Yeah right!

Break down
And shake for me
Nothing ever is the way
You want it to be
Nothing even tastes right
Now that it's over

Break down
And shake for me
Don't write words
Unless you want me to read them
Nothing really matters
Now that it's over

Maybe we can be friends
Now that we're older
We can have fun
Like we did in the early days
Now that it's over

Yeah right!

Break down
And shake for me
Nothing ever seems
The way it ought to be
Nothing ever seems right
Now that it's over

Yeah now maybe we can be friends
Maybe we can be closer
We can have fun
Like we did in the old days
Now that it's over

My bad dreams just don't seem the same
Baby without you
I wish you were willing to accept the blame
Yeah for everything you do

My nightmares just don't scare me now
Baby without you
I wish that I could find the words to tell
In the best way possible
You and your friends to go to hell

Ooh, break up time
Is never easy to do
Nothing ever ends
The way you want it to
Nothing seems to make sense
Now that it's over

Yeah now maybe we can be friends
Yeah now that you're leaving
You can be nice to me
Maybe I'm dreaming
I am a lot better now than just OK
Maybe I am just waking up
In my own way
Now that it's over

Now that it's over

My bad dreams just don't seem the same
Baby without you
I wish you were willing to accept the blame
Yeah for all the shitty things you do
Nightmares just don't scare me now
Baby without you
I wish that I could find the words to tell
You to go politely go fuck yourself
Yeah now that it's over

Now that it's over [Repeat x4]

    General Comment:I love this song. One of my favorites by Everclear. I had a bitter break-up with a girlfriend a few months ago, who I lived with for over 2 years. I love playing this in my song list when I'm alone getting drunk. The absolute best break up song there is! I love how the song builds up and ends. That last line is exactly what I think of you, Riley!
