Over You
Lyrics
Crowded rooftop, downtown
Muted by music, scanning the crowd
Turned the corner, looked around
A familiar silhouette stood out
Looking through window
At a moonlit city sky
I'd usually tap you on the arm
But tonight I just walked by
I didn't turn you around
Didn't ask how you've been
Didn't need you to see me
Didn't want us again
Didn't make sure to smile
Didn't talk to your friends
Didn't save any face
Didn't try to pretend
I wondered a while
If it'd ever be true…
When you didn't need to know
In a moment I knew
I'm over you, over you oooh
Over you, over, over you-u-u-u
I sipped in silence down the hall
No turning back, didn't care if you saw
It's the first time I recall
What you thought was an afterthought
Sitting down with someone else
At our table by the door
Felt a smile cross my face
Cuz unlike every time before
I didn't turn you around
Didn't ask how you've been
Didn't need you to see me
Didn't want us again
Didn't make sure to smile
Didn't talk to your friends
Didn't save any face
Didn't try to pretend
I wondered a while
If it'd ever be true…
When you didn't need to know
In a moment I knew
I'm over you, over you oooh
Over you, over, over you-u-u-u
Over you, over you oooh
Over you, over, over you-u-u-u
Didn't turn you around
Didn't ask how you've been
Didn't need you to see me
Didn't want us again
Didn't make sure to smile
I didn't talk to your friends
Didn't save any face
Didn't try to pretend
I wondered a while
If it'd ever be true…
When you didn't need to know
In a moment I knew
I'm over you, over you oooh
Over you, over, over you-u-u-u
Over you, over you oooh
Over you, over, over you-u-u-u
Crowded rooftop, downtown
Muted by music, scanning the crowd
Turned the corner, looked around
A familiar silhouette stood out
Looking through window
At a moonlit city sky
I'd usually tap you on the arm
But tonight I just walked by
I didn't turn you around
Didn't ask how you've been
Didn't need you to see me
Didn't want us again
Didn't make sure to smile
Didn't talk to your friends
Didn't save any face
Didn't try to pretend
I wondered a while
If it'd ever be true…
When you didn't need to know
In a moment I knew
I'm over you, over you oooh
Over you, over, over you-u-u-u
I sipped in silence down the hall
No turning back, didn't care if you saw
It's the first time I recall
What you thought was an afterthought
Sitting down with someone else
At our table by the door
Felt a smile cross my face
Cuz unlike every time before
I didn't turn you around
Didn't ask how you've been
Didn't need you to see me
Didn't want us again
Didn't make sure to smile
Didn't talk to your friends
Didn't save any face
Didn't try to pretend
I wondered a while
If it'd ever be true…
When you didn't need to know
In a moment I knew
I'm over you, over you oooh
Over you, over, over you-u-u-u
Over you, over you oooh
Over you, over, over you-u-u-u
Didn't turn you around
Didn't ask how you've been
Didn't need you to see me
Didn't want us again
Didn't make sure to smile
I didn't talk to your friends
Didn't save any face
Didn't try to pretend
I wondered a while
If it'd ever be true…
When you didn't need to know
In a moment I knew
I'm over you, over you oooh
Over you, over, over you-u-u-u
Over you, over you oooh
Over you, over, over you-u-u-u
