Far From Over
Max George Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a saying old, says that love is blind
Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind

Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
He's the big affair I cannot forget
Only man I ever think of with regret
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?

There's a somebody I'm longin' to see
I hope that he, turns out to be
Someone who'll watch over me

I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
I know I could, always be good
To one who'll watch over me

Although he may not be the man some
Girls think of as handsome
To my heart he carries the key

Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me

Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Someone to watch over me





Someone to watch over me

Overall Meaning

Max George's song "Far From Over" is a rendition of George and Ira Gershwin's classic song "Someone to Watch Over Me," which was originally composed for the Broadway musical "Oh, Kay!" in 1926. The lyrics are about love and the search for the "one," with the singer wishing for someone to watch over her and care for her. The opening lines – "There's a saying old, says that love is blind / Still we're often told, seek and ye shall find" – sets the tone and highlights the difficulty of finding love. The singer is on a mission to find the one person she can't forget, searching everywhere for him, but still coming up short. She envisions adding his initial to her monogram and hopes that he will be the "shepherd" for her "lost lamb." The main chorus – "Someone to watch over me" – is a call for the person she is looking for to come and take care of her.


The lyrics also touch on the insecurity and uncertainty that comes with love. The singer sees herself as a "little lamb who's lost in the wood," implying that she feels vulnerable and directionless without someone to guide her. However, she is also confident that she can be good to the person who watches over her. She acknowledges that the man she is looking for may not be conventionally handsome but holds the key to her heart. In the end, she pleads with him to "put on some speed" and follow her lead because she desperately needs someone to watch over her.


Overall, "Far From Over" is a beautiful interpretation of "Someone to Watch Over Me." Max George's soulful vocals add an emotional depth to the lyrics, and the piano-heavy instrumental creates a poignant atmosphere that perfectly complements the song's themes of love and insecurity.
