It's All Over
Kris & Rita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you know that I feel the same
We've grown too lonesome together (Oh, yes we have)
And all that we share is the blame.
Let's take a chance while there's something to say
Oh darling, don't throw it away
We know that we've both got so much to lose
We could be good to each other (Yes, we could)
Better than we've ever been
Oh, darlin' we're starting all over
It's all over, all over again.
I know, we could be good to each other (Yes, we could)
Better than we've ever been
Oh, darlin', we're starting all over
It's all over, all over again.
It's all over, all over again...
The lyrics of "It's All Over" by Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge depict a relationship that has reached a breaking point. The song reflects a sense of regret and longing for a chance to salvage what remains of their love. The opening lines convey a mutual understanding of remorse and the acknowledgment that they both share the responsibility for the deterioration of their relationship.
The chorus suggests a plea for one more opportunity to communicate and resolve their issues before it's too late. The repetition of "It's all over, all over again" implies that this isn't the first time they have faced such a crossroad, but they are hopeful that they can start afresh and find a way to be kinder to each other than they have been before.
The overall tone of the song is bittersweet, with a mixture of resignation and a flicker of optimism. It captures the complex emotions experienced when a relationship teeters on the edge, with the recognition of the stakes involved and the potential cost of losing each other forever.
