Marvelous 3 first appeared on the scene with their acclaimed indie debut, Math and Other Problems in 1997. Word of mouth quickly spread, and Elektra Records signed the band. The next year saw the release of Hey! Album, their breakthrough CD. It featured the catchy radio hit Freak of the Week. Riding the success of their hit single, Marvelous 3 toured aggressively, as well as appearing on major late night talk shows and being featured in numerous magazines. After touring, the band went about creating their third album, Ready, Sex, Go, which was released in 2000 in preparation for the "rock epiphany of the new millennium." Ready, Sex, Go suffered from poor promotion, and the band realized that their record label wasn't willing to do them justice. A year after their third release, Marvelous 3 decided to part ways and take a break from the cut-throat music business. In 2002, lead singer Butch Walker began a solo career, releasing his first album Left of Self-Centered. In 2004 Butch released his follow up Letters. On July 25th, 2006 Butch and his band "Let's Go Out Tonites!" released the album entitled "The Rise And Fall Of Butch Walker and The Let's-Go-Out-Tonites."
Get Over
Marvelous 3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said she got tired of the radio station
That was playin' that song that her boyfriend wrote
All he did was change up a couple of notes
It was supposed to mean one thing, it became another
Next thing you know you're a brand new mother
With a bad hangover, hanging over the bed
All I know
Is this ain't how it's supposed to be now
All I know
Yeah, this might leave a mark
[Chorus]
And you should never get over me
'Cause I will never get over you
And if I ever get over
The fact that you're gone
Then I'll remember to forget about you
Tuesday comes and you take out the trash
And you're sweatin' so hard that you got a big rash
'Cause you know she fell harder for the beefcake guys
Money for the drugs and the big fat lies
But, hey, relax! She's gotta come back
It ain't so good on that side of the tracks
Where the lonely hearts band plays every night
Where they rock it in the morning til the broad day light
All I know
Is this ain't how it's supposed to be now
All I know
Yeah, this might leave a mark
[Chorus]
My watch is going
The hands keep on slowing
Every hour
My drink gets so sour
So feel the pain and fill it to the top
[Chorus]
The Marvelous 3's song, "Get Over," is a punk-infused track about heartbreak and trying to move on from a failed relationship. Molly, the subject of the song, goes on a new vacation after getting tired of hearing a song that her ex-boyfriend wrote. The song was supposed to mean one thing, but it turned into something else, and now Molly finds herself as a new mother with a bad hangover, while her cats try to mess with her head. The lyrics suggest that Molly was with the wrong guy, as he was more interested in drugs and lies than in her. Now, she's gone, and the singer of the song is left trying to move on, but he can't because he's not sure he wants to.
The chorus of "Get Over" is a defiant one, as the singer declares that he will never get over Molly, and that he will always remember her even after she leaves. He believes that the relationship was not supposed to end the way it did, and he's struggling to come to terms with it. The lyrics suggest that he's willing to endure the pain of the break-up, rather than forget about the good times they shared.
Overall, "Get Over" is a relatable song about heartbreak and trying to move on from a failed relationship. The lyrics suggest that even though the break-up was painful, the singer is not willing to forget about the good times they shared, and he's not sure if he's ready to move on.

And you should never get over me

If a relationship ends poorly, neither party is likely to truly move on, and if one does, they'll still remember the hurt caused by the other.

Time keeps moving forward, and you have to continue with your daily routine.

When things don't go as planned, it can cause you to feel anxious and uncomfortable.
'Cause you know she fell harder for the beefcake guys

Money for the drugs and the big fat lies
People sometimes hide things in relationships, even behind money or drugs, which can eventually cause problems.
But, hey, relax! She's gotta come back
It ain't so good on that side of the tracks
Where the lonely hearts band plays every night
Where they rock it in the morning til the broad day light
Sometimes things aren't quite what they seem, and the other side may not be as greener as you thought it was, nor bring the same level of fun and excitement.
My watch is going
The hands keep on slowing
Every hour
My drink gets so sour
So feel the pain and fill it to the top
Time can feel like it's moving slowly in difficult moments, and distracting oneself with alcohol or other means of temporary forgetfulness can make things worse.
