Say It Now
Derek Hough Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cause she was too scared to break it
the only chance she knew
was the one never taken
hours go slowly
the days go fast
this momentβs the only
the only thing we have
the silence will steal all the words we donβt say
and loveβs only real if you give it away
and we all know that timeβs running out
so say it now
he had the sun and stars
but he took them for granted
he always held her heart
but never knew that he had it
the silence will steal all the words we donβt say
and loveβs only real if you give it away
and we all know that timeβs running out
so say it now
cause all that we got is the breath in our lungs
the blood in our veins and the words on our tongue
so donβt bury your heart in the ground
just say it now
know there will come a day
when this moment is faded
that day will be too late
so nowβs the time to say it
the silence will steal all the words we donβt say
and loveβs only real if you give it away
and we all know that timeβs running out
so say it now
cause all that we got is the breath in our lungs
the blood in our veins and the words on our tongue
so donβt bury your heart in the ground
just say it now
The lyrics of Derek Hough's song "Say It Now" touch on the theme of taking the opportunities that life presents us with, especially in the area of love. In the first verse, the singer describes a woman who is too scared to take a risk and potentially disrupt the status quo. The second verse tells the story of a man who has everything and is loved by someone, but he fails to recognize the gift that he has.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of saying what is on your mind and expressing your love while you still have time. The silence that often comes between people who cannot find the courage to speak up and be vulnerable can steal the words that could be life-changing. Love is only real and tangible when you act on it and express it fearlessly. The sense of urgency is palpable in the lyrics, as the writer directs people to seize the day and vocalize their feelings before it's too late.
Overall, "Say It Now" is a reminder of the fragility of life and the necessity of taking chances and communicating truthfully with the people who matter.

I'm in love with Derek's music!!! It's so amazing and inspiring, hold on was my dance solo song last season.
@martinsentm
Your songs...I can't explain how they move me. I think this song will end up on my 'don't do it' playlist. Your song "Hold On" is also featured heavily on that playlist. So, thank you. Because I'm still here...I'm still fighting.
