Over My Shoulder
48th St. Collective Lyrics

Yeah
Expression of agreement

looking back over my shoulder
Reflecting on the past

I can see that look in your eye
Noticing a certain expression in the other's eyes

I never dreamed it could be over
Surprised by the thought of the ending

I never wanted to say goodbye
Unwillingness to part ways

With an aching deep in my heart
Feeling of sorrow

I wish we were starting over
Desire to begin anew

Oh, instead of drifting so far apart
Regret of growing distant

Everybody told me you were leaving
Hearing about the other's departure from others

Funny I should be the last to know
Surprised that they were not the first to know

Baby, please tell me that I'm dreaming
Hoping that it's all just a dream

I just never want to let you go
Not wanting to lose the other person

Turning my heart over and over
Disrupting one's peace of mind

I don't mind everybody laughing
Indifference towards others' opinions

But it's enough to make a grown man cry
Feeling emotional pain

'Cause I can feel you slipping through my fingers
Feeling like the other is slipping away

I don't even know the reason why
Uncertainty about the cause of the situation

Everyday, it's a losing battle
Struggling to cope with the situation

Just to smile and hold my head up high
Trying to maintain composure

Could it be that we belong together
Questioning the possibility of rekindling the relationship

Baby, won't you give me one more try, one more try?
Asking for another chance

Oh, with an aching (there's an ache feeling inside)
Painful feeling

Cutting me up, oh, deeper and deeper
Causing more emotional pain

Fills me with a sadness that I can't hide
Feeling of overwhelming sadness

Looking back, looking back over my shoulder
Continuation of reflection on the past
