Move It On Over
Irene Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I
Took the road as far as it would go
Said good-bye
Now I just had to call to say hello
We did the only thing we could
We talked it out and understood
But there's one last thing I need to know
Now that it's over
Now that we've really reached the end
Now that it's over
With all of the love we both depended on
Is far from gone
Could we ever learn to live as friends
Or now that it's over
Maybe we could start over again

They say time
Time will always heal the hearts that ache
We've had time
Now tell me just how long this healin' takes
If gettin' over me is hard to do
Well, you should try gettin' over you
Don't we know by now
There's one move to make

Now that it's over
Now that we've really reached the end
Now that it's over
With all of the love we both depended on
Is far from gone
Can we walk away and just pretend
And now that it's over
Maybe we could start again

Sometimes you have to walk away
Before you find
The love you've lost
May never come again
Baby, you and I
We had to say goodbye
But now

Now that it's over
Now that we've really reached the end
Now that it's over
With all of the love we both depended on
Is far from gone
Could we ever learn to live as friends




Or now that it's over
Maybe we could start over again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Irene's song "Move it on Over" talk about a love that has come to an end, and the possibility of moving on and starting over as friends. The beginning of the song talks about how the lovers went as far as they could go, and now they have to say goodbye. The singer expresses the need to talk and understand each other, but there's an unanswered question that they both need to confront. The question is whether they can be friends now that their love has ended, or if they can start over again.


In the second stanza, the singer offers a glimmer of hope that time will heal their hearts. They've given themselves time to heal, but the singer wonders how long the healing will take. There's an acknowledgement that getting over the other person might be hard, but they need to try. The singer suggests that they should both walk away and pretend that everything is okay if they can't be friends. The song ends with a message of hope, perhaps even a suggestion to go back to the beginning and start over again.


Overall, the song is about the complexities of love and the difficulties that come with moving on. The singer suggests that they might be able to start over again, but the intensity of the love they had before might get in the way. The song offers a message of hope but also reminds the listener that the path to healing can be a long and winding road.

The idea to make these 3 kids have such a strong bond with a man who is so obviously not their father is brilliant. I love it

WalkerBrosFilms

Oh but how is IS the father. A dad is a dad.

James the Fisherman

That plus the fact the man is too dumb to realize he isn’t their father

Rensune

Don't know what you mean: he's clearly their father

And it's Beautiful

Danny Morgan

@A Red Motorcycle Unless I missed an obvious joke, you did it too. In this context its "their" because its the possessive. "They're" is a contraction of "they are" and "there" is in reference to a location or object.

"Look over there! They're playing with their father!"

Joe Johnson

Cam anyone tell me the name of the music playing ??
