Now or Never
Jacko Hooper Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't hold me to close
Cause I ain't all you see
And you are more than this
Biting tongues avoiding what is true
Hurt me before
and I'm holding the thought of you

Don't go to fast it's now or never

Just take my hand now and forever
It's now or never now or never
Just tell me that it's now or never now or never

Don't hold me to close
Cause I ain't all you see
You are more than this
Biting tongues avoiding what is true
Hurt me before
And I'm holding the thought of you

Don't go to fast it's now or never
Just take my hand now and forever
It's now or never now or never
Just tell me that it's now or never now or never

You tell me once you tell me twice
Before you know
I'm sure I never loved you more
Than I did before

Don't go to fast it's now or never
Just take my hand now and forever

It's now or never now or never
Just tell me that it's now or never now or never

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jacko Hooper's song "Now or Never" convey a sense of urgency, as the singer recognizes the fleeting nature of time and the importance of taking action before it's too late. The repeated refrain of "now or never" serves as a reminder to seize the moment, as opportunities may not come again. This can be seen in lines such as "Don't go too fast it's now or never, just take my hand now and forever" which suggest that the singer is urging their partner to commit to a relationship before it's too late.

Additionally, the lyrics touch upon the complexity of relationships and the need for honesty and communication. The line "Biting tongues avoiding what is true" suggests that there are unspoken issues and conflicts that need to be addressed in order for the relationship to progress. The singer acknowledges that they have been hurt before but is willing to take a chance on love again, holding onto the thought of their partner despite their reservations.

Overall, the lyrics of "Now or Never" are a poignant reminder to live in the moment and take risks, as life is short and opportunities should not be missed.

Line by Line Meaning

Don't hold me to close
Please don't cling onto me too tightly

Cause I ain't all you see
I'm not the perfect person that you believe me to be

And you are more than this
You have a lot of potential and deserve someone who sees that

Biting tongues avoiding what is true
We're both afraid to speak our true feelings and opinions

Hurt me before
You've caused me pain in the past

And I'm holding the thought of you
I can't seem to forget about you and move on

Don't go to fast it's now or never
We need to take things slow and make a move now or never

Just take my hand now and forever
Let's commit to each other now and forever

It's now or never now or never
The opportunity for us to be together may not come again

Just tell me that it's now or never now or never
Just make the decision to be with me or not, don't leave me in limbo

You tell me once you tell me twice
I need to hear from you clearly and consistently

Before you know
Time moves quickly and we may miss our chance

I'm sure I never loved you more
My feelings for you have grown and deepened over time

Than I did before
Even though you've hurt me in the past, I still have strong feelings for you

Is it "Don't hold me to close" or "too close"? I thought it's the latter one, but all the lyrics from the website shows the former one
