[Chorus]
It's over when it's over
Ain't it, baby, ain't it?
Rips ya like a dagger
Can't it baby, Can't it
Wish we could do it over
Damn it, baby, Damn it
We had it in the air, we just couldn't land it

[Verse 1]
It's the first snap of the last straw
Where regrets outlast the alcohol
It's a cold sweat, in an empty bed
And dreams are like a knife
When you're hanging by a thread
Ain't no "Maybe we can make it if we just play the right cards"

[Chorus]
It's over when it's over
Ain't it, baby, ain't it?
Rips ya like a dagger
Can't it baby, Can't it
Wish we could do it over
Damn it, baby, Damn it
We had it in the air, we just couldn't land it

[Verse 2]
It's a white flag
It's a stop sign
It's the last long drag, on a Marlboro light
It's a long night, beating up the past
Know when the first lie, is going to hit you back
This ain't no gone for good drill
Or no goodbye false alarm, it's over
Yeah it's over[x2]

There ain't no better way
We could make it work
It's a blank page
When you're outta words
Yeah it's a flat line
It's a heart attack
Yeah it's too far gone, to be shocked back
It's a one way, with nowhere to turn
It's a no brakes, baby, crash and burn
Ain't no map going to ever bring us back
From where we are

[Chorus]
It's over when it's over
Ain't it, baby, ain't it?
Rips ya like a dagger
Can't it baby, Can't it
Wish we could do it over
Damn it, baby, Damn it
We had it in the air, we just couldn't land it

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
