When It's Over
Just Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When it's over you were waiting for something else
When it's over you were waiting to say goodbye
And I wanna see how I'm falling away again
I remember you, and every time I see that were I could be
Wont ever change for to long

I remember all those things you told me
Wispering in the night and all the times that I forgot you
Maybe for far to long

All of these things that I think about far to late
Would it change if I could hear you that day
And I wanna see how I'm falling away again
I remember you

I remember all those things you told me
Wispering in the night and all the times that I forgot you
Maybe for far to long

And all this time
All this time between us
We're down in the dark and the dead line
Were I belong, were I belong
And I'm lost in the darkest night time

When it's over you were waiting for something else
When it's over you were waiting to say goodbye
And every time I see that were I could be
Wont ever change for to long
When it's over

I remember all those things you told me
Wispering in the night and all the times that I forgot you
Maybe for far to long

I remember all those things you told me




Wispering in the night and all the times that I forgot you
Maybe for far to long

Overall Meaning

The chorus then repeats the idea of falling away and remembering the person they were with. The second verse adds more depth to the singer's emotions by remembering all the things the other person told them and whispering in the night when they forgot each other. The bridge ties in the metaphor of darkness and being lost, echoing the feeling of the relationship ending and feeling alone. The final chorus brings the song full circle, repeating the idea of remembering and waiting for something else but knowing that these feelings won't last forever.
