Getting Over You
Lauv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Think I hit a wall
Late nights, not you
Running from the moment
So I don't recall
Late nights, not you
Waking up in a cold sweat
I'd do anything to not be alone
All alone with the ceiling
All alone with this feeling
And I wonder if I'll ever let go
I tried spending my nights under
Someone new
But the truth is
I could spend my whole life getting over you
Yeah yeah yeah
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Drowning in my coffee
To wash the alcohol
Out my bloodstream
Sitting here I wonder
If we hadn't been at all
Who would I be?
Waking up in the cold sweat
Someone else in this cold bed
And I wonder if I'll ever let go
I tried spending
My nights under
Someone new
But the truth is
I could spend my whole life getting over you
Yeah yeah yeah
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
I tried spending
My nights under
Someone new
But the truth is
I could spend my whole life getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
The lyrics of "Getting Over You" by Lauv express the struggle of moving on from a past lover. The song begins with the singer feeling lost and overwhelmed as he tries to escape his thoughts of his previous relationship by staying out late and avoiding sleep. However, it's evident that he cannot escape his feelings as he wakes up feeling alone in a cold bed. As he tries to cope by drowning himself in coffee, he wonders who he would be if he had never met this person.
The chorus emphasizes the difficulty of moving on from this person with the repetition of the line "Getting over you." The singer tries to fill the void with another person, but admits that the truth is that he could spend his whole life trying to get over his past lover. The song ends with the repeated line of "Getting over you" as if to convey that this will be a never-ending struggle.
One interesting aspect about the song is that it was written by Lauv based on his own experiences with heartbreak. Lauv has stated in interviews that he wanted to write about his own struggles with moving on in the hopes of providing comfort to listeners going through the same thing. It's also worth noting that the song features backup vocals by Anne-Marie, who is known for her own breakup-themed hit songs.

Running from the morning
Trying to escape from facing the day and the reality that you're not with me anymore
Think I hit a wall
I'm at a point where I can't avoid my thoughts and feelings anymore
Late nights, not you
Even though I stay up late, you're still not here with me
Running from the moment
Trying to escape the present moment and the pain that comes with it
So I don't recall
I'm trying to forget and not remember the good times we had
Waking up in a cold sweat
Having nightmares about losing you and waking up scared and alone
Someone else in this cold bed
Trying to fill the void that you left, but no one else can replace you
I'd do anything to not be alone
I'm desperate to have someone by my side so I don't have to face my loneliness
All alone with the ceiling
Feeling trapped and isolated in my own thoughts and emotions
All alone with this feeling
The feeling of heartbreak and loss that I can't escape
And I wonder if I'll ever let go
Questioning whether I'll ever be able to move on and forget about you
I tried spending my nights under someone new
Attempting to distract myself and fill the void with someone else
But the truth is
In reality, no one else can replace or compare to you
I could spend my whole life getting over you
Realizing that it will take a long time and a lot of effort to move on from you, if I ever can
Drowning in my coffee
Using caffeine to cope with the exhaustion and emptiness I feel without you
To wash the alcohol
Trying to wash away the pain and numb myself with alcohol
Out my bloodstream
Trying to forget you but the memories still linger in my mind
Sitting here I wonder
Reflecting on my past and feeling regretful for losing you
If we hadn't been at all
Contemplating what my life would be like if we never met each other
Who would I be?
Wondering who I would have become without you in my life
Getting over you
The repeated phrase symbolizes my repeated attempts to move on from you
