Over You
Acceptance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hopeless
A single word that you would not expect from me, from me
I take it like it's coming from an enemy
The scene was meant to be
I see it coming after all the worst of me would fall
Make this now or never
See it on my face I'm getting over you
Make this now or never
I'm getting over you
The place it takes me now
Well is it far enough
I'm getting over you
Make this now or never

Countless
The moments I would kill to keep this day away, away
I see it coming after all the worst of me would fall
I take it like it's coming from my greatest enemy
Make this now or never
See it on my face I'm getting over you

Make this now or never
I'm getting over you
The place it takes me now
Well is it far enough
I'm getting over you
Make this now or never
Hopeless
I don't have to take this
Countless
See it on my face
Getting over you
Oh oh oh oh, getting over you

See it on my face
I'm getting over you
Make this now or never
I'm getting over you
The place it takes me now
Well is it far enough
I'm getting over you
Make this now or never
Hopeless
I don't have to take this
Make this now or never
Countless
See it on my face




I'm getting over you
Make this now or never
