Over My Shoulder - Mike + The Mechanics

We came so close Like we brushed our hands in the dark As we flew by each other And through the years Even though you felt so far I don't think I recovered I tried to ignore you Now I'm left searching for you I'm holding onto the light of day Cause without you, the night's growing colder I'm hoping one day I'll see your face If I look for you over my shoulder I'm tired of thinking about the way If I tried, maybe I might've known you I'm hoping one day I'll see your face If I look for you over my shoulder Now and then when I Make my way back home I swear I see you But city streets always Make you feel alone They hide the things they need to I tried to ignore you Now I'm left searching for you I tried to ignore you Now I'm left searching for you I'm holding onto the light of day Cause without you, the night's growing colder I'm hoping one day I'll see your face If I look for you over my shoulder I'm tired of thinking about the way If I tried, maybe I might've known you I'm hoping one day I'll see your face If I look for you over my shoulder You were always hard to ignore But someone always came round before

Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye I never dreamed it could be over I never wanted to say goodbye Looking back over my shoulder With an aching deep in my heart I wish we were starting over Oh instead of drifting so far apart Everybody told me you were leaving Funny I should be the last to know Baby please tell me that I'm dreaming Cos I just never want to let you go Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye Turning my heart over and over I never wanted to say googbye I don't mind everybody laughing But it's enough to make a grown man cry I can feel you slipping through my fingers And I don't even know the reason why Every day it's a losing battle Just to smile and hold my head up high Could it be we belong together Baby won't you give me one more try One more try Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye I never dreamed it could be over I never wanted to say googbye Looking back over my shoulder There's an aching feeling inside Cutting me up, deeper and deeper Fills me with a sadness that I can't hide Uuuhh Oh you baby Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye I never dreamed it could be over I never wanted to say googbye Looking back over my shoulder I can see I can see that look in your eye I never dreamed I never dreamed it could be over I never wanted I never wanted to say goodbye Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye I never dreamed it could be over I never wanted to say goodbye Uhh I'm looking back

Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye I never dreamed it could be over I never wanted to say goodbye Looking back over my shoulder With an aching deep in my heart I wish we were starting over Oh instead of drifting so far apart So far apart Looking back over my shoulder I can see that look in your eye Turning my heart over and over I never wanted to say goodbye To say goodbye Looking back over my shoulder With an aching deep in my heart Cutting me up, deeper and deeper Fills me with a sadness that I can't hide With an aching deep in my heart Cutting me up, deeper and deeper Fills me with a sadness that I can't hide That I can't hide

There's a new moon over my shoulder and an old love still in my heart I remember now that I'm older what you told me the day we had to part You promised with the new moon you'd be coming back to me But many moons have passed and I'm waitin' patiently There's a new moon over my shoulder and an old love still in my heart [ Guitar - piano ] (There's a new moon over my shoulder and an old love still in my heart I remember now that I'm older what you told me the day we had to part) You promised with the new moon...

Oh the grass is greener everywhere you look So many girls out there I could write a book That one's ass is leaner This one's like Serena But I think your silhouette is meaner And even though you've got small breasts Well to me they look the best I confess I wanna go home and get you undressed See your problems of self-esteem Could be self-fulfilling prophecies So probably your best policy is to talk to me Stop looking over your shoulder Cause if it was up to me I would make you feel right Stop looking over your shoulder Cause if it was up to me I would make you feel right Oh the grass is greener everywhere you look So many people stare they got you scared of the girls out there This one's cola-bottle size And that one's more of a model size I know you heard this a hundred times To me what matters is what's inside And a little backside too Is that bad, is that taboo? Can I get a bird's eye view? You see, your problems of self-esteem Could be self-fulfilling prophecies So arguably your best policy should be talking to me Talking to me Stop looking over your shoulder Cause if it was up to me I would make you feel right Stop looking over your shoulder Cause if it was up to me I would make you feel right So next time that you're feeling down Turn your frown into a crown Put yourself in an evening gown And I'll roll around Rip it off Break you off JetBlue Airways taking off Couple of days where the sand is soft Oh, aren't you glad you took the weekend off? Cause it's those little imperfections that make beauty in my eyes I wanna be in the intersection of your thighs And you worry about your size It's nonsense It's not a contest And besides If it was a contest, you'd win it I wanna take a bath with you in it Bathroom sex, you with it I did it, I'm lying I'll do it with you if you wanna try I've seen you cracking a smile Guess I have to stay for a while Stop looking over your shoulder Cause if it was up to me I would make you feel right Over your shoulder Love is what you're searching for Over your shoulder You don't have to look anymore

Another day has passed me by And there's an island in the sun To see me through Another day in paradise But there's no reason, there's no rhyme Without you Here comes the night (night) Here comes the dreaming of you Breathing your love in me Here comes the night (night) Here comes the feeling I've been Waiting here for so long I've been waiting here for so long There's a time and there's a place When we can share the silver night Silent room In my bed an empty space Cos there's no other in my life Only you Here comes the night (night) Here comes the dreaming of you Breathing your love in me Here comes the night (night) Here comes the feeling I've been Waiting here for so long I've been waiting here for so long Here comes the night Here comes the dreaming of you Breathing your love in me Here comes the night (night) Here comes the feeling I've been Waiting here for so long I've been waiting here for so long

Get up Do you remember how we used to say Nothing could ever, oh, stand in our way?
