Over You
Safia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What do I gotta do?
I tell her, why should I care?
I wanna get over
I wanna get over you

I never take a single breath of air
I never drink when you're not there
I wanna hold another, 'nother lover
But you are not aware
I want a hope that I can find
To ease my broken mind
I wanna hide you under, under cover
'Till I don't recognize

What do I gotta do?
I tell her, why should I care?
I wanna get over
I wanna get over you

I need to know the truth
'Cause you're blank when you stare
I wanna get over
I wanna get over you

Someone give me suddenly the sign
Rewind this clock, replace my time
I wanna find another, so I recover
Recalibrate my eyes

I wanna fade from red to blue
Replace the things you do
Faithless lover, hide the clutter
That comes along with you
But I can't seem

What do I gotta do?
I tell her, why should I care?
I wanna get over
I wanna get over you

I need to know the truth
'Cause you're blank when you stare
I wanna get over
I wanna get over you

(I wanna get over)
Over, over you
Over, over you
Over, over you




I wanna get over
I wanna get over you
