Over My Shoulder Lyrics By Mike The Mechanics

The song “Over My Shoulder” is a very sentimental track by the British pop-rock duo Mike + The Mechanics from their 1995 studio album “Beggar on a Beach of Gold.” It was written by Mike Rutherford and Paul Carrack. In the song, the singer is expressing regret and reminiscing about lost love. It is a really nostalgic-sounding track as the singer sings about a lover he allowed to slip away.

He regrets his decision to let her slip out of his life and somehow blames himself for making such errors in judgment. He wishes he could turn back time to be when she was still around him because he remembers how great they had it together. The lyrics are quite poetic-like and questioning; I guess most people can actually relate to it one way or another.

Over My Shoulder lyrics

Over my shoulder, running away
Feels like I’m falling, losing my day
Cold and dry
Cold and dry
Fog out my daylight, torture my night
Feels like I’m falling far out of sight
Cold, drunk
Tired, lost
Over my shoulder, running away
Feels like Im falling, losing my way
Cold, dry
Cold and dry
Fog out my daylight, torture my night
Feels like I’m falling far out of sight
Cold, drunk
Cold and drunk
