Over You
Safia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

The chorus repeats the desire to get over their past love, asking themselves what they need to do to move on. The singer seems frustrated by their inability to let go and move on, as evidenced by the line "I can't seem..." which trails off. In the final verse, the singer expresses their desire to "fade from red to blue", possibly suggesting that they want to move past the intense emotions related to their past love and find a sense of tranquility.
Overall, the lyrics of "Over You" capture the conflicting feelings that can arise when trying to move on from a past love. While the singer wants to move on and find someone new, they are struggling with their memories and emotions related to their past love, making it difficult to forget.
