It's Over Now
Marie Picasso Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night I had to stop and catch my breath
Cuz there you where
Reaching Out to your old girlfriend
You thought I wouldn't find out
You thought that I would not hear the words
Though I wasn't listening I still heard
You say about me:
She's got me wrapped around her finger
Just like a melody to a song
I don't know how I can tell
But I know that we belong
It's time to put my anchor down
The search is over now
It's over now

Now I hold all the cards
Yeah, I can just play this game
Or I can be the brave one
And tell you that I feel the same
Ohh How my body's helpless
How I found a home here with you
I'm scared of what would happen
If I told you the truth

That you've got me wrapped around your finger
Just like a melody to a song
I don't know how I can tell
But I know that we belong
It's time to put my anchor down
The search is over now

I've always been a restless heart in love
With the promise of you
Now the promise has come true
It's over now
It's over now
Boy it's over now

You've got me wrapped around your finger
Just like a melody to a song
I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
But I know that we belong
And it's time to put my anchor down
The search is over now




It's over now
It's over now
