Lyrics
I woke up with your memory dancing circles in my head,
But I'm tired of the replay, so I'm getting up instead.
I throw on something brighter just to chase away the blue,
'Cause every step I take today is one step past you.
Your shadow's in the doorway and your laugh is in the street,
I see you in the strangers and the rhythm of the beat.
But I'm learning how to shake it, how to break the déjà vu --
Yeah, everything reminds me, but I'm pushing through.
Chorus
I'm getting over you, even when you're in my mind,
In the songs on every corner, in the moments I rewind.
I'm dancing through the heartache, finding something new to do --
Yeah, I'm getting stronger every day I'm getting over you.
I pass the café window where we used to spend our nights,
And the neon in the glass still reflects our old highlights.
But I'm walking with a rhythm that you never understood,
And the beat is getting louder -- guess I'm feeling pretty good.
(Bridge)
Maybe healing isn't quiet, maybe heartbreak has a sound,
Maybe losing you was lifting me from where I once felt bound.
So I'll turn the music higher, let the future pull me through --
'Cause I'm finally moving forward, and I'm not looking back at you.
(Chorus)
I'm getting over you, even when you're in my mind,
In the songs on every corner, in the moments I rewind.
I'm dancing through the heartache, finding something new to do --
Yeah, I'm getting stronger every day I'm getting over you.
So I think of all the memories that used to weigh me down,
I'm trading them for freedom and a brand-new kind of sound.
And maybe someday I'll forget you -- but today, this much is true:
I'm alive, I'm moving on, and I'm getting over you.
