About More Than Us

"More Than Us" is the fifth and final single to be released from Indie band Travis' debut album Good Feeling. It became the group's first UK Singles Chart Top 20 single, and is known for being the song that influenced their mainstream breakthrough. The single was released under the title of the More Than Us E. P., as both physical releases featured three previously unreleased recordings. The single's artwork, which depicts a rear view of four chairs behind a table, is strikingly similar to the cover for the band's 2000 single, "Coming Around".

More than us
And we are them
But they don't know
What's in their hands
It's more than you
And it's more than
I but it's more
And everybody calls it love
But I'm not really sure if it's love
At all

Not anymore
More than he
More than she
They all sleep
But we just dream
More or less
Means more for us
But it's more
And everybody wants a hand
But I'm too busy holding up the world
To carry on

No not anymore
I wish that I
Could fly fly fly away
And if I should fall
And you hear me call
Would you stay
More than us
And we are them

But they don't know
What's in our heads
It's more than you
And it's more than
I but it's more
And everybody calls it love
But I'm not really sure if this is love
At all

Not anymore
Anymore
Anymore
