1. Its the words "lost" and "gone", which go on forever (recurring) so it's "Lost and gone forever".

2. Its the word "going" under the word "cover" so it's "going under cover".

3. Its the word "hot" written twice, and the word "TV" written four times, so it is "Too (two) hot for (four) TV".

4. + and - are oppsoites. Each time they get closer, so the phrase is "Opposites attract!"

5. Hheoamret is the word "home" mixed in with the word "heart", so the phrase is "home is where the heart is!"

6. In the list of animals whenever it says "Dog" it also says "day", so the phrase is "Every dog has it's day!".
