Come Over
Zoë Nutt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought I’d put you away on the back of the shelf
But history’s always repeating itself
There’s a long list of reasons I’m buried beneath
Tried to put you away but you ain’t hard to reach


Well I’m glad that you answered, that’s what I would say
And you don’t have to ask what I did with my day
You’d never have known we ain’t spoken in weeks
We just missed the mark, but we ain’t skipped a beat


No need to mend fences or work it on out
There’ll be no resurrection, we’re just playing house
Just because it ain’t real don’t mean it’s pretend
I don’t love you
Can you come over again


The worst of what happened we’d leave at the door
Like the time that I said I don’t love you no more
Set our hearts, and memories, and feelings outside
We’re just lonesome and scared, and along for the ride


The porch light is on you can let yourself in
We’re somewhere between an old lover and just friends
Well the flame’s burning out so we better get closer
I don’t love you
You still don’t love me
Come over


Now I’m stuck where I am but can’t stay in this place
But you never could tell from the look on my face
It’s a messed-up addiction, I need to get high
We don’t think it’s wrong, but we know it ain’t right


No need to dwell on the things that we had
We’ll keep telling ourselves that this isn’t that bad
Well I ain’t drinking whiskey but I ain’t staying sober
But none of that matters
I don’t love you
Come over


I don’t love you




You still don’t love me
Come over

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Zoë Nutt's song Come Over depict a complicated and confusing relationship. The singer confesses to trying to put her lover away on a shelf as history repeats itself, but she finds that she cannot resist his pull. Even though they have not spoken in weeks, they are still close as they "haven't skipped a beat." There is no need to talk about their problems or try to mend fences because they are just playing house and not in a real relationship. However, despite knowing that they are not in love, they both crave the connection and want to be together, even if it is just for a short while.


The song portrays love as an addiction, where the singer feels stuck and can't stay in one place but cannot resist the temptation to be with her lover. The relationship is not healthy, and she knows that it's not right, but they still yearn for each other's company. Even though they know that they do not love each other, they cannot deny the deep connection they share. The song's lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia for a time when things were simple, and the relationship was easy, but now, everything is messy and complicated.


Line by Line Meaning

Thought I’d put you away on the back of the shelf
I thought I could forget you and move on with my life


But history’s always repeating itself
But I keep going back to you, just like in the past


There’s a long list of reasons I’m buried beneath
There are many reasons why I still have feelings for you


Tried to put you away but you ain’t hard to reach
I tried to forget you, but you're always within reach


Well I’m glad that you answered, that’s what I would say
I'm happy you picked up the phone, just as I expected


And you don’t have to ask what I did with my day
You don't need to know what I've been up to, we're just catching up


You’d never have known we ain’t spoken in weeks
It wouldn't seem like we haven't talked in weeks, we just click


We just missed the mark, but we ain’t skipped a beat
We may have missed the chance before, but it feels like we haven't missed a thing


No need to mend fences or work it on out
There's no need to resolve or discuss our past issues


There’ll be no resurrection, we’re just playing house
We're not getting back together, we're just pretending to be together


Just because it ain’t real don’t mean it’s pretend
Our relationship may not be real, but our feelings are


I don’t love you
I don't have romantic feelings for you


Can you come over again
But I still want you to come over and spend time with me


The worst of what happened we’d leave at the door
We'll forget about our past problems for the moment


Like the time that I said I don’t love you no more
For example, when I tried to end things before


Set our hearts, and memories, and feelings outside
We're leaving our emotions at the door and pretending they don't exist


We’re just lonesome and scared, and along for the ride
We're both just lonely and scared, so we're going along with the moment


The porch light is on you can let yourself in
Come over whenever you're ready, the door is open


We’re somewhere between an old lover and just friends
Our relationship is somewhere between lovers and friends


Well the flame’s burning out so we better get closer
Our relationship is fading, so we should spend more time together


You still don’t love me
Although we're spending time together, you still don't love me


Now I’m stuck where I am but can’t stay in this place
I feel trapped in my emotions, but I can't stay in this situation forever


But you never could tell from the look on my face
I try to hide my true feelings and put on a brave face


It’s a messed-up addiction, I need to get high
Our relationship is like a drug that I can't quit, despite knowing it's not healthy


We don’t think it’s wrong, but we know it ain’t right
We know our relationship is not healthy, but we continue anyway


No need to dwell on the things that we had
We don't need to talk about our past memories or relationship


We’ll keep telling ourselves that this isn’t that bad
We'll keep convincing ourselves that our current situation is okay


Well I ain’t drinking whiskey but I ain’t staying sober
I'm not drinking alcohol, but I'm not sober in the sense of my emotions


But none of that matters
In the end, none of it really matters


Come over
So, please come over
