George Ezra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like today, you'll never know
Step this way, I'd find a garden
Like today, you'll never know
Well, you may claim that you found me
Like today, you'll never know
Like today, you'll never know
Oh, nonetheless I must confess
That I'm a mess has been left to safe you
You're situation must be there
You're situation must be over the creek
Haunted we speak
But I can't of left you
I still haven't met you
Well, I may fall into your dance
Like today, I'd never know
We may meet with awkward hearts
Like today, I'd never know
Like today, I'd never know
Oh, nonetheless I must confess
That I'm the mess has been left
Well, nonetheless I must confess
I'm the mess has been left to save you
My situation must be dire
My situation must be over the creek
And haunted we speak, and I can't of left you
I still haven't met you
If ever said too much
Hear my last spoken words
And if I never said enough
Well, bleed my last spoken words
Well, bleed my last spoken words
Oh, nonetheless I must confess
That I'm the mess that has been left
Well, nonetheless I must confess

Our situations must be dire
Our situation must be over the creek
Haunted we speak, over the creek
Haunted we speak
That I can't of left you
I still haven't met you
The opening lines of "Over the Creek" by George Ezra express uncertainty and hesitation about expressing love in its fullness. The first two lines convey the idea that the singer may feel love but doesn't know how it will flourish. The next two lines imply that the singer is looking for a better place to solidify this love, but the timing is uncertain. The uncertainty and hesitation are reinforced by the repetition of the phrase, "like today, you'll never know."
In the chorus, the singer addresses the person they're singing to, maybe a current or would-be partner. They suggest that the other person may have found them, but it's unlikely they know everything about them. The singer then declares that they are a "mess" but that they feel a sense of responsibility to "save" the other person. Yet, there is still distance between them, despite the singer's desire to meet the other person and fall into their "dance."
The final lines of the song resemble a plea, the singer implores the person they're singing to hear their last spoken words, recognizing they may not have always communicated as well as they could have. The phrase "bleed my last spoken words" could suggest that the singer's words carry deep and sincere feelings, and ending on this note brings a sense of finality to the song.

If I've ever been too talkative or said too much, listen to what I'm saying now because it's likely the most important. And if I've never expressed myself enough, take this as a sign of how much I care and am willing to share my feelings.
Our situations must be dire
Our situation must be over the creek
Haunted we speak, over the creek
Haunted we speak
That I can't of left you
I still haven't met you
Both of us are in desperate situations, possibly even beyond our control. We communicate in a spooky or unsettling way because of the uncertainty and fear we feel. Despite not really knowing each other, I feel a connection to you that I can't ignore.
