Need You Now
Lea Michele & Mark Salling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reachin' for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
Another shot of whiskey can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
Whoa whoa
Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothin' at all
It's a quarter after one I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call
But I'm a little drunk
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now
Ooh, baby, I need you now
The lyrics of Lea Michele and Mark Salling's song "Need You Now" describe a person who is heartbroken and nostalgic, thinking about the past with the one they once loved. The person is in a state of emotional weakness, browsing through "picture-perfect memories scattered all around the floor," and reaching for the phone to call their former partner. Despite the person's efforts to move on, they can't help but think about their former partner, and they wonder if their former loved one thinks about them as well.
The song's title, "Need You Now," is repeated several times throughout the song's chorus, emphasizing the desperation the person feels for their former partner in their current state of loneliness. They are struggling to cope with the idea of being alone, and they confess that they cannot exist without the one they love.
In the second verse, the person turns to whiskey, taking shots to numb the pain of being alone. They wish their former partner would come back to them, the way they used to do before. The bridge emphasizes the person's willingness to feel pain rather than feeling emptiness, further emphasizing their desperation and longing for their former lover.

Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Remnants of our idealized past lay disordered and neglected on the ground
Reachin' for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
The urge to contact you is overpowering and I am succumbing to it
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
I ponder if I ever enter your thoughts
For me it happens all the time
For me, the thought of you is a perpetual presence
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
It is half past midnight and I am in complete solitude, my yearning for you is intense
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
I promised myself I wouldn't contact you, but I am unable to inhibit my craving for you
And I don't know how I can do without
I am clueless as to how I will survive without you
I just need you now
All I require is your presence and companionship
Another shot of whiskey can't stop looking at the door
Even with the numbing effects of alcohol, I am fixated on the entrance, longing for you to enter
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
I dream of you suddenly arriving in the same dramatic fashion as you once did
Whoa whoa
Expressing an exclamation of emotion without words
Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothin' at all
I would rather feel the pain of longing than feel absolutely nothing
Ooh, baby, I need you now
Oh, darling, I require your presence desperately

Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone cause
I can't fight it anymore.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.
It's a quarter after one.
I'm all alone and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control
And I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now.
Another shot of whiskey
Can't stop looking at the door.
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.
It's a quarter after one.
I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control
And I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now.
Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
It's a quarter after one.
I'm all alone and I need you now.
And I said I wouldn't call
But I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now.
I just need you now.
Oh baby I need you now.

the chemistry between puck and rachel is really unbelievable. the way his eyes never left her sight during the whole performance. i wish that they would’ve given puckleberry another chance rather than making her go back to finn all the damn time
