Over Again
One Direction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Said I'd never leave her 'cause her hands fit like my T-shirt
Tongue tied over three words, cursed
Running over thoughts that make my feet hurt
Bodies intertwined with her lips

Now she's feeling so low since she went solo
Hole in the middle of my heart like a polo
And it's no joke to me
So can we do it all over again?

If you're pretending from the start like this
With a tight grip, then my kiss can mend your broken heart
I might miss everything you said to me

And I can lend your broken parts
That might fit like this
And I will give you all my heart
So we can start it all over again

Again can we take the same road two days in the same clothes?
And I know just what she'll say if I can make all this pain go
Can we stop this for a minute?
You know, I can tell that your heart isn't in it or with it

Tell me with your mind, body and spirit
I can make your tears fall down like the showers that are British
Whether we're together or apart
We can both remove the masks and admit we regret it from the start

If you're pretending from the start like this
With a tight grip, then my kiss can mend your broken heart
I might miss everything you said to me

And I can lend your broken parts
That might fit like this
And I will give you all my heart
So we can start it all over again

You'll never know how to make it on your own
And you'll never show weakness for letting go
I guess you're still hurt if they say so
But do you really want to be alone?

If you're pretending from the start like this
With a tight grip, then my kiss can mend your broken heart
I might miss everything you said to me

And I can lend your broken parts
That might fit like this
And I will give you all my heart
So we can start it all over again

If you're pretending from the start like this
With a tight grip, then my kiss can mend your broken heart
I might miss everything you said to me

And I can lend your broken parts
That might fit like this




And I will give you all my heart
So we can start it all over again

Overall Meaning

Over Again is a love song that tells a story of two lovers who broke up but still have deep feelings for each other. The song is emotional and intense, with lyrics that suggest the singer is longing to start over with his girl. The opening lines suggest that the two were once in love, and that the singer never thought he'd leave her. He talks about her hands fitting perfectly like his T-shirt, but he's tongue-tied and struggling to find the right words to say. It appears that the relationship ended badly and that the girl was left feeling low after going solo. The singer compares the hole in his heart to the hole in a Polo mint, and it's clear that the break-up has had a profound effect on both of them.


The chorus sees the singer asking if they can start again, suggesting that he's willing to try again. He talks about taking the same road and wearing the same clothes, showing that he's willing to make an effort to make things work. He wants to mend her broken heart, and he's willing to give her all of himself in the process.


The second verse sees the singer asking if they can stop for a minute and talk about their feelings. He suggests that he knows her heart isn't in it, and that they need to remove their masks and admit that they regret the past. He talks about making her tears fall like the British showers, again showing that he's willing to do whatever it takes to make things right.


The final verse suggests that the singer knows the girl won't make it on her own and that she's afraid of being alone. He once again offers to lend her his heart and mend her broken parts. The song ends with the chorus, repeating the idea that they can start over again.


Line by Line Meaning

Said I'd never leave her 'cause her hands fit like my T-shirt
I promised never to leave her because we fit perfectly together


Tongue tied over three words, cursed
I'm too nervous to say 'I love you' even though I really want to


Running over thoughts that make my feet hurt
I can't stop thinking about our relationship and it's hurting me


Bodies intertwined with her lips
We're physically and emotionally connected when we kiss


Now she's feeling so low since she went solo
She's sad and lonely since we broke up and she's on her own


Hole in the middle of my heart like a polo
I feel a big emptiness inside me, like there's a hole in my heart


And it's no joke to me
I'm not kidding when I say I miss her and want her back


So can we do it all over again?
Can we start over and try to make our relationship work again?


If you're pretending from the start like this
If you were never really serious about us from the beginning


With a tight grip, then my kiss can mend your broken heart
If you hold on tight to me, my love can heal your heartache


I might miss everything you said to me
I might have missed the signs that you were unhappy or wanted to break up


And I can lend your broken parts
I can help you heal your emotional wounds


That might fit like this
We might fit together perfectly if we try again


And I will give you all my heart
I'm willing to give my all to make our relationship work


So we can start it all over again
Let's start fresh and try again from the beginning


Again can we take the same road two days in the same clothes?
Can we recreate happy memories like when we used to spend time together?


And I know just what she'll say if I can make all this pain go
I know she'll be happy and grateful if I can help her move on from her pain


Can we stop this for a minute?
Can we take a break and really talk about our feelings and what went wrong?


You know, I can tell that your heart isn't in it or with it

Tell me with your mind, body and spirit
Please communicate with me honestly and fully about your thoughts and feelings


I can make your tears fall down like the showers that are British
I can make you cry with my heartfelt apologies and declarations of love


Whether we're together or apart
No matter what happens, I still care about you deeply


We can both remove the masks and admit we regret it from the start
We can be honest with each other and confess that we made mistakes and have regrets


You'll never know how to make it on your own
You're scared to be alone and I don't want you to have to go through that


And you'll never show weakness for letting go
You don't want to seem vulnerable by admitting you need me or our relationship


I guess you're still hurt if they say so
You're still hurting from our breakup, despite what others may say


But do you really want to be alone?
Do you really want to give up on us and be by yourself?

Said I'd never leave her
Cause her hands fit like my t-shirt
Tongue tied over three words, cursed
Running over thoughts that made my feet hurt
Bodies intertwined with her lips
Now she's feeling so low
Since she went solo
Hole in the middle of my heart like a polo
And it's no joke to me
So can we do it all over again

If you're pretending from the start
Like this, with a tight grip
Then my kiss can mend your broken heart
I might miss
Everything you said to me
And I can lend your broken parts
That might fit, like this
And I will give you all my heart
So we can start it all over again

Again we take the same road
Two days in the same clothes
And I know just what she'll say
If I can make all this pain go
Can we stop this for a minute
You know I can tell that your heart isn't in it, or with it
And tell me with your mind, body and spirit
I can make your tears fall down like the showers that are British
Whether we're together or apart
We can both remove the masks
And admit we regret it from the start

If you're pretending from the start

Everything you said to me
And I can lend your broken parts
That might fit, like this
And I will give you all my heart
So we can start it all over again

You'll never know how to make it on your own
And you'll never show weakness for letting go
I guess it's still hard if the seed's sown
But do you really want to be alone?

If you're pretending from the start
Like this, with a tight grip
Then my kiss can mend your broken heart
I might miss
Everything you said to me
And I can lend your broken parts
That might fit, like this
And I will give you all my heart
So we can start it all over again

If you're pretending from the start
Like this, with a tight grip (yeah)
Then my kiss can mend your broken heart
I might miss
Everything you said to me
And I can lend your broken parts
That might fit, like this
And I will give you all my heart
So we can start it all over again
