Gotta Get Over You

if i wanted to believe you, i guess i could

and if i wanted to understand you, i guess i would

but my days would go blank and i'd be freezing naked

'cause stripped of you, well, that's modestly all that i know

so i'm not ready to get over you 'cause

if i gotta get over you, i gotta get over every piece that puzzled you and me

if i gotta get over you, i gotta get over feeling my heart and tasting and seeing

if i gotta get over you, i gotta get over Earth, Wind, and Fire

change the soap in the shower

if i gotta get over you, i gotta get over singing this song for hundreds of hours

so boy while you chip in some understanding, i'll make a deal with my mess

and cleaning up what i want to BE SAYING is my first big step

when i close my eyes and everything i run into

is stubbing me with bruises of memories of you

i'm not ready to get over you 'cause

if i gotta get over you, i gotta get over every piece that puzzled you and me

if i gotta get over you, i gotta get over feeling my heart and tasting and seeing

if i gotta get over you, i gotta get over Earth, Wind, and Fire

change the soap in the shower

if i gotta get over you, i gotta get over singing this song for hundreds of hours

waffle house jokes and romantic comedies

avon cologne and credit card entries

butter on popcorn and that mercury sable

the whole darn state of north carolina

my pink leather jacket and cherry hi-see

when i'm finally without you

can't figure out what'll be left of me

if i gotta get over you, i gotta get over every piece that puzzled you and me

if i gotta get over you, i gotta get over feeling my heart and tasting and feeling

if i gotta get over you, i gotta get over Earth, Wind, and Fire

change the soap in the shower

if i gotta get over you, i gotta STOP singing this song for hundreds of hours
