Over You
DWY Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standin' on the edge of somethin' new
Breaks your heart I'm finally over you
Windin' down the waters of the flume
Like turquoise you came out the blue
You drove down the street in your yellow Bugatti
Left standing in the rain yelling 'beam me up scotty'
But now, I'm so over you
Over you

Over over
Over you
Standin' on the edge what a view
In the distance I still see you
Somethin' old somethin' borrowed somethin' blue
Your dreams were never made for two You
drove down the street in your yellow Bugatti
Splashed with a puddle as you left in a hurry
But now, I'm so over you Over you
Over over
Over you
Over you
Over you
Over over

Over you
I'm so over you, I'm so I'm so over you

Line by Line Meaning

Standin' on the edge of somethin' new
Standing on the cusp of a new beginning

Breaks your heart I'm finally over you
Though it's bittersweet, I've moved on from you

Windin' down the waters of the flume
Flowing through life's ups and downs

Like turquoise you came out the blue
You appeared out of nowhere, unexpected

You drove down the street in your yellow Bugatti
You flaunted your wealth and status

Left standing in the rain yelling 'beam me up scotty'
You left me alone, helpless and forsaken

But now, I'm so over you
I've moved beyond the pain of missing you

Over you
I've let go of you completely

Standin' on the edge what a view
Being on the brink of change gives a sense of possibility

In the distance I still see you
Memories of you still linger
