Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
thinking i was right and you were wrong
i spend my nights, sugar
thinking i was wrong and you were right.
tell me what can i do
when all i think of is you
and it´s driving me wild so wild
though you treated me cruel, darling
and i want you here by my side
look what you´ve done
there´s getting over you
and no matter, where i run
there´s no getting over you
over you most every night
i keep on party till the morning light
you´re in my head, sugar
whe ni´ve got somebody in my bed
darling, could forget
but like a fly in your net
i surrender all to your charms
The lyrics of Jasmin Tabatabai's song "Over You" describe the internal struggle of a person who is unable to move on from a relationship despite being mistreated by their partner. In the first stanza, the singer confesses to having spent their days believing that they were right and their partner was wrong, but at night, they feel the opposite. They are unable to stop thinking about their ex-lover and this is driving them crazy.
The second stanza continues this thought and reveals that the singer is still infatuated with their former partner despite how they were treated. They admit to being a fool for still wanting them back, and no matter how cruelly their ex-partner may have treated them, they still yearn for their presence. In the chorus, the singer acknowledges the difficulty of getting over them and admits to thinking of them almost every night, resorting to partying to avoid the pain. They are convinced that the only way they could forget their former partner is if they found someone new, but even then, they are still drawn back to their ex-lover.
Overall, "Over You" portrays the universal experience of being unable to get over a past relationship, despite the hurt and pain it caused. It highlights the complexity of human emotions and the difficulty of moving on from someone who once held a significant place in our lives.

I spend my days
I dedicate my days to the thought of being right while you were wrong
thinking I was right and you were wrong
Belief of being right while considering you were incorrect
I spend my nights, sugar
During the nights, I occupy myself
thinking I was wrong and you were right.
I consider you were correct while I am mistaken at night
Tell me what can I do
Please instruct me what actions to take
When all I think of is you
When all of my thoughts are about you
And it's driving me wild so wild
It's making me go crazy with the intensity of my feelings
Though you treated me cruel, darling
Despite you treating me harshly, my beloved
I'm still your fool, darling
I'm still blindly devoted to you, my dear
And I want you here by my side
I desire your presence right next to me
Look what you've done
Observe the result of your actions
There's no getting over you
It's impossible to move on from you
And no matter, where I run
Regardless of where I escape or avoid
There's no getting over you
It's impossible to move on from you
Over you most every night
I think of you every night
I keep on party till the morning light
I party till dawn breaks
You're in my head, sugar
You exist in my thoughts, my dear
When I've got somebody in my bed
Despite having someone next to me in bed
Darling, could forget
My dear, please allow me to forget
But like a fly in your net
I'm caught in your trap
I surrender all to your charms
I give up everything to your attractive qualities
