Over Now

About Over Now

"Over Now" is a song by the American rock band Alice in Chains. Written by Jerry Cantrell, who also sings lead vocals, it is the final song on their third studio album, Alice in Chains (1995), and it is about the breakup of the band that took place in 1995. It was a single from the band's MTV Unplugged performance, and was used to close the televised broadcast. The B-side consists of the original studio version of the song. It peaked at No. 4 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, and at No. 24 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1996. The MTV Unplugged version of "Over Now" is the longest song that Alice in Chains has released as a single, clocking in at seven minutes and twelve seconds. The song was included on the box set Music Bank (1999) and the compilation album The Essential Alice in Chains (2006). The MTV Unplugged concert was the first and (as of 2019) only time that Alice in Chains performed the song. It was performed again 23 years later at Jerry Cantrell's solo concert at the Pico Union Project in Los Angeles on December 6, 2019. more »

Yeah, it's over now 
But I can breathe somehow 
When it's all worn out
I'd rather go without 

You know its been on my mind 
Could you stand right there 
Look me straight in the eye and say 
That it's over now 

We pay our debt sometime 
Well it's over now
Yet I can see somehow 
When its all gone wrong 
It's hard to be so strong 

You know its been on my mind 
Could you stand right there 
Look me straight in the eye and say 
That it's over now 

We pay our debt sometime 
Yeah, we pay our debt sometime 
We pay our debt sometime 
Yeah, we pay our debt sometime 
Guess it's over now
I seem alive somehow 

When it's out of sight
Just wait and do your time 
You know its been on my mind 
Could I stand right here 
Look myself in the eye and say 
That it's over now 

We pay our debt sometime 
Yeah, we pay our debt sometime 
We pay our debt sometime 
Yeah, we pay our debt sometime
