Need You Now
Yearning Moments: Craving Connection in the Midnight Hour
Lyrics
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reflecting on idealized memories scattered around.
Reaching for the phone cause I can't fight it anymore
Feeling compelled to call someone due to inner struggles.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
Contemplating whether the person occupies thoughts.
For me it happens all the time
Expressing the frequency of thinking about the person.
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Describing a late hour, intense loneliness, and a strong desire for the person.
I said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
Admitting to breaking a promise not to call, succumbing to the need for connection.
Still I don't know how to do without, well I just need you now
Expressing difficulty in coping without the person.
Another shot of whiskey can't stop staring at the door
Turning to alcohol as a coping mechanism while waiting for the person.
And I'm hoping you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
Hoping for a familiar and comforting return of the person.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
Reflecting on the persistent thought of the person crossing the mind.
For me it happens all the time
Highlighting the recurring nature of thoughts about the person.
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Emphasizing the late hour, intoxication, and intensified need for the person.
I said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
Acknowledging the loss of control in resisting the urge to call.
Still I don't know how I can do without, well I just need you now
Expressing the inability to cope without the person.
Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all
Choosing emotional pain over numbness, indicating the value of feeling.
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Reiterating the intense need for the person in a vulnerable state.
I said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
Admitting to the difficulty of keeping the promise not to call.
And darling I don't know how to do without, well I just need you now
Expressing dependence on the person and the challenge of being without them.
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Reiterating the late hour, loneliness, and strong desire for the person.
I said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
Acknowledging the difficulty in resisting the urge to call despite promises.
Still I don't know how to do without, well I just need you now
Reiterating the struggle to cope without the person.
Ohh baby I need you now
Expressing a heartfelt plea for the person's presence.
Darling I don't know how to do without, well I just need you now
Reiterating the challenge of being without the person and the strong need for them.
