You All Over Me
Taylor Swift featuring Maren Morris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once the last drop of rain has dried off the pavement
Shouldn't I find a stain, but I never do
The way the tires turn stones, on old county roads
They leave 'em muddy underneath
Reminds me of you
You find graffiti on the walls of old bathroom stalls
You know, you can scratch it right off
It's how it used to be
But like the dollar in your pocket, it's been spent and traded in
You can't change where it's been
Reminds me of me

I lived, and I learned
Had you, got burned
Held out, and held on
God knows, too long
And wasted time, lost tears
Swore that I'd get out of here
But no amount of freedom gets you clean
I've still got you all over me

The best and worst day of June
Was the one that I met you
With your hands in your pockets
And your 'don't you wish you had me' grin
But I did, so I smiled, and I melted like a child
Now every breath of air I breathe reminds me of then

And I lived, and I learned
Had you, got burned
Held out, and held on
God knows, too long
And wasted time, lost tears
Swore that I'd get out of here
But no amount of freedom gets you clean
I've still got you all over me

I lived, and I learned
And found out what it was to turn around
And see, that we
Were never really meant to be
So I lied, and I cried
And I watched a part of myself die
'Cause no amount of freedom gets you clean
I've still got you all over me
I've still got you all over me
Still got you all over me

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of You All Over Me reflect the aftermath of a relationship. The rain has stopped, and the pavement is dry, implying that some time has passed, but there is still a sense of longing or nostalgia that lingers. The singer suggests that she should find some evidence of the past relationship, but there isn't any. This sets the theme for the song - the lingering memory of a relationship that has long since ended. The image of the muddy road, with stones turned by the tires of passing cars, is a metaphor for how memories can be buried underneath, but still have an impact. The wet pavement and muddy road, which are now dry, are a symbol of the passage of time and change.


The second verse alludes to the impermanence of graffiti on bathroom walls. The singer implies that, like graffiti, the relationship is now gone, but the memory remains. It is a part of who she is now, even if she wants to move on. The third verse evokes the memory of first meeting the other person. The singer describes meeting the person with their 'don't-you-wish-you-had-me-grin' and then goes on to describe the impact the relationship had on her. The song portrays the complexity of emotions that are involved in reminiscing about a past relationship. The singer says that "no amount of freedom gets you clean." Despite the passage of time and the distance from the relationship, the memory still remains.

Clean and You All Over Me are literally the same song:

“but no amount of freedom gets you clean ...” - You All Over Me
“i think i’m finally clean “ - Clean

“i’ve still got you all over me “ -You All Over Me
“you’re still all over me like a wine stained dress i can’t wear anymore” - Clean

i love these lyric parallels so much.

edit: shit thanks for the likes lmao i thought i was the only one who noticed/cared lmao
