1. I was lying on the very top Of the highest building in town, Thinking over how fast it'd take me down, If I jump as you did before, When you dropped, Getting over me.
2. I am not of whom it may concern Some could say " you didn't know him well". Yes, but I'm still feeling the presence Of a stranger man in my life With his hell, Getting over me.
Refrain: Now I may only guess What you have been and how you have lived, Why you have been depressed If you had a chance, Why didn't you use it? If your life was horrid enough To lose it?
3. Yes, of course, you had the real cause, But for now it's all the same to you. Not to me, 'cause every night I'm forced To see a flying man in my dreams And not go mad, Getting over me.
