I've got it all, but I feel so deprived
I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
And why can't I let go

There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more
(Than wanting more)

I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment I'm half way out the door
Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing

There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more
(Than wanting more)

I'm always waiting on something other than this
Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed.....

    General Comment:I love this song. Stacie Orrico is a great and true artist with such great talent. She has amazing voice, attitude, songs, and beauty--inside and outside. This song can be interpreted any way, but I think that the theme is that life is full of ups and downs, for nothing in life is permanant. We can't depend on fortune, fame, love, partying, drugs, or things that seems like the most important at particular moments, but which turn out to be emptiness. We must look inside ourselves and trust ourselves and the Lord God for what is true. For, what is true can't be change or denied, but what is an illusion is leaving. For, it was never there to begin with. So, to hold onto riches, fame, a career, a love interest, etc. is foolish unless you have God.

    General Comment:I've always thought that she was talking about drugs, too.

    For me, the song is about how she's unhappy with her life. She has a lot, but not anything that matters to her, and it makes her feel like she's lost and searching for something to fill that void.

    Love this song.

    General Comment:To me, this song is about her wanting more out of life then what she is "supposed" to do. Get a job, get a place, get a man? Either way, she wants to know if there is anything more to this life then just going moment to moment trying to find something to keep her happy for a minute... she wants something that lasts.

    General Comment:I love this song :)

    And I hate to break it to you, but... she's a Christian singer. Her music is Christian. So we're not shoving it down anyone's throat by saying that. Yes, you can interpret it anyway you want and maybe to you it's not about God, but she's still a Christian singer, so you can't say it's absolutely NOT about God.
    Here's a brief biography of her if you don't believe me...

    And I don't mean to be rude, I'm not directing this at anybody, I just see that a lot on Christian songs and it's kind of annoying.

    General Comment:i think its about drugs
    i mean theres a lot of references there
    "temporary high"
    "Tripping out"
    i think shes doing the drugs and shes figured that thats not it theres something else :]
    its hardly about reilgion tho
    can you see any religous references (Y)

    General Comment:Anybody could make their own interpretations of the song, it's their own opinion. So don't say it's *just* all about God, because for some others it could be about something else too!

    Anyways, I think this song is about wanting something more. Maybe perhaps she was bored with everyday life; it has gotten so routinely that she feels like she's a robot.

    That's my take on it.
