An angsty little tune about a torrid, clandestine love affair that had to end.
lyrics
OVER YOU (Renee Harcourt)
I had a taste. I had a bite. And now I’m hungry every night.
My plate is empty. My cupboard’s bare. You left me hanging without a prayer.
I know we said it never should have happened. It might have been the cool night air.
CHORUS
I can’t get over you. I can’t forget no matter what I do.
I can’t get over you. I can’t find the will or the fortitude.
It’s like a test inside my head. I wake up wet in an empty bed.
You’re in my dreams. You’re on my mind. I can’t escape you. I’m crucified.
I know we said never again. Sensible discipline.
I can’t get over you. I can’t forget no matter what I do.
I can’t get over you. I can’t find the will or the fortitude.
BRIDGE
Time takes care of every little thing. Only time ticking by, only time ticking by
Every minute’s like a God damn day, only time ticking by, only time ticking by
Deadly sin. Attempted virtue. May prudence and faith divert you.
It’s always messy and never clean. A can of worms Saint Augustine.
I know we said it felt so right. Wrong is enticingly nice.
I can’t get over you. I can’t forget no matter what I do.
I can’t get over you. I can’t find the will or the fortitude.
