## Background

In an interview with Teen Vogue, VanderWaal stated that "'So Much More Than This' is about just getting tangled up in all of the drama and stuff that really does not matter, and probably won't matter in like, three months. It's about thinking that [something is] the end of the world when there's so much more you can be thinking about. There's so much more than that, I guess. And being able to try it and see what will make you happy."

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sit right here, chill, level low

Close your eyes and just let it flow

Right next to me I hear your heart beat, beat

When the dial turns up and the music starts playing

We don't realize in this society

Doesn't matter how your hair looks, so what they are thinking

Just, just what we are finding

[Pre-Chorus]

Tap your foot and listen in

Ignore the world, let the music cave in

Close your phone and breathe in the air

You'll soon realize that there's something that is

[Chorus]

So much more than this

It is what it is

So much more than this

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (hey)

So much more than this

It is what it is

So much more than this

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]

The whole crowd seems to like me now

'Cause I think I'm cool but back when I was in school

They found it very easy to hate me

Funny how always these times are changing

Back then it was so easy to shatter

But now in the end it doesn't really matter

[Pre-Chorus]

Tap your foot and listen in

Ignore the world, let the music cave in

Close your phone and breathe in the air

You'll soon realize that there's something that is

[Chorus]

So much more than this

It is what it is

So much more than this

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (hey)

So much more than this

It is what it is

So much more than this

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]

All of the talk, and the talk from ya

Won't even matter when the lights come up

All of the talk, and the talk from ya, hey

Open your eyes and just wake up

Do all the things that will matter to ya

Open your eyes and just wake up, woah

[Pre-Chorus]

Tap your foot and listen in

Ignore the world, let the music cave in

Close your phone and breathe in the air

You'll soon realize that there's something that is

[Chorus]

So much more than this

It is what it is

So much more than this

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You'll soon realize that there's something that is

So much more than this

It is what it is

So much more than this

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Outro]

So much more than this

It is what it is

So much more than this

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
