About Should I Feel That It's Over

"Should I Feel That It's Over" is a song by English singer Alison Moyet, released in 2002 as the lead single from her fifth studio album Hometime. It was also the debut single on Moyet's new label Sanctuary Records. It was written by Moyet and Pete Glenister, and produced by Tim Norfolk and Bob Locke under the name The Insects. "Should I Feel That It's Over" was Moyet's first single release since 1995. This was caused by a dispute between Moyet and Sony Music Entertainment, her former record label, who wanted her to produce what they saw as more "commercial" music. Hometime was the first album by Moyet to be released on Sanctuary Records. Although the single failed to enter the UK Top 100, it entered the Top 200, peaking at #144. No promotional video was filmed for the single although Moyet performed the song as part of the coverage of Glastonbury 2003. She also performed the song on the Jools Holland show along with the follow-up single "Do You Ever Wonder". The single's two B-Sides, "Tongue Tied" and "Nobody's Darling", were exclusive to the single.

Could you wake me up when it's over
Well maybe I'll sit this out, I think I know the score
You read to me before
Why wrap it up so precisely
I know what you're bringing me, I keep them on the side
With gone and nevermore

Should I feel that it's over, all over
And are you here when I hold you, I wonder

You wanted days to remember
September without the fall, a house without a wall
A given in surprise
I never match you for missing
And you call this kissing , I feel closer to the sky
You never ask me why

Should I feel that it's over, all over
(Dry your eyes, outside vermillion skies eases the lies
Loose the ties that keep you under)
And are you here when I hold you, I wonder
(And I realize, when the sun is in your eyes it's no wonder)
