Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) Lyrics
[Intro: Taylor Swift]
(Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it?)
[Verse 1: Taylor Swift]
Once the flight had flown (Uh-huh)
With the wilt of the rose (Uh-huh)
I slept all alone (Uh-huh)
You still wouldn't go
[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift]
Let's fast forward to three hundred 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
[Chorus: Taylor Swift]
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 passеd out, baby
Was it over then? And is it over now?
[Post-Chorus: Taylor Swift]
(Is it? Is it? Is it?)
[Verse 2: Taylor Swift]
Whеn you lost control (Uh-huh)
Red blood, white snow (Uh-huh)
Blue dress on a boat (Uh-huh)
Your new girl is my clone
[Bridge: Taylor Swift]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Taylor Swift]
Let's fast forward to three hundred awkward blind dates later (Oh)
If she's got blue eyes, I will surmise that you'll probably date her (Oh, no)
You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor (Oh)
You search in every model's bed for something greater, baby
[Chorus: Taylor Swift]
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?
[Post-Chorus: Taylor Swift]
Uh-huh
(Is it? Is it? Is it?)
Uh-huh
(Is it? Is it?)
[Bridge: Taylor Swift]
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
[Outro: Taylor Swift]
(Flashing lights; Oh, Lord; Oh)
Let's fast forward to three hundred takeout coffees later (Oh)
(Flashing lights) I was hoping you'd be there
And say the one thing (Oh, Lord)
I've been wanting (Oh, Lord)
But no
(Was it? Was it? Was it? Was it? Was it? Was it?)
Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) Lyrics Meaning
"Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version)" by Taylor Swift explores themes of heartbreak, betrayal, and the aftermath of a failed relationship. Taylor Swift reflects on the emotional toll of a past romance, questioning whether the pain has truly subsided and if her ex-partner has moved on. The lyrics depict a journey through the stages of heartache, with vivid imagery and a mix of introspective moments and confrontational tones.
[Verse 1]
In the opening verse, Swift sets the scene by describing a moment when the relationship seemed to have reached its end ("Once the flight had flown"). The metaphor of the wilted rose suggests the decay and fading of love. Despite the apparent conclusion, there is a lingering sense of attachment, as Swift confesses to sleeping alone while her ex-partner remains in her thoughts.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus fast-forwards to a future where the pain persists despite the passage of time and numerous attempts to distract oneself ("three hundred takeout coffees later"). The reference to seeing the ex-partner's profile and smile on unsuspecting waiters indicates the haunting presence of memories and emotions that resurface unexpectedly.
[Chorus]
The chorus delves into the complexity of emotions and the lingering impact of infidelity. Swift questions the true finality of the relationship, asking whether it was truly over when her ex-partner engaged with someone else ("Was it over when she laid down on your couch?"). The juxtaposition of her whispered invitation during intimate moments adds a layer of vulnerability and betrayal.
[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus echoes the central question of whether the relationship is truly over, emphasizing the uncertainty and doubt that linger in Swift's mind.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Swift describes a moment when her ex-partner lost control, symbolized by "Red blood, white snow." The mention of a blue dress on a boat suggests a specific memory linked to the infidelity, and the assertion that the new girlfriend is her "clone" implies that the ex-partner is repeating patterns with someone similar to Swift.
[Bridge]
The bridge exposes the pain of being aware of the ex-partner's actions, as Swift acknowledges seeing them in compromising situations ("flashin' lights"). The lyrics convey Swift's internal struggle and the external rumors surrounding her personal life, with a touch of desperation and a hint of contemplating extreme actions to elicit a response.
[Chorus]
The chorus is repeated with the same questioning tone, emphasizing the ongoing turmoil and the unresolved feelings surrounding the past relationship.
[Outro]
The outro returns to the theme of longing and the passage of time, with Swift expressing hope that her ex-partner might come to regret the breakup. The mention of takeout coffees as a recurring motif highlights the mundane routine of trying to move on, while the repetition of the question "Was it?" emphasizes the lingering uncertainty and emotional baggage that the singer carries.
