More Than This Lyrics

Cradling stones
Hold fire bright
As crickets call out
To the moonlight
And as you lean in
To steal a kiss
I'll never need more than this.

We all share the pain
of our histories
but the ache goes away
if you could see
This night under stars
well i call it peace
if you say ill never need more than this

And the trees grow so thick
you can barely see through
and the forest bestows
all the simplest of truths
and you think you'll be happy
if granted one more wish.
but the truth is,
you'll never need more,
you'll never need more ,
you'll never need more than this.

Want so much in this life
There's so much to be
we sail through our youth
so impatiently
until we see
that the years move along
and soldiers and heroes come home
and they carry a song dont...

Live in forgotten times
may this always remind
you of the sea under the skies
you looking glass ?
lets make this our story
lets live in the glory
time it fades away precious as a song
cuz someday we'll be gone.

Cradling stones
hold fire bright.
as we watch the glow
of the morning light
someday our bones here they will lie.
and so we sing.

As the years move along
and soldiers and heroes come home
and they carry a song
lets make this our story
lets live in the glory
time it fades away precious as a song
cuz someday we'll be gone.

I think this song is about how she is in a relationship which she is completely and totally happy with and feels that it's all she needs, her partner seems to want more and shes telling him he doesn't need anything more than her.

"lets make this our story lets live in the glory "

I think she is trying to say they should just be totally happy witheachother and just live to the full together because "time if fades away"

i really like this song!

I agree with jordaaan.

"and you think you'll be happy / if granted one more wish / but the truth is / you'll never need more than this" is pretty self explanatory - jus appreciate what you've got, the present, the time is now cos "time it fades away ... someday we'll be gone".

Jeez this song gives me goosebumps.

I can't wait to get this CD. I'm listening to the samples and I'm getting excited :p

But I agree with everyone else. This song is about how happy she is with her life and love.

Lovely and amazing.

"And as you lean in To steal a kiss I'll never need more than this."

Sigh! It reminds me of another song, "love is all you need." You can have another wish if you want, like Vanessa sings, but in the end, love is what truly makes us happy.

I also like these lines: "We all share the pain of our histories but the ache goes away "

Our pasts are sometimes hard to accept, but love makes pain go away. "Live in the glory," the glory of love, the love of now.

Cover art for More Than This lyrics by Vanessa Carlton

Amazing song, but "Don't" should be attached to "live in forgotten times".. Since that's what the line is saying: "Don't live in forgotten times"

The choral work in this song is what makes it amazing for me. Absolutely incredible.

When I heard Vanessa Live she said this song was about how if everybody thought that they never needed more than what they have, then That would mean instant bliss, and if we all work hard we could achieve that. yep
