Getting Over You Lyrics by Lauv
Verse 1
Running from the morning
Think I hit a wall
Late nights, not you
Running from the moment
So I don’t recall
Late nights, not you
Waking up in a cold sweat
Someone else in this cold bed
I’d do anything to not be alone
All alone with the ceiling
All alone with this feeling
And I wonder if I’ll ever let go
Pre-Chorus
I tried spending my nights under someone new
But the truth is
I could spend my whole life getting over you
Chorus
Yeah, yeah
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Verse 2
Drowning in my coffee
To wash the alcohol
Out my bloodstream
Sitting here I wonder
If we hadn’t been at all
Who would I be?
Waking up in a cold sweat
Someone else in this cold bed
And I wonder if I’ll ever let go (Oh, oh)
Pre-Chorus
I tried spending my nights under someone new
But the truth is
I could spend my whole life getting over you
Chorus
Yeah, yeah
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Bridge
I tried spending my nights under someone new
But the truth is
I could spend my whole life getting over you
Outro
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
Getting over you
