Can't Get Over
September Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You
Don't want hear your name!
Don't wanna see your smile!
'Cause Baby I'm still crying.

And go, it's time for you to get out!
I'm sick of standing my ground,
'Cause I just end up running.
And I go to sleep believin' in tomorrow,
But I wake up screaming, half way through the night.

You know I can't get over,
And I don't know why?
You know I can't get over,
No matter how I try,
And I don't know why?

We
Will always be the same!
You say it's time for a change,
But I don't see, one coming.

So I climb out of the darkness of your lovin',
But I end up falling back into your arms

You know I can't get over,
And I don't know why?
You know I can't get over,
No matter how I try,
And I don't know why?

From beginning to end,
Once again right back to where we started.
I know, I'm right
We were wrong all along!

You know I can't get over,
And I don't know why?
You know I can't get over,
No matter how I try.

You know I can't get over,
And I don't know why?
You know I can't get over,
No matter how I try,,
And I don't know why?





You know I can't get over!

You...
Don't want hear your name!
Don't wanna see your smile!
Cause Baby I'm still crying.
And go, it's time for you to get out!
I'm sick of standing my ground,
Cause I just stand up running.
And I go to sleeping even end tomorrow,
But I wake up screaming, how wake through the night.
You know I can't get over,
And I don't know why?
You know I can't get over,
No matter how I try,
And I don't know why?
We...
Will always be the same!
You say it's time for a change,
But I don't see, wouldn't coming.
So I may now gone the darkness on your lovin,
But I end up falling back into your road!
You know I can't get over,
And I don't know why?
You know I can't get over,
No matter how I try,
And I don't know why?
From beginning to win,
Where's again right back to where we started.
I know, I'm right
We were wrong with the love!
You know I can't get over,
And I don't know why?
You know I can't get over,
No matter how I try.
You know I can't get over,
And I don't know why?
You know I can't get over,
No matter how I try,
And I don't know why?
You know I can't get over!

This song was way ahead of its time, I just listened to it for the first time and I thought it was from this year or maximum 5 years ago but I see it's from 2007 :O

@TheRiisingSun

Ahead of its time? But this kind of music(good music) isn't being made anymore, so it can't be ahead of its time.

@MsTrack05

Its regular pop music from those years when it was made. Exactly the style that was popular. It wasnt ahead of its time. It was just different from nowadays pop

@albertor6166

@@TheRiisingSun it's so terribly true what you say...

@sharinganproz

Pop music really needs to swing back in this direction.

@martajestem7912
