WHEN WILL I BE OVER IT

from THE STORY SO FAR​.​.​. by Jack Howard

/

about

When Will I Be Over It was originally released on Let's Fall In Love in 2004. Nicky Del Rey on guitar, Barry Stockley on bass, Aidan Macartney on trombone, Sharky Ramos on drums, Tim Neal on organ. Some megasonic moments in this song! A really good, accurate, break-up lyric, I think.

lyrics

If I see you walking down the street
I give the briefest nod and walk on by
And if you call my name, my head is down, my heart is hard
I turn the corner out of sight

I read my morning paper and I drink my morning coffee
But I know that I am faking, these encounters leave me shaken
It's not as if I'm broken but I keep it all unspoken
And when I find myself alone, there's nothing left

Oh but when will I be over it
Tell me when will I be over this affair

I hear you moved away, you left without a trace
I wonder if you found the shore
The operator says, there's no-one by that name
I wonder if you'd ever come back to my door

And I know that I should say something like I hope you're happy
And I hope that you have found somebody new
But you know that I'd be lying because this jealousy's like fire
And I lie in bed and dream of sweet revenge

Oh but when will I be over it, etc.
