Oh Lover
Atlas Bound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And how we'll end up
But I guess things are worse than I thought
I asked you
Our days are numbered but I can't come to terms with it
And I need you around for my happiness
You think it's already over
Gone, my concern
You think it's already over
For you it's already over
And I feel your sorrows
They fall, they fall
But I know tomorrow will come, will come
And I hoped you wouldn't make this harder
Than we needed, presumed,
And that would benefit no one
And oh lover, I can tell you you're hard to get over
I still learn, I still learn
For what, what it's worth
You think it's already over
Gone, my concern
You think it's already over
For what, what it's worth
You think it's already over
Gone, my concern
You think it's already over

I know you're opinion on us
I am aware of your views about our relationship
And how we'll end up
And your prediction of how our relationship will end
But I guess things are worse than I thought
But it seems the situation is even more dire than I had imagined
I asked you
I enquired of you
Our days are numbered but I can't come to terms with it
Although our time together is limited, I am unable to accept it
And I need you around for my happiness
I require your presence for my own joy
For what, what it's worth
Regardless of its value
You think it's already over
You believe that it has already ended
Gone, my concern
My feelings on the matter are unimportant
For you it's already over
To you, it has already concluded
And I feel your sorrows
I empathize with your pain
They fall, they fall
They continue to afflict you
But I know tomorrow will come, will come
However, I remain confident that a new day will arrive
And I hoped you wouldn't make this harder
I wished that you would not complicate matters further
Than we needed, presumed,
Beyond what was necessary or expected
And that would benefit no one
And this would be of no advantage to either of us
And oh lover, I can tell you you're hard to get over
My dearest, I confess that parting with you will not be easy
I still learn, I still learn
But even in this difficulty, I continue to grow and gain insight
