Over And Over
Rachel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is no better mood than that of solitude
To have me feeling safe and sound
So cast your spell on me
Till I am fast asleep
Your love is simple yet profound
I let my worries float away on passing clouds
And I let my heart release the burden of my doubts
Take me away from here
Till my minds crystal clear
Show me the love it's all about
And I know tomorrow I'll be kicking myself
Another day gone down the drain
But it was all I ever wanted anyway
I'll probably say
Let's do it over again
So why waste a sunny sky on feeling blue and gray
When I've got my shelter and my fuel for the day
And that is all I need
There's no room for agony
My heart is filled up all the way
And I know tomorrow I'll be kicking myself
Another day gone down the drain
But it was all I ever wanted anyway
I'll probably say
Let's do it over again
I'm just floating through time
And I'm making it mine
And I know tomorrow I'll be kicking myself
Another day gone down the drain
But it was all I ever wanted anyway
I'll probably say
Let's do it over again
Let's do it over again
Let's do it over




Let's do it over
Let's do it over again

Just one more time
We always think 'just one more time' when it comes to getting back together


Let's give it one more try
We always think we can make our relationship work if we try one more time


One more night
We always end up staying together for one more night


Baby let's do this one more time
We always convince ourselves that we can make our relationship work one more time


We're never really over
No matter how many times we break up, we always come back to each other
