Now Or Never
Natural Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I recall
Back when we were eight years old
We'd close our eyes
Dream about the places we'd go
You and me
Built castles in the sand
We were the King and Queen
And we had the perfect plan
I woke up last night
Couldn't get it out of my mind
The things we dreamt
Just about a thousand times
We gotta' live our lives
And fate will take us there
We gotta' head out on the highway
With no fear

[Chorus:]
It's now or never
We can make it on our own
All I see is you and me
We can take our dreams and go

And I remember
All the things that helped us grow
I just know that this is now or never
It's the perfect time to go
So we turn
And head out on the open road
We left everything
That we used to call our home
We want the perfect world
And we'll find it out there
Cause the sun is always shining
Somewhere

[Chorus]

So leave the past
And don't look back
We'll never be the same
And for all time
With your hand in mine
We'll make it through the rain





[Chorus]

I remember


Back when we were eight years old
When we were just kids


We'd close our eyes
We would imagine


Dream about the places we'd go
Think about the places we want to visit


You and me
Me and you


Built castles in the sand
Constructed sand castles


We were the King and Queen
We pretended to be royalty


And we had the perfect plan
We had ideas and were confident


I woke up last night
I suddenly awoke during the night


Couldn't get it out of my mind
Could not stop thinking about it


The things we dreamt
Our imaginations


Just about a thousand times
Countless times


We gotta' live our lives
We must live for ourselves


And fate will take us there
Our destiny will guide us


We gotta' head out on the highway
We need to begin our journey


With no fear
Without being afraid


It's now or never
The time is now or never


We can make it on our own
We can achieve success alone


All I see is you and me
All I care about is you and me


We can take our dreams and go
We can pursue our aspirations


And I remember
And I recall


All the things that helped us grow
All the things that contributed to our growth


I just know that this is now or never
I am certain that now is the opportune moment


It's the perfect time to go
It is the ideal moment to depart


So we turn
Therefore we change direction


And head out on the open road
And journey forth onto the highway


We left everything
We abandoned everything


That we used to call our home
Which we regarded as our home


We want the perfect world
We aspire to a flawless world


And we'll find it out there
It exists out there for us to discover


Cause the sun is always shining
Because the sun shines nonstop


Somewhere
In a certain location


So leave the past
Therefore, forget the past


And don't look back
Keep moving forward


We'll never be the same
We will change forever


And for all time
For an indefinite duration


With your hand in mine
While holding hands


We'll make it through the rain
We will emerge triumphantly from difficult times

Brings back the memories. I've forgotten about this group. They have wonderful songs. Thanks so much.

I've been binge-listening to the songs boy bands from the late 90s to 2000s. The song of Natural and many of the pop groups from this time are great stress relievers.
