This song is about a girl who craves hearing her favorite song the radio. But it is more than just a girl in her bedroom waiting. It turns into this ritual of self-expression and freedom. When that song comes on the radio, she can be herself, let all the masks fade away and just “be.” She becomes "More Than We See."
lyrics
She turns the dial, looking for that sound
She knows the voice well, only she can tell, if you
Spin the words right, make her would go ‘round
She’s too serious for this kind of play
Hiding in her mind, so lost she can’t find
Herself believing she’d be better that way
Pre-Chorus:
Somewhere there’s a secret verse
And a perfect rhyme
Make her heart beat in time
Chorus:
She turns the radio on
As she sings along
Her guard falls down
That’s when she gets to be
More than we see
She hears that voice, it’s calling her home
Could she more than, an imaginary fan
Please keep singing, so she’s not so alone
Pre-Chorus 2:
And maybe it’s enough
And maybe she’ll be fine
Will her heart will beat in time?
Chorus
Chorus
Pre-Chorus 2
Pre-Chorus 3:
And if you listen close
You’ll hear the only line
To make her heart beat in time
