Gettin' Over You
Chris Willis;David Guetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I only knew back then
There's no gettin' over, no gettin' over
There's just no gettin' over you
Wish I could spin my world into reverse
Just to have you back again
There's no gettin' over, there's no gettin' over
(Bring it back)
Hey, hey, I can't forget you, baby
I think about you everyday
I tried to masquerade the pain
That's why I'm next to the booth
D-d-d-dancin' to the groove
But, but there is no, there is no
(There's no gettin' over you)
Baby, it feels so (right)
To dance to the beat of the (night)
That heat between you and I
Freak, freak 'til the morning light
We like to live life (fast)
And pour them shots up in the (glass)
But there is no, there is no
(There's no gettin' over you)
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and party
And party, and party, and
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and
All the things I know right now
If I only knew back then
There's no gettin' over, no gettin' over
There's just no gettin' over you
Wish I could spin my world into reverse
Just to have you back again
There's no gettin' over, there's no gettin' over
There's just no gettin' over you
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and party
And party, and party, and
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and party
And party, and party, and
I'ma party, and party, and party
People in the place
If you've ever felt love
Then you know, yeah, you know
What I'm talkin' about
There's no gettin' over
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and party
And party, and party, and
I'ma party, and party
And party and par' and par' and party
And party, and party, and
There's no gettin' over
The lyrics of the song "Gettin Over" by Chris Willis speaks about the heartbreak the singer feels and the inability to move on from a past love. The opening lines “All the things I know right now, if I only knew back then, there’s no getting over, no getting over, there’s just no getting over you” implies that the singer has learned from his past mistakes and regrets not realizing them sooner. The following lines, “Wish I could spin my world into reverse, just to have you back again” express his longing and wanting to turn back time to have his love again. The repetition of the line, “there’s no getting over you” emphasizes the main theme of the song which is the inability to move on from a past love.
The pre-chorus, “Hey, hey, I can't forget you, baby, I think about you every day, I tried to masquerade the pain, that's why I'm next to the booth, dancing to the groove” implies that the singer is trying to mask his pain by dancing and partying but deep down he still can't forget his love. The chorus, “there's just no getting over you, baby, it feels so right, to dance to the beat of the night” shows that despite the pain he feels, he still enjoys the present moment and living in the moment.
The repeated line “I'ma party, and party, and party” towards the end of the song suggests that the singer is trying to distract himself from his pain by partying and living life to the fullest, but deep down he knows that there’s just no getting over his love. Overall, the song is about the struggles of moving on from a past love despite the singer's attempt to mask his pain.
