Movin' On
Bananarama Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know I'll miss you
When you're gone
And I can't pretend
That I know when
Our love started to go wrong

I know we planned to stay together
We just ran into stormy weather
We couldn't see the dark clouds in the sky

But I had no way of knowing
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'm movin' on

We talked it over
We've said it all
But who could say
It would be this way
But the writing's on the wall

And now the sun has finally set and
This is where the story ends we
Didn't count upon a rainy day

But I had no way of knowing
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'm movin' on

But I had no way of knowing
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
I know we planned to stay together
We just ran into stormy weather
We couldn't see the dark clouds in the sky

But I had no way of knowing
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'm movin' on

But I had no way of knowing
And I don't know where I'm going
But I'm movin' on

I'm movin' on
But I had no way of knowing




And I don't know where I'm going
But I'm movin' on

You know I'll miss you
I'll miss you when you're not around


When you're gone
When you're not here with me


And I can't pretend
I can't act like everything is okay


That I know when
I don't even know the exact moment this happened


Our love started to go wrong
Our relationship started to deteriorate


I know we planned to stay together
We intended to have a long-term relationship


We just ran into stormy weather
We went through some difficult times


We couldn't see the dark clouds in the sky
We didn't know things would get so bad


But I had no way of knowing
I couldn't predict this would happen


And I don't know where I'm going
I don't have a clear path ahead


But I'm movin' on
But I'm doing my best to move forward


We talked it over
We had a conversation


We've said it all
We've talked about everything


But who could say
But there's no way to tell


It would be this way
Things would turn out like this

But it's clear what's going to happen


And now the sun has finally set and
Now the day is over and


This is where the story ends we
This is the end of us

We didn't plan for things to get difficult

I'm trying to move forward


I'm movin' on
I'm still trying to move forward

But I'm trying to keep going


I'm movin' on
I'm still trying to move forward


But I had no way of knowing
I had no idea what would happen


And I don't know where I'm going
I don't have direction yet


But I'm movin' on
But I'm still trying to make progress
