S Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knowing there's so much more to say
And suddenly the moment's gone
And all your dreams are upside down
And you just want to change the way the world goes round, tell me
Have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking
Looking down the road you should be taking
I should know, 'cause I loved and lost, the day I let you go
Can't help but think that this is wrong
We should be together
Back in your arms where I belong
And now I've finally realized
It was forever that I've found (forever that I've found)
I'd give it all to change the way the world goes round, tell me
Have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry
Can't you see, that's the way I feel about you and me, baby
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking
Looking down the road you should be taking
I should know (I should know), 'cause I loved and lost, the day I let you go
I really want to hear you say, that you know just how it feels
To have it all and let it slip away, can't you see
Even though the moment's gone (moment's gone), I'm still holding on somehow
Wishing I could change the way the world goes round, tell me
Have you ever loved and lost somebody
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry
Can't you see, that's the way I feel about you and me, baby
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking
Looking down the road you should be taking
I should know (I should know), 'cause I loved and lost, the day I let
Yes I loved and lost the day I let
Yes I loved and lost the day I let you go
The lyrics to S Club 7's song Have You Ever are about regret, specifically the regret of losing someone that you loved. The song explores the idea of wanting to go back and change something that happened in the past, or to say something that you didn't say. The opening lines suggest that sometimes it's wrong to walk away, even if it seems like the relationship is over, because there may still be things left unsaid. The chorus of the song asks if the listener has ever loved and lost somebody, and wished that they could say sorry or have another chance with that person. The lyrics are emotive, and the repetition in the chorus ("Have you ever...") creates a sense of reflection, with the singer asking the listener to think about their own experiences of loss and regret.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is in love with someone who they have lost, and that they wish that they could be together again. They describe the moment of losing that person as a moment when "all your dreams are upside down", indicating that the loss has had a significant impact on the singer's life. The chorus is particularly powerful, with the line "Have you ever felt your heart was breaking" conveying the pain and sadness that comes with losing someone you love. The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, with the singer expressing their desire to go back in time and change the way things happened. The use of the word "still" in the line "I'm still holding on somehow" suggests that the singer is still struggling to come to terms with the loss, and is still holding on to the hope that they will be reunited with the person they love.
Overall, the lyrics to Have You Ever are a powerful expression of love and loss, regret and reflection. The repeated questions in the chorus create a sense of universality - everyone has experienced loss and regret at some point in their lives. The song is a poignant reminder to cherish the people we love, and to never take them for granted.

Sometimes it's wrong to walk away, though you think it's over
Leaving a situation prematurely might not always be right even if it appears to be the end
Knowing there's so much more to say
Realizing that there are still things that need to be addressed and shared
And suddenly the moment's gone
The opportunity to express oneself has passed in an instant
And all your dreams are upside down
Everything you hoped for and aspired to seems out of reach
And you just want to change the way the world goes round, tell me
Feeling a strong desire to alter how life works and seeking someone's input
Have you ever loved and lost somebody
Have you experienced the feeling of love and then the pain of losing it?
Wished there was a chance to say I'm sorry
Desiring an opportunity to apologize for past mistakes
Can't you see, that's the way I feel about you and me, baby
Can't you understand that these are the emotions I have for you and our relationship?
Have you ever felt your heart was breaking
Have you experienced the intense emotional pain of your heart breaking?
Looking down the road you should be taking
Thinking about the path you should have taken or the choices you should have made
I should know, 'cause I loved and lost, the day I let you go
I understand this well as I have gone through it myself when I let you go
Can't help but think that this is wrong
Still feeling that it's not right to be apart
We should be together
It's imperative for us to be together
Back in your arms where I belong
My place is in your embrace
And now I've finally realized
I have come to the realization
It was forever that I've found (forever that I've found)
What I have found is something that lasts forever
I'd give it all to change the way the world goes round, tell me
I'm willing to sacrifice everything to make life better, so please tell me
I really want to hear you say, that you know just how it feels
I yearn to hear you express that you comprehend my state of mind
To have it all and let it slip away, can't you see
To possess everything and then lose it, don't you see?
Even though the moment's gone (moment's gone), I'm still holding on somehow
Even though the opportunity has passed, I'm still holding onto hope
Yes, I loved and lost the day I let you go
I did experience love and loss when I let you go
