Story Behind The Song
The story is recognizable and universal.
Song Description
Heartbreak and regret and longing are the aftermath of a relationship that gets off to a good start, but fails to get wings. Allison sings the heartfelt lyric without sentimentality, and only at the end when the bass guitar enters the arrangement do we feel more deeply the sadness and touch of desperation in the lyric.

Lyrics
I CAN'T GET OVER YOU
Now I guess that I don't expect us to go out on that day that I spoke about
It's clear that you're still with another and I don't wish to be in your way at all
And so you leave me here all alone, knowing that that's what I chose, to be out on my own
I left my situation to be sure that you could see I was here for you and totally free
And now I can't get over you
I can't get over you
Someone tell me what to do, I can't get over you
Remember back when we had just met, oh how good feelings get when I think of then
And now I want a chance to explore this just to see if there's more to this than being friends
And still you leave me here all alone knowing that's what I chose to be out on my own
I left my situation to see, what about you and me? what could that really be?
And now I can't get over you
I can't get over you
Someone tell me what to do, I can't get over you
I can't get over you
I can't get over you
Someone tell me what to do
I can't get over you
