When It's Over
ÌðÃÛÉäÏß(Sugar Ray) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When it's over
That's the time I fall in love again
And when it's over
That's the time you're in my heart again
And when you go go go go
I know
And it never ends
It never ends

[Chorus:]
All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window
All the things that she used to bring
All the songs she used to sing
All the favorite tv shows
Have gone out the window

I'm missing you
I never knew how much she'd loved me
I'm missing you
I never knew how much you meant to me
I need you and when you go go go go
I know
It never ends
Never ends

[Chorus:]
All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window
All the things that she used to bring
All the songs she used to sing
All the favorite tv shows
Have gone out the window

I'm wishing you
You never said you were pretending
I'm wishing you
You feel the same and just come back to me
I need you and when you go go go go
I know
It never ends
It never ends
When it's over
Can I still come over
And when it's over
Is it really over
When it's over
That's the time I fall in love again

[Chorus:]
All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window
All the things that she used to bring
All the songs she used to sing
All the favorite tv shows
Have gone out the window

All the things that I used to say
All the words that got in the way
All the things that I used to know
Have gone out the window
All the things that she used to bring
All the songs she used to sing




All the favorite tv shows
Have gone out the window

@KennethColeman426

nate hazel Hey Nate. I will tell you secret of time Travel. Here's what you'll need. #1. The hardware: Any device that replicates sound. #2. The software: A large amount of, records, tapes, CD's. #3. A CPU: Your imagination. With these three, you will be able to go to any time, or any place you desire. Even you yourself started as a thought in the imagination of your Dad, when he first saw
your mother. Well, there you have it Nate the 
secret to time, space and the universe. Now you can go any where. But just don't come 
to my house, because I'm trying to make out 
with a cute little cantaloupe I met in the grocery store today. What can I say dude,
Watermelons need love too. See you out there in the theater of the mind. 

@natehazel7121

Thank you, I'm gonna get started on it right now

Man ! Sugar Ray is just one of those groups that give me so much 90s and y2k nostalgia.. it’s such an equally amazing and depressing feeling . We can’t go back and you just had to be there to know why it’s so missed ❤😢

@anaruggieri4247

Bad idea going back here

@BeaugosseRiche

Right, let's enjoy Tik Tok stupidity, widespread depression and suicidal ideas, the loss of freedom of speech and thought, and 2 million dollar townhouses.@@anaruggieri4247

@XxLIVRAxX

This is actually a 2000s song (2001). The late 90s vibes were still kicking
