Now Or Never
Hayes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's now or never
Sometimes I hate myself for loving you
And sometimes it feels like you might hate me too
Just when we think it's time to break a move
We keep coming back, keep coming back to where we started
And sometimes I swear it's like you want me to
I wanna jump at your but you're my parachute
We keep coming back, keep coming back to where we started
You know me better than anyone ever
That's why I keep holding on to forever
We gotta jump in, let's do it together
'Cause if I know you, if I know me
It's now or never
We can stay, we can stay up in the air
We can stay up in the air
We can stay, we can stay up in the air
we can stay up in the air
We gotta jump in, let's do it together
'Cause if I know you, if I know me
It's now or never
It's gonna sting, it's gonna hurt a lot
Nothing you do is gonna make it stop
I wish I could borrow someone else's heart
So I don't know the pain, don't feel the ache, don't feel the breaking
You know me better than anyone ever
That's why I keep holding on to forever
We gotta jump in, let's do it together
'Cause if I know you, if I know me
It's now or never
We can stay, we can stay up in the air
We can stay up in the air
We can stay, we can stay up in the air
we can stay up in the air
We gotta jump in, let's do it together
'Cause if I know you, if I know me
It's now or never
Sometimes I hate myself for loving you
And sometimes it feels like you might hate me too
Just when we think it's time to break a move
We keep coming back, keep coming back to where we started
You know me better than anyone ever
That's why I keep holding on to forever
We gotta jump in, let's do it together
'Cause if I know you, if I know me
It's now or never
We can stay, we can stay up in the air
We can stay up in the air
We can stay, we can stay up in the air
we can stay up in the air
We gotta jump in, let's do it together
'Cause if I know you, if I know me
It's now or never
('Cause if I know you, if I know me
It's now or never)

'Cause if I know you, if I know me
Because if I truly understand you and understand myself
It's now or never
This is the decisive moment, there is no more time to waste
Sometimes I hate myself for loving you
Occasionally, I despise myself for feeling so strongly about you
And sometimes it feels like you might hate me too
And at times, I get the impression that you may also have negative feelings towards me
Just when we think it's time to break a move
Just when we believe it's the moment to move forward or let go
We keep coming back, keep coming back to where we started
We continuously find ourselves returning to the beginning, unable to move on
Sometimes I wish I could use cut you loose
Sometimes, I desire to set you free and detach from you completely
And sometimes I swear it's like you want me to
And there are occasions when I'm convinced that you actually desire me to stay
I wanna jump at your but you're my parachute
I have the impulse to take a leap with you, yet you're the one who safeguards me
You know me better than anyone ever
You possess a deeper understanding of me than anyone else ever could
That's why I keep holding on to forever
That's why I continue to cling onto the idea of everlasting love
We gotta jump in, let's do it together
We must take the leap together, let's embrace this together
We can stay, we can stay up in the air
We have the option to remain suspended in uncertainty
we can stay up in the air
we can continue to exist in this state of indecision
It's gonna sting, it's gonna hurt a lot
It's going to be painful, it's going to cause a great deal of suffering
Nothing you do is gonna make it stop
No matter what you do, the pain won't cease
I wish I could borrow someone else's heart
I yearn to borrow another person's heart, to escape the agony and heartbreak
So I don't know the pain, don't feel the ache, don't feel the breaking
So I can avoid experiencing the pain, the ache, and the emotional shattering

Sometimes I hate myself for loving you
Sometimes I feels like you might help me to
Just when we think it’s time to brake the move
We keep coming back, keep coming back to where we started
We keep coming back, keep coming back to where we started
Sometimes I wish I could use cut you lose
Sometimes I swear is like you want me to
I wanna jump at your [?]
We keep coming back, keep coming back to where we started
You know me better than anyone ever
That’s why I keep holding onto forever
We got to jump it, let’s do it together
‘Cause if I know you, if I know me, it’s now or never
We can stay, we can stay up in the air
we can stay up in the air
We can stay, we can stay up in the air
we can stay up in the air
We got to jump it, let’s do it together
‘Cause if I know you, if I know me, it’s now or never
Is gonna sting, is gonna hurt a lot
Nothing you do is gonna make you star
I wish I could borrow someone else’s high
So I don’t know the pain, don’t feel the ace, don’t feel the breaking
You know me better than anyone ever
That’s why I keep holding onto forever
We got to jump it, let’s do it together
‘Cause if I know you, if I know me, it’s now or never
We can stay, we can stay up in the air
we can stay up in the air
We can stay, we can stay up in the air
we can stay up in the air
We got to jump it, let’s do it together
‘Cause if I know you, if I know me, it’s now or never
Sometimes I hate myself for loving you
Sometimes I feels like you might help me to
Just when we think it’s time to brake the move
We keep coming back, keep coming back to where we started
You know me better than anyone ever
That’s why I keep holding onto forever
We got to jump it, let’s do it together
‘Cause if I know you, if I know me, it’s now or never
We can stay, we can stay up in the air
we can stay up in the air
We can stay, we can stay up in the air
we can stay up in the air
We got to jump it, let’s do it together
‘Cause if I know you, if I know me, it’s now or never
