With the space, it will have a different meaning. "The picture will hang over the fireplace."
Without the space, it is as @mkielar32 responded previously
"I had too much to drink last night and I have a terrible hangover."

Perhaps you can provide a little more context?
There is another figurative meaning in which "hang over" occurs, namely, when something serves as a burden for a person. For example,
- His stress was due to the debts hanging over his head.
- The deaths of thousands hang over my head as I think about my next order.
Is this closer to the meaning you're referring to?
