It's Over
Davis Billie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share would always be

There'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light
To make us realize our night is over
When you walk away from me
There is no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes
Against the sun that rises over the land

I watch you walk away
Somehow if have to let you go
Now it's over

If you knew just how I really feel
You might return and yet
There are so many times
That people have to love and then forget

Though there might have been a way
I have to force myself to say
It's over

So I turn my back
Turn my collar to the wind
Move along in silence
Trying not to think at all

I send my feet before me
Walk the silent street before me
It's over

If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share would always be

There'd be no coming day
To shine a morning light
To make us realize our night is over





It's over

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Davis Billie's song "It's Over" revolve around a love that has come to an end. The singer is pleading with time to stand still because he wants to hold onto the love that they share. He wishes that their moment of love could last forever without any morning light to signify the end of their night. However, the reality is, the sun must rise, and their love must come to an end, even if it hurts.


The singer admits that he has to let his lover go, and it is not easy for him. Watching his lover walk away from him is painful, and as she moves farther away from him, he finds himself alone, compelled to continue moving along the path of his life. The thought of letting her go is overwhelming, but he knows it is time to say goodbye, and he has to force himself to accept that their love is over.


The singer continues to walk his life's path while looking back at the love he has lost. He hopes that someday his lover might come back to him, but he knows that it is unlikely. The song ends with the realization that their love has ended, and he must move on.


Line by Line Meaning

If time were not a moving thing
If time were not something that moves forward and we could control it instead


And I could make it stay
If I had the power to make this moment last forever


This hour of love we share would always be
This moment of love we are experiencing would never end, but would last forever


There'd be no coming day
There would never be a morning that comes, signaling the end of this moment


To shine a morning light
To remind us that it is morning and that our moment of love has passed


To make us realize our night is over
To make us aware that our time of love has ended and we must face reality


When you walk away from me
When you leave my side and depart from me


There is no place to put my hand
There is no comforting object for me to hold onto or grasp


Except to shade my eyes
Except to cover my eyes, blotted out by the brightness of the sun


Against the sun that rises over the land
Against the rising sun that represents the day coming and signaling the end of our night and our love


I watch you walk away
I observe you leave and walk away from me


Somehow if have to let you go
Somehow I have to force myself to let go of you and move on


Now it's over
Our time together and our love is finished and done


If you knew just how I really feel
If you only knew the depth and intensity of my true emotions for you


You might return and yet
You might come back to me, but


There are so many times
There are countless instances


That people have to love and then forget
That people must feel love, but then let it go and move on from it


Though there might have been a way
Even though there may have been a solution


I have to force myself to say
I must make the difficult decision to say


It's over
Our time together and our love is finished and done


So I turn my back
So I must physically turn around and walk away


Turn my collar to the wind
I must turn my collar against the wind, to protect myself from the cold and harshness of reality


Move along in silence
I must keep moving forward in solitude and silence


Trying not to think at all
Attempting to stop myself from reflecting or pondering too much


I send my feet before me
I allow my feet to lead me forward, instead of dwelling on a past love


Walk the silent street before me
I walk without speaking or engaging in conversation as I move forward in my life


It's over
Our time together and our love is finished and done
