle Rich
Musical concept by Tori Amos from "Silent All These Years"

I want her to be the one to understand
I want to lift the girl and take her in my hand
I want the earth to rise and the heavens make the people shut up,
So she can see me

I feel deeds of the heroes past
If I can't escape the myth, then... Now what comes?
What if I fall from the heavens when the people shut up,
But she can't see me?

And I feel so lonely, when I cannot hold her
But I feel her inside of me
And when I dream, I see her
It's so strong, I can't explain,
It feels like love but it's much, more...

So much more than this

I want her heart to beat the same as mine
Because love is all it takes to make me smile
But what if I sang her song in her time of need,
But she can't hear me?

I want to say what I know I can't,
But if words aren't spoken, then... Now what comes?
What if I spoke with emotion and a tear in my eye,
But she can't feel me?

And I feel so lonely, when I cannot hold her
But I feel her inside of me
And when I dream, I see her
It's so strong, I can't explain,
It feels like love but it's much, more...

So much more than...

...Tears I've cried while waiting in a window and watching rain drops falling down
...Dreams I've shared while staring at the ceiling and knowing someday this will end
...Prayers I've made to a heaven that is nowhere and hoping God will understand
Or opening my heart, and letting you see me, see me, free me

I can't explain what is happening
I feel so small when I try to rise
I've promised you so much, but baby, when I stand up,
I'm not that tall

I want her to be the one to understand
But I'm so afraid to move, that... Now what comes?
But what if I fall from the heavens when the people shut up,
And she could see me

Cause I have felt so lonely, when I cannot hold her
But I feel her inside of me
And when I dream, I see her
It's so strong, I can't explain, I can't explain,
It feels like love but it's much, more...

So much more than this

It feels, more,

So much more than this
