Over You
Ferry Bryan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh baby this is nowhere.
Wish I was somewhere, over you.
Your sweet lips tell me there's no chance
No more romance, over you.
Oh baby

How can I go on.
Crying so long, over you.
Where strangers look for new love
I'm so lost in love, over you.

Some day
Yes
It might come
Babe

When I'll bebabe, over you.
And always up to that moment
I will try to say I'm, over you.

Oh baby
How can I go on?
Crying so long, over you.




Where stranger look for new love
I'm so lost in love, over you.

Overall Meaning

Ferry Bryan's song "Over You," is a classic case of heartbreak and unrequited love. In the first stanza, we get the sense of desolation and hopelessness that the singer feels after a break-up. He says that he is "nowhere" without his former partner and wishes that he could be "somewhere, over you." The repetition of "over you" at the end of both lines shows that he is still attached to his ex and finds it hard to move on. In the second stanza, he acknowledges that his former partner will not come back to him despite his efforts to rekindle their romance, and he is stuck in a rut of pain and tears. He feels left behind and admits that compared to strangers looking for love, he is "so lost in love, over you."


The final stanza of the song brings up a small glimmer of hope that the singer might be able to move past his heartbreak. He says, "Some day, yes, it might come. Babe when I'll be, over you." Though this is still very much a possibility, he hopes that he can eventually move on, and "always up to that moment," he will try to say that he is over his ex. But as the song ends, he concludes; he is still stuck in the past, and he finds it hard to believe that he can ever move on from his former lover.
