Is It Over Now

Song meaning of Is It Over Now by Taylor Swift

"Is It Over Now?" is a narrative-based song that portrays Swift's unhappiness and experience with rumours following a romantic engagement.

Is It Over Now lyrics by Taylor Swift

Once the flight had flown

With the wilt of the rose

I slept all alone

You still wouldn't go

Let's fast forward to 300 takeout coffees later

I see your profile and your smile on unsuspecting waiters

You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor

You search in every maiden's bed for something greater

Baby, was it over when she laid down on your couch?

Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse?

"Come here," I whispered in your ear in your dream as you passed out

Baby, was it over then?

And is it over now?

When you lost control

Red blood, white snow

Blue dress on a boat

Your new girl is my clone

And did you think I didn't see you? There were flashing lights

At least I had the decency to keep my nights out of sight

Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs, and my whispered sighs

Oh Lord, I think about jumping

Off of very tall somethings

Just to see you come running

And say the one thing I've been wanting

But no!

Let's fast forward to 300 awkward blind dates later

If she's got blue eyes, I will surmise that you'll probably date her

You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor

You search in every model's bed for something greater

Baby, was it over when she laid down on your couch?

Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse?

"Come here," I whispered in your ear in your dream as you passed out

Baby, was it over then?

And is it over now?

Think I didn't see you? There were flashing lights

At least I had the decency to keep my nights out of sight

Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs, and my whispered sighs

Oh Lord, I think about jumping

Off of very tall somethings

Just to see you come running (Running)

And say the one thing I've been wanting

But no!

(Flashing lights, oh Lord) Let's fast forward to 300 takeout coffees later

(Flashing lights) I was hoping you'd be there

And say the one thing I've been wanting, but no (Oh Lord, oh Lord)
