Get Over You
McFly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was lookin' kinda sad and lonley
And i was thinkin' to myself if only
She could be a smile but it's not gonna happen that way
So i took it upon myself to ask her
Would you like company and maybe after we could talk a while
But i just don't know what to say
Help me babe i gotta get over you
Now and then she looks in my direction
I'm hopin' for a sign of her affection
But she's in denial and she's got some worries today
But i think if she'd give me a chance i'll plesently surprise but
Help me babe i gotta get over you
-Harmonica-
She has everything that she wants and i just can't explain so
Help me babe i gotta get over
Help me babe i gotta get over
Help me babe i gotta get over you
In the first verse of McFly's song "Get Over You," the singer sees a girl who looks sad and lonely, and he wants to make her smile. He offers her some company and a chance to talk, but he's not sure what to say because he's so taken with her. He admits that she has everything he wants, but he can't explain why he feels that way. In the chorus, he says that he needs her help to get over her.
In the second verse, the singer watches the girl as she occasionally looks his way, hoping to see some sign of her interest in him. But he perceives that she's in denial and has some worries, so he doesn't have much hope. However, he believes that if she were to give him a chance, he could pleasantly surprise her.
Overall, the song is about unrequited love and the struggle to move on. The singer acknowledges that the girl has everything he wants, but he knows that it's not going to happen between them. He asks for her help in getting over her, revealing his vulnerability and need for closure.
