More and More

The speaker describes love as something that keeps increasing with time. At first, the relationship feels sweet and beneficial; as the song continues, the feeling becomes more intense and dependent. The speaker promises lasting loyalty, while also suggesting that losing the beloved would cause deep damage.

Several comparisons make this love easy to picture. Calling the beloved “like medicine” suggests she makes the speaker feel better, while “like honey” emphasizes sweetness. The image of a drifting ship conveys separation and uncertainty. Saying she controls his “destiny” gives her great power over his future, though this may be passionate exaggeration rather than a literal claim.

The song can be heard as a joyful declaration of devotion, especially in its repeated refrain and promises to stay by her side. Yet its intensity has a more uneasy edge: the speaker says her departure would destroy what took a lifetime to build, and jokes that he stands “accused” of loving her too much. This could be playful romantic language, or it could hint at dependence and fear of losing the relationship. The lyrics leave that tension unresolved.
