Over My Head
L.I.T. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was a wet and rainy day
When we stood in the parking lot
You were standing soaking wet
So I shared my umbrella

The cold was closing in
And you pulled me closer
The warmth of your body
Made my legs go weak

And I thought we should take it slow
But the brakes are all gone
I fell head over heels in love

As the sun pushed through
The clouds stopped crying
The rays kissed our faces
As we ran through the puddles

And I thought we should take it slow
But the brakes are all gone
I fell head over heels in love

I thought we should take it slow
But the brakes are all gone
I fell head over heels in love

The moon called the stars
To talk about our love
They watched from afar
Until the sun came up

And I thought we should take it slow
But the brakes are all gone
I fell head over heels in love

I thought we should take it slow




But the brakes are all gone
I fell head over heels in love
