Need You Now
Bethany Mota Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're shattered pieces on the ground
I wanna find what we had before
The walls came crashing down
Picking up, moving on, waking up alone
Second guess, every second looking at my phone
Thinking back, what we had, where did we go wrong?
I need you right now
I can't wait for your love, ohh
Lost beyond the circle of our hearts, I know
I need you right now
I can't wait for your love, ohh
A million miles separate our hearts, I know
But I need you right now oh oh oh
But I need you right now oh oh oh
Like a thief you robbed me in the dark
But I thought I locked all the doors
You told me we didn't have that spark
Then you burned me to the core
Picking up, moving on, waking up alone
Second guess, every second looking at my phone
Thinking back, what we had, where did we go wrong?
And now you've got me screaming out
I need you right now
I can't wait for your love, ohh
Lost beyond the circle of our hearts, I know
I need you right now
I can't wait for your love, ohh
A million miles separate our hearts, I know
Never know what you had
What you lost in the end
Never know what you had
Now it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
Never know what you had
What you lost in the end
Never know what you had
Till it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
But I need you right now
I need you right now oh oh oh
I need you right now oh oh oh
Never know what you had
What you lost in the end (But I need you right now)
Never know what you had (oh oh oh)
Till it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
Never know what you had
What you lost in the end
Never know (Never know) what you had
Till it's gone, it's gone, it's gone oh oh gone
Bethany Mota’s “Need You Right Now” is a pop tune that is about the feelings of heartbreak, longing, and missing someone the singer once had. It is a song that speaks to the experience that many can relate to - the pain of losing someone you once loved or cared for deeply.
The song starts with the line “Like an earthquake brought us to the floor, we’re shattered pieces on the ground,” which implies that something big happened that caused everything to fall apart. The earthquake symbolizes a devastating event that has rocked the foundation of the relationship. The chorus, where the singer repeatedly declares that she needs her lover, reflects the feeling of desperation experienced when someone has lost almost everything they once held dear.
The second verse takes on a slightly different tone. It starts with “Like a thief, you robbed me in the dark, but I thought I locked all the doors,” indicating that the singer was not aware that anything was wrong or that her partner was going to leave her. The hurt and confusion in the lyrics as the singer tries to move on while dealing with the pain of heartbreak is evident: “Thinking back, what we had, where did we go wrong? And now you’ve got me screaming out.” Ultimately, this is a song about the regret of not realizing how much something meant until it is gone.

Like an earthquake brought us to the floor
Our relationship was hit hard and we fell apart
We're shattered pieces on the ground
We're broken and lost without each other
I wanna find what we had before
I want to restore what we had together
The walls came crashing down
Our love couldn't hold up against some external forces
Picking up, moving on, waking up alone
Trying to move on without you but it's not easy
Second guess, every second looking at my phone
Wondering if you'll reach out or if I should try to contact you
Thinking back, what we had, where did we go wrong?
Reflecting on our relationship and trying to understand why it ended
And now you've got me screaming out
I can't keep it inside anymore, I need you to know how I feel
I need you right now
I can't handle being apart from you any longer
I can't wait for your love, ohh
I need your love and affection right away
Lost beyond the circle of our hearts, I know
We're separated even though we have a deep connection
A million miles separate our hearts, I know
We feel so far apart even though we're physically close
But I need you right now oh oh oh
I'm desperate for you to be with me
Like a thief you robbed me in the dark
You blindsided me and took away all that we had
But I thought I locked all the doors
I thought our love was secure and safe from harm
You told me we didn't have that spark
You said our love wasn't strong enough to keep going
Then you burned me to the core
You hurt me deeply and left me scarred
Never know what you had
I didn't realize how important you were to me
What you lost in the end
Until it was too late and we couldn't be together anymore
Till it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
We can't get back what we lost, it's gone forever
I need you right now
I'm still in love with you and can't imagine life without you
Never know (Never know) what you had
We took our love for granted and didn't appreciate it enough
Till it's gone, it's gone, it's gone oh oh gone
Now that it's over, I realize how much I need you and how much I've lost
