Taylor Swift – Is It Over Now Lyrics (with Meaning)

Once The Flight Had Flown
With The Wilt Of The Rose
I Slept All Alone
You Still Wouldn’t Go

This verse conveys the aftermath of an event or relationship that has ended. The flight has flown, suggesting a departure or an end. The phrase “With The Wilt Of The Rose” signifies the end of something beautiful or promising. Despite this ending, the singer feels alone, yet the other person remains present, perhaps emotionally, refusing to leave the singer’s thoughts or life.

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 Somethin’ Greater

The phrase “Let’s Fast Forward To 300” suggests a jump to a future time. The singer encounters the other person in everyday situations like at a coffee shop, recognizing their profile and smile in unexpected places. The lyrics imply that the person reminisces about the singer before being labeled as dishonest. The individual appears to seek fulfillment in various relationships or situations but hasn’t found what they’re searching for.

Baby Was It Over
When She Laid Down On Your Couch
Was It Over
When He Unbuttoned My Blouse

This chorus questions the true end of the relationship. It references specific intimate moments with other people, questioning whether the affair truly ended at those points.

Come Here I Whispered In Your Ear
In Your Dream As You Passеd Out
Baby Was It Over Then
And Is It Over Now

The verse references a past interaction where the singer whispered something to the other person while they were asleep or intoxicated. This raises the question again about the relationship’s conclusion.

Whеn You Lost Control
Red Blood White Snow
Blue Dress On A Boat
Your New Girl Is My Clone

This verse symbolically describes a moment of chaos and transition. The image of “Red Blood White Snow” might depict a stark contrast or conflict. The mention of a blue dress and the idea that the new girl is a clone of the singer implies the person’s new relationship resembles the previous one.

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

This verse conveys the singer’s awareness of the other person’s actions, possibly caught in some form of indiscretion (“Flashing Lights”). Despite their knowledge, the singer chose to keep their own activities private and away from prying eyes. The lyrics hint at rumors surrounding the singer’s body and private moments.

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

This verse expresses a desire for the other person to react emotionally or to respond in a particular way. The singer contemplates extreme actions just to see if the person would react as desired, possibly indicating a longing for a particular response or acknowledgement.

Let’s Fast Forward To 300
Awkward Blind Dates Later Oh
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 Somethin’ Greater

This verse again talks about jumping ahead in time, suggesting a considerable gap. The lyrics indicate the other person’s ongoing romantic pursuits, potentially predicting that they might choose someone with specific traits, like blue eyes. The singer acknowledges the person’s search for something better in various relationships but implies dissatisfaction or inability to find it.

Baby Was It Over
When She Laid Down On Your Couch
Was It Over
When He Unbuttoned My Blouse

This chorus questions whether the relationship truly ended at specific intimate moments with others, reflecting on the nature of those moments and their impact on the relationship.

Come Here I Whispered In Your Ear
In Your Dream As You Passed Out
Baby Was It Over Then
And Is It Over Now

This verse reflects on a past interaction. The singer whispered something to the other person while they were asleep or unconscious, and questions whether that moment marked the end of the relationship or if it’s truly 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

Here, the singer implies they were aware of the other person’s actions, possibly being caught in a compromising situation (“Flashing Lights”). The singer then acknowledges their own discretion in keeping private moments concealed from public view, contrasting against the rumors and whispers about their personal life.

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

This verse reveals a desire for a particular reaction or acknowledgment from the other person. The singer muses about extreme actions just to provoke a specific response, hoping the person would come running and say something they’ve been wanting to hear, but it hasn’t happened.

Flashing Lights
Oh Lord Oh Oh
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
Flashing Lights But No

The chorus returns to the imagery of “Flashing Lights,” suggesting an event or revelation. The singer expresses a hope for a certain acknowledgment or response from the other person, wishing they would be there and say what the singer has been longing to hear, yet that desire or expectation remains unfulfilled.
