Over And Over
Blaire Reinhard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've said goodbye
A one-way ticket on an empty ride
You had your chances not to pull away from me
But all you did was stand there deciding
I'm on my way to the other side
It's time for me to leave it all behind
Over and over
Sometimes I'm happy just to be with you
Over and over
Over and over
Reading letters from another day
Smiling pictures that I've since put away
Remember then
Do you remember how
You used to tell me exactly what was on your mind
I'm on my way to the other side
It's time for me to leave it all behind
Sometimes I wonder why I wanna be with you
Over and over
Sometimes I'm happy just to be with you
Over and over
Over and over
Don't follow me if it's over
Don't turn around
Don't look behind your shoulder
Cause all you'll see is me losing you
Losing you
Over and over
The lyrics of Blaire Reinhard's song "Over and Over" depict the feeling of someone who is ready to move on from a relationship. The opening lines suggest that the singer has already said goodbye and is on their way towards a new chapter. The phrase "one-way ticket on an empty ride" could mean that the singer is leaving their past behind with no intention of returning. The following lines could imply that the other person had their chances of not losing the singer, but they failed to take action. The phrase "stand there deciding" could indicate that the other person was indecisive about their relationship, which ultimately led to its demise.
In the second verse, the singer talks about reminiscing the past by reading old letters and looking at old pictures. The phrase "smiling pictures that I've since put away" implies that the pictures bring back happy memories, but the singer has decided to leave the past behind. The next line talks about how the other person used to be open about their feelings towards the singer. This line suggests that the other person has changed, and their inability to communicate is also a contributing factor in the relationship's downfall.
The chorus repeats twice in the song and talks about how the singer sometimes wonders why they have to be with the other person. The first line could suggest that the singer is questioning why they still have feelings for the other person even though they are ready to move on. The repetition of the phrase "over and over" could indicate that the singer has been through this cycle of questioning their feelings multiple times.
