I Thought It Was Over Lyrics
Well, you were there when the wall came down
A baby king with a grown man's crown
And we played in the sun as the curtain was crumbling
Well I was young and I could not see
Said if you go won't you please take me
And you told me that I would forget you eventually
Yeah, yeah
I thought it was over but it's not
I thought it was over but it's not
I'm spinning in circles I can't stop
I thought it was over but it's not
I'm in love
With a fool
And you don't know what you've lost
It hurts from the bottom to the top
I thought it was over but it's not
Another year and the job was done
The old republic was dead and gone
And the new way of living would be a reality
But it's a while since you shut that door
I lie awake ain't asleep no more
Though the nightmare is gone now I don't have a dream
I thought it was over but it's not
I thought it was over but it's not
I'm spinning in circles I can't stop
I thought it was over but it's not
I'm in love
With a fool
And you don't know what you've lost
It hurts from the bottom to the top
I thought it was over but it's not
Does anybody know?
Does anybody know?
Does anybody know?
I'm spinning in circles I can't stop
I thought it was over but it's not
I'm in love
With a fool
And you don't know what you've lost
It hurts from the bottom to the top
I thought it was over but it's not
A baby king with a grown man's crown
And we played in the sun as the curtain was crumbling
Said if you go won't you please take me
And you told me that I would forget you eventually
Yeah, yeah
I thought it was over but it's not
I thought it was over but it's not
I'm in love
With a fool
And you don't know what you've lost
It hurts from the bottom to the top
I thought it was over but it's not
The old republic was dead and gone
And the new way of living would be a reality
I lie awake ain't asleep no more
Though the nightmare is gone now I don't have a dream
I thought it was over but it's not
I thought it was over but it's not
I'm in love
With a fool
And you don't know what you've lost
It hurts from the bottom to the top
I thought it was over but it's not
Does anybody know?
Does anybody know?
I thought it was over but it's not

And you don't know what you've lost
It hurts from the bottom to the top
I thought it was over but it's not

Keep hearing this on the radio,am i missing something, its absolute garbage like all their other stuff.Who buys this rubbish?
Well, most of their lyrics definitely aren't great poetry. And as the songwriter Dan said once, he writes his lyrics five minutes before they are recorded.

BUT the music is simply gorgeous. They revive and renew the Beatles/Queen/Elton spirit that's deeply rooted in the European music culture. I Though It Was Over is basically a simple disco song. But it's quality beyond any modern limit. It rocks!

THE FEELING ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
this song is sooo addictive and catchy!! love the feeling xx
It looks to me as if the song is (at least in part) about the fall of Communism in Germany. The first lines are blatantly about the fall in 1989 (references to the wall and the curtain) and then the second verse "another year and the job was done..." refers to the disappearance of East Germany a year later.
Yeah definitely!
Yeah definitely!
"when the wall came down" "the [iron] curtain was crumbling" "the old republic was dead and gone"

But I think it's more a metaphor for the rest of the song than actually being about the fall of the Berlin Wall.

I think the lyrics are pretty straightforward in this song. He was in love a long time ago and though he thought he had moved on, he's still in love and that hurts him. Awesome song, by the way.
Can anyone transcribe what the choir sings in the verses? I simply can't hear it!
Ok, I've figured out what the choir sings in the two verses:
I could not see Said please take me Told me And I nearly did
I shut that door I sleep on more Nightmare I don't have a dream
