Lyrics
You can search the world for signs of life
You can explore the world in search of meaning or purpose.
And realize the truth is in your heart, is in your heart
The truth is within your heart, emphasizing self-discovery.
You can try to become who you want
Attempting to be someone else may not detach you from your true self.
And never get away from who you are, is who you are
Your core identity remains constant, acknowledging self-acceptance.
You can trust another like no other
Trusting someone deeply can lead to vulnerability and heartbreak.
Watch them fall and then you fall apart, it there's you apart
Witnessing someone's downfall can also affect and break you.
Always seen myself alone
Despite a self-perception of solitude, companionship is found in challenging times.
But in my darkest hours is there you are, it's where's my guitar
In moments of despair, the guitar symbolizes solace or a coping mechanism.
So I can say
Expressing the need to communicate a message or realization.
Oh now, oh now, oh now, now now now now
Repetition emphasizing the urgency to "slow down" and appreciate the present.
Oh now, oh now, oh now, now now now
-Oh now you gotta slow down
-Oh now all I have is now
-Oh now, oh now, oh now
-I've been all around the world to find it
The narrator has traveled extensively in pursuit of something significant.
Travel east and west like everyday, everyday
Everyday routines may lead to a repetitive and unfulfilling life.
I've been high and low since I have lost it
Experiencing highs and lows in life without a clear path to the past.
How do I get back to yesterday, it feels like a game
Nostalgia for the past, expressed as a desire to return to "yesterday."
I have seen the look in people's eyes sometimes
Observing a sense of rejection or avoidance in people's eyes.
All I do is chase them away, chase them away
The narrator unintentionally pushes people away, possibly due to their pursuit.
Cause I have been all around the world
Reiterating the extensive search for meaning around the world.
To find it every time I do I don't let it stay, I chase it away
Despite finding meaning, it is not retained but continually chased away.
So now I say
Repetition of the urgent message to "slow down."
Oh now, oh now, oh now, now now now now
Reiteration of the importance of slowing down and embracing the present moment.
Oh now, oh now, oh now, now now now
-Oh now you gotta slow down
-Oh now all I have is now
-Oh now, oh now, oh now
