Do it now
Danny Tenaglia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't care anymore
Emptiness abounds
and love surrounds
the hole besides your heart
You're feeling so sad,
And it's never been this bad..before
But I'm gonna change your mind
I'll only say that if you stay
Love is what you'll find
But you're gone, 'cause love takes so long
You say you're empty
Don't feel anymore
Loneliness abounds
And the music pounds around and around and around
You're moving way too fast
Like nothing ever lasts
Just keep on, pushing
Could be anything you want
Could do anything you feel
Love is all around you
But you don't believe it's real
Just be fearless
Baby be fearless
Do it now
Do it now
Do it now
Do it now
All my life
I sit and wonder
Why you put yourself down
What's so bad, what's so bad, what's so bad, what's so bad
About what we have now?
Raise your hands, in the twilight
Raise your hands, to the sky
And say I love you
No fear anymore
Happiness is found
Let love come down
and shine inside your heart
You're beautiful inside
I'm in love with your mind and your heart and your soul and your eyes
Could be anything you want
Could do anything you feel
Love is all around you
But you don't believe it's real
Open up your mind
Listen to your heart
Leave loneliness behind
Come on, come on, come on
Do it now
Do it now
Do it now
Do it now
