Need You Now
Boyce Avenue feat. Savannah Outen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scattered all around the floor.
Reaching for the phone 'cause
I can't fight it any more.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time.
It's a quarter after one,
Said I wouldn't call
But I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without,
I just need you now.
Another shot of whisky,
Can't stop looking at the door.
Wishing you'd come sweeping
In the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.
It's a quarter after one,
I'm a little drunk, and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call
But I lost all control and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without,
I just need you now.
Yes, I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
It's a quarter after one,
I'm all alone and I need you now.
And I said I wouldn't call
But I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without,
I just need you now,
I just need you now.
Oh, baby I need you now.
The lyrics of this song by Boyce Avenue featuring Savannah Outen speak of the feeling of loneliness and longing for someone who used to be in a relationship, but is no longer there. The first verse describes a floor filled with pictures and memories, which remind the singer of the person he or she misses. The singer admits to reaching for the phone, unable to suppress the desire to contact this person. This is followed by a question that the singer wonders about all the time - whether this person ever thinks about him or her.
The chorus repeats the urgency of the singer's need for this person. The time is a quarter past one at night, and the singer is all alone, feeling so empty that he or she needs the person they're missing "now." The lines "Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control," suggest that the singer knows that the person may not want to hear from him or her anymore, but they can't help the compulsion to try and connect with them. Another shot of whiskey only exacerbates the feelings of loneliness and brings the realization that nothing else can fill the void except the person they're missing. The final lines express the depth of the singer's emotions and reveal how much "I just need you now."

Picture perfect memories,
I see scattered remnants of our past relationship all around me, reminding me of the good times we had.
Scattered all around the floor.
The memories are literally scattered and disorganized on the floor.
Reaching for the phone 'cause
My desperation to talk to you is so strong that I'm grabbing for the phone without even thinking about it.
I can't fight it any more.
I've been trying to suppress my feelings, but they are too strong for me to resist any longer.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
I'm constantly thinking of you and I'm curious if you ever think of me too.
For me it happens all the time.
It's a frequent occurrence for me to think of you, unlike for you, maybe.
It's a quarter after one,
The time, which is a little past midnight, is mentioned to emphasize that it's late at night and I should be sleeping.
I'm all alone and I need you now.
I'm lonely and I desperately want you to be here with me right now.
Said I wouldn't call
I promised myself that I wouldn't try to contact you, but I'm finding it too difficult.
But I lost all control and I need you now.
I couldn't resist any longer and I caved in to my feelings of needing you.
And I don't know how I can do without,
I'm struggling to cope without you and I don't know how to move on.
I just need you now.
I'm aware that I sound needy, but I can't help the way I feel.
Another shot of whisky,
I'm trying to drink my sorrows away and forget about how much I miss you.
Can't stop looking at the door.
I'm constantly glancing at the door, hoping that you'll walk in and make everything better.
Wishing you'd come sweeping
I'm daydreaming about you coming to my rescue and whisking me away from my loneliness like in the past.
In the way you did before.
I'm reminiscing about how you used to sweep me off my feet and make me feel loved and appreciated.
Yes, I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
Even though thinking about you is painful, it's better than feeling nothing at all because you meant everything to me.
Oh, baby I need you now.
This line is a repetition of the chorus and serves as a reminder of how much I need you.

Picture, perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor

Oh ohh
Yes, I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all
It's a quarter after one
I'm all alone and I need you now

But I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now
Oh, baby, I need you now

Her voice is just unique, she's had several singles out so she hasn't got a bad voice, it's just not to everyone's taste.
El Jefe
It just doesn’t go with this song. I agree great voice but as I stated this isn’t her style
