Introduction
When you hear the opening chords of “Is It Still Over?” by Randy Travis, it’s like stepping into a time machine, taking you back to a place where country music spoke directly to the heart. Randy Travis has a way of making you feel every word he sings, and this song is no exception. It’s not just a song; it’s a story—a story many of us can relate to.
Imagine sitting by the phone, wondering if that relationship you thought was over might still have some life left in it. That’s the essence of “Is It Still Over?” It captures that lingering hope we sometimes hold onto, even when we know deep down that things might not turn out the way we want. Randy’s voice carries a mix of resignation and longing that tugs at your heartstrings, making you feel every bit of the uncertainty and yearning the lyrics convey.
What makes this song special is its simplicity. It doesn’t need fancy words or complicated melodies to get its point across. The beauty lies in its straightforwardness—Randy’s smooth, baritone voice, the gentle twang of the guitar, and the lyrics that speak to a universal experience. It’s the kind of song you can play on a loop when you’re feeling reflective, trying to make sense of your own feelings.
And let’s not forget the humor woven into the lyrics. There’s a sly wit in how the song addresses the absurdity of waiting for something that might never happen. It’s like Randy’s saying, “I know this is a bit ridiculous, but we’ve all been there, haven’t we?” That little wink to the listener makes the song all the more endearing.
“Is It Still Over?” isn’t just a song—it’s a reminder that sometimes, it’s okay to not have all the answers. It’s okay to hold onto a bit of hope, even if it’s just for a little while. And in the end, whether it’s over or not, we can take comfort in knowing we’re not alone in our uncertainty.

Lyrics
Being without you has turned out to be so inconvenient
And wishing I was with you just seems to use up all my time
You been gone so long that it’s hard to recall just how the dream went
And all but this broken heart in me, I guess is doing’ fine
Is it still over? Are we still through?
Since my phone still ain’t ringing
I assume it still ain’t you
I’ve half a mind to take the time to find somebody new
But I’m not to sure that I’m still over you
That lie that I tried to slip by you was told with good intentions
It was just another way to say, “I love you” and protect you from the truth
And half a pound of cure is surely worth a half an ounce of pure prevention
And trying to explain while I’m insane’s the hardest thing I’ve ever tried to do
Is it still over? Are we still through?
Since my phone still ain’t ringing
I assume it still ain’t you
Well, I’ve half a mind to take the time to find somebody new
But I’m not sure that I’m still over you
Is it still over? Are we still through?
Since my phone still ain’t ringing
I assume it still ain’t you
Well, I’ve half a mind to take the time to find somebody new
But I’m not sure that I’m still over you
If I repeat myself it’s ’cause I’ve nothing else to do
And I’m not sure that I’m still over you
I’m not sure that I’m still over you
