  • Long drive, bitter day
    Grey skies cover Michigan
    In no time, I'll her away
    And after that, I'll never see her again
    You know that we had everything
    So why are you happening to me?
    Oh star crossed lovers torn apart
    We crossed five oceans but I'm back where I started

    (Hey!) Now that it's over, I'm moving on
    (Hey!) I'm not getting under your landslide
    (Hey!) Now that it's over, I'll walk away
    I'm moving on
    (Hey!) Now that it's over, I'm moving on
    (Hey!) I got a life of mine to live
    (Hey!) Now that it's over, I'll walk away
    I'm moving on

    Driving home this time alone
    No idea where my life will go
    And now her head's on another chest
    As she forgets everything we had
    You know that we had everything
    Oh, star-crossed lovers torn apart
    We crossed five oceans but I'm back where I started

    (Hey!) Now that it's over, I'm moving on
    (Hey!) I'm not getting under your landslide
    (Hey!) Now that it's over, I'll walk away
    I'm moving on
    (Hey!) Now that it's over, I'm moving on
    (Hey!) I got a life of mine to live
    (Hey!) Now that it's over, I'll walk away
    I'm moving on

    How'd you go turn it off
    When the night before is the best that it ever got
    Where'd you go zombie girl?
    Who put all the poison into your world?
    It's not the sex and it's not the laughs
    It's how it felt just to hold your hand
    It's not the lonely, not the sadness
    It's star-crossed lovers, brokenhearted

    (Hey!) Now that it's over, I'm moving on
    (Hey!) I'm not getting under your landslide
    (Hey!) Now that it's over, I'll walk away
    I'm moving on
    (Hey!) Now that it's over, I'm moving on
    (Hey!) I gotta life of mine to live
    (Hey!) Now that it's over, I'll walk away
    I'm moving on Writer/s: Dan Torelli, Matthew Leone, Nathan Leone
