It's Over Now
Ralph Covert And Bad Examples Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Id like to remember you the way you look this very moment
But now were past it and Im memorizing that you were in it
Someone has to make the move to say good-bye so say good-bye
Its over now, its over now, its over now ...
Your eyes are still off-center on your face, its strange to mention
Its been a year or so since Ive been aware of your imperfections
I cant imagine loving someone else but I will work it out
Its over now, its over now, its over now ...
Well make the same mistakes again weve got our methods down
Its over now, its over now, its over now ...
When I was seventeen I felt emotions unknown to mankind
The love I had, the pain I felt began when it was mine
Now as the end approaches I roll my eyes No, not again.
Its over now, its over now, its over now ...
And if you change your mind just call me
And if you change your mind Ill be here
Youve got about a week or so until forever disappears ...
Id like to remember you the way you looked the day we met
But as youre walking out the door Im starting to forget
Ill always love you until someone else gets my attention
Its over now, its over now, its over now ...




Well make the same mistakes again weve got our methods down
Its over now, its over now, its over now ...
