Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's ice cold in my soul
Like a hundred winters
And will i ever reach home?
'Cause i dont wanna stay here, no
So here i am
Down on my knees, again
Callin' on your name
I need you know (oh oh oh)
I need you now (oh oh oh)
I need you now (oh oh oh)
I need you now (oh)
I need you now

So i call and i call (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Knowing that you will answer
Jesus i know that i'm wrong
But you can make me right again
So here i am
Down on my knees again
Callin' on your name
But i need you now (Oh oh oh)
I need you now (Oh oh oh)
I need you now (Oh oh oh)
I need you know (Oh)
I need you now (Oh oh oh)
I need you now (Oh oh oh)
I need you now (Oh)




I need you now
I need, I need, I need you now

The first two lines, "It's ice cold in my soul, like a hundred winters," describe the depths of the emotional pain that the singer is experiencing.

The singer admits that he is kneeling down, calling out to a higher power, hoping that he could find answers and healing. The lines "Jesus, I know that I'm wrong, but you can make me right again" further emphasize his belief in the power of faith and how it can help him overcome his struggles.


The overall message of the song is about the power of faith and how it can help individuals in their darkest moments. It also speaks of the therapeutic value of reaching out to a higher power and acknowledging the need for help, which is something we can all relate to.
