Be Here Now
J and B Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With your fingers on the lime
And when you walk that way it kills me
I'll be here at closing time
Is that a ring there on your finger
Or just a thin and fading line
You could walk away from me but don't do it
I'll be outside with the engine running
Carrying a coat and tie
Looking for a place to take you
I can almost hear you sigh
I'll be outside with the engine running
Pointing at the western sky
Looking for a place to lay you down
But I don't want to make you cry
I can see us walking in the future
With a child of yours and mine
I can feel the sunshine on our shoulders
Til it's closing time
Baby when you walk that way it kills me
I'll be here at closing time
I'll be here at closing time

Oh I like the way you bring the water
I am attracted to the way you pour the water with your fingers running smoothly on the lime
With your fingers on the lime

And when you walk that way it kills me
The way you walk is so amazing and enchanting, it leaves me utterly mesmerized
I'll be here at closing time
I'll be here with you until the end of the night, till the bar closing time
Is that a ring there on your finger
I can't tell if you are already taken, do you have a ring on that finger?
Or just a thin and fading line
Could it be an old, fading scar instead of a wedding ring?
You could walk away from me but don't do it
It is entirely possible that you can leave me, but I hope you don't

I can feel that you'd like the idea of being with me right now, it's almost like I can hear you sighing
Pointing at the western sky
I'm looking towards the western horizon, where the sun is setting, as a symbol of the end of the night
Looking for a place to lay you down
I want to find a romantic spot for us to be together, to lay you down and show you how I feel
But I don't want to make you cry
I don't want to hurt you or make you sad in any way

I can envision us being together in the long term, as a loving couple with a family
With a child of yours and mine
I can imagine us as parents, with a child of our own, bringing joy to our lives
I can feel the sunshine on our shoulders
I can feel happiness and warmth in the relationship, the sunshine representing the good times
Til it's closing time
Until the night ends and the bar closes
Baby when you walk that way it kills me
Your beautiful, striking way of walking leaves me speechless and totally smitten, I am entranced by you
I'll be here at closing time
I'll be here to stay until the end of the night, no matter what
