Not Now
Ally Hills Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No we don't talk
You cut me off
To put into it how much it hurts I'd be at a loss
But what if we restarted, like
Like we weren't brokenhearted

Can't help it don't know what to do
'Cause it isn't a minute that I'm not thinking of you
But I want to go back
So you don't have to leave it like that

Baby we could fall in love again
I know it ended but sometimes I
Just pretend that I would see you around
We'll fall in love again
I don't care when
But I want you forever even if it's not now

(Want you forever)

(Want you forever even if it's not now)

No we don't speak
Watchin' you leave
I know that we'll become strangers again eventually
But what if we restarted, like
Like we weren't brokenhearted

'Cause I still stay up in case you call me
One day just let me say I'm sorry
'Cause if it's not you then it's nobody
And I can't recover, I don't want another

Baby we could fall in love again
I know it ended but sometimes I
Just pretend that I would see you around
And we'll fall in love again
I don't care when
But I want you forever even if it's not now

(Want you forever)

(Want you forever even if it's not now)

Baby we could fall in love again
I know it ended but sometimes I
Just pretend that I would see you around
And we'll fall in love again
I don't care when
But I want you forever even if it's not now

(Want you forever)

(I want you forever even if it's not now)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ally Hills's song "Not Now" express the singer's hope for rekindling a lost love. Despite having been cut off by the person she loves, the singer can't stop thinking about them and the possibility of a second chance. The first verse speaks of the pain of being shut out and not being able to articulate the depth of the hurt. While the second verse talks about accepting the reality that the two will eventually become strangers again, the chorus boldly proclaims the desire to stay in love, even if just in make-believe for now.


The lyrics express the vulnerability and sincerity of someone who genuinely loves another person and is willing to give it another try, even if it's not the right time. The chorus, especially, is a testament to the power of love and its hold on the human heart. The song is an example of the kind of message that resonates with anyone who has experienced the sorrow of a broken relationship and the hope of a second chance.
