Over Me Now
Echoes of Unrequited Love: Natalie Simons' 'Over Me Now' Story
Lyrics
Making stuff up
Making up stories or fabricating information
While I walk by your house every weekend
Walking past your house regularly on weekends
Still dreaming of
Still having dreams or aspirations
The barstools your mom had in the kitchen
Recalling specific barstools in your mom's kitchen
I'm not losing my mind over you
Expressing resilience, not going crazy over the person
It's a steady type of hurt that I'm feeling
Experiencing a constant, lingering pain
Plus you're probably doing fine
Assuming that you're doing well without me
So I'll try not to waste time
Not wanting to waste time on grieving
With my grieving
Acknowledging the need to move on from sorrow
I'm sure you're over me now
Believing that you have moved on from the relationship
Last time I saw you
Recalling the last encounter at a November show
Was at your show in November
Stopping to greet and interact with you
I stopped to say hello
Expressing a desire to reconnect
You said we should get together
Receiving a polite suggestion to get together
I knew you were just being nice
Recognizing politeness but doubting sincerity
We both know you're polite
Acknowledging mutual understanding of being polite
But I thought never say never
Considering possibilities despite reservations
So I waved to your mom
Waving to your mom as a part of the encounter
And she waved, moved on
Observing your mom's response and moving on
And I left Sacramento
Leaving the location, possibly Sacramento
I'm sure you're over me now
Reiterating the belief that you have moved on
I've written too many songs
Having written numerous songs about the past relationship
About the 3 months we we're together
Reflecting on the three months spent together
So I guess I'm not over it
Indicating lingering emotional attachment
My actions have changed
Noting personal growth and change since last winter
I swear I'm not the same as I was last winter
Acknowledging the struggle to fully move on
And I'm not over it
Emphasizing the ongoing emotional impact
There will come a day when we go separate ways
Anticipating a future separation and change of paths
Leave this godforsaken town
Desiring to leave the current town
And I'll find someone else of at least find myself
Expecting personal growth or finding someone new
And you'll do the same but I still won't be over it
Acknowledging the persistence of emotional impact
Still won't be over it
Reiterating the difficulty of getting over the relationship
But I'm sure you're over me now
Reaffirming the belief that you have moved on
