Over
Seafret Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up, there's a dream you lost.
It's clinging onto life like a thorn on a rose.
And you've stopped, frozen to the spot.
Let the penny drop, now it's time to go.
You're acting like you've got nothing to prove.
Keep saying if you were in my shoes.
But you're not broken, you're only just bruising now.
Don't tell me it's over.
I've got a feeling you've made up your mind.
There's something you've got to find,
don't let it go to waste.
You're getting closer, you're keeping it all hidden inside.
But you've got nothing to hide.
Don't throw it all away
and tell me it's over, over.
Don't you tell me it's over, over.
I'll see you break out, if it's the last thing that I do.
This time it's about you and you alone.
Now that you're focused, decided that it's time.
And putting it on the line's the only way to know.
I like to see you in your gambling mood.
Living like you've got nothing to lose
now the bad luck doesn't follow you around.
Don't tell me it's over.
I've got a feeling you've made up your mind.
There's something you've got to find,
don't let it go to waste.
You're getting closer, you're keeping it all hidden inside.
But you've got nothing to hide.
Don't throw it all away
and tell me it's over, over.
Don't you tell me it's over, over.
You've stopped, frozen to the spot.
Let the penny drop now it's time to go.
Don't tell me it's over.
I've got a feeling you've made up your mind.
There's something you've got to find,
don't let it go to waste.
You're getting closer, you're keeping it all hidden inside.
There's something you've got to find.
Don't throw it all away
and tell me it's over, over.
Don't you tell me it's over, over.




Don't tell me it's over, over.
Don't you tell me it's over, over.

I was literally just 11 seconds into this song and started smiling for no reason. That's how music should make everyone feel. LOVE THIS MUSIC 💙💙

Independent Thinker.

If a song doesn't grab you in the first 15 seconds and keep you listening, then it's not a good song.

This song keeps you listening! 👍
