Getting Over You
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 getting over you
Wish I could spin my world into reverse
Just to have you back again
There's no gettin' over
There's just no getting over you, no, no
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 roof
D-d-d dancing to the groove
But there is no, there is no getting over you
Baby, it feels so (right)
To dance to the beat of (night)
That heat between you and I
Freak freak to the morning light
We like to live like (that)
And pour them shots up in the (glass)
But there is no, there is no getting over you
I'm-a party and party and party and party
And party and party and party
I'm-a party and party and party and party
And party and party and party
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 getting 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 getting over you
I'm a party, and party and party and party
And party and party and party
I'm a party, and party and party and party
And party and party and party
People in the place
If you've ever felt love
Then you know, yeah, you know, what I'm talking about
There is no getting over
I'm a party, and party and party and party
And party and party and party
I'm a party, and party and party and party
And party and party and party
The lyrics to "Gettin’ Over You" by David Guetta, Chris Willis, and Fergie, talk about heartbreak and the inability to completely move on from a lost love. The first two lines speak to hindsight being 20/20, the recognition that if we knew then what we know now, we could’ve maybe prevented the heartache. As the chorus repeats, there is a sense of hopelessness, acknowledging that there is no getting over the lost love. The singer even wishes to reverse time just to have their loved one back again. Despite their efforts to mask the pain and move on by partying, the truth is that they can't get the ex-lover out of their mind.
The final section of the song brings in a communal aspect, where people who have also experienced heartbreak can relate to the singer. They understand that there is no simple solution to mending the heart. The song's message is relatable, and the infectious dance beat and catchy lyrics make it a popular tune for a night out.
