Under / Over
Gracie Abrams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Funny when I think about the months that I could not get out of bed
Going back and forth over the letters that I wrote but never sent
Wake up and repeat it, but I was barely sleepin'
Swimmin' in the memories, I'm floatin' in the deep end
How come you're not still in my head?

I got, you got, we got too much time on our hands
Used to be so caught up in the things we had planned
I'm not chasin' feelings that I don't understand
I'm underwater, but I'm over you

Thought that I'd be good the day I took down all your pictures in my room
How'd it go from easier to everything still leadin' back to you?
Can I be honest? I think about you constantly
You're closin' every door, but now I'm lookin' for an opening
Maybe I'm just getting confused

I got, you got, we got too much time on our hands
Used to be so caught up in the things we had planned




I'm still chasin' feelings that I don't understand
I'm underwater, am I over you?

I'm starting to doubt my own emotions and whether I truly want to move on from you or not.


I'm still chasing feelings that I don't understand
Despite my best efforts, I'm still struggling to understand my emotions and can't seem to find closure.


Am I over you?
I'm questioning whether I'm truly over you and our relationship or not.

Funny when I think about the months that I could not get out of bed
Going back and forth over the letters that I wrote but never sent
Wake up and repeat it, I was barely sleeping
Swimming in the memories and floating in the deep end
How come you're not still in my head

I got, you got, we got too much time on our hands
Used to be so caught up in the things we had planned
I'm not chasing feelings that I don't understand
I'm underwater, but I'm over you

Thought that I'd be good that they had took down all your pictures in my room
How'd I go from easier to everything's still leading back to you
Can I be honest, I think about you constantly
You're closing every door, but now I'm looking for an opening
Maybe I'm just getting confused

I got, you got, we got too much time on our hands
Used to be so caught up in the things we had planned
I'm still chasing feelings that I don't understand
I'm underwater, am I over you

Funny when I think about the months that I could not get out of bed
Going back and forth over the letters that I wrote but never sent
Wake up and repeat it, I was barely sleeping
Swimming in the memories and floating in the deep end
How come you’re not still in my head



I got, you got, we got too much time on our hands
Used to be so caught up in the things we had planned

You’re closing every door, but now I’m looking for an opening
Maybe I’m just getting confused


I got, you got, we got too much time on our hands
Used to be so caught up in the things we had planned
I’m still chasing feelings that I don’t understand
I’m underwater, am I over you
