For Now
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But nothing had changed, nothing was really different
Then love showed its teeth like it was something vicious
No, no, no, let me finish
Ain't it something when it all goes tragic
How a spell can get casted onto something magic
What I wouldn't give to get back to where we had it
Now it's like I lied
When I said I didn't need you
Alright if you'd left I'd never be
Tonight can we just get it right
Somehow, for now
Freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the older familiar thoughts
Can we just freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the feelings we think we lost
For now
Oh, I'm so goddamn mean
'Cause I-I-I say and I do things that I shouldn't sometimes
My mouth gets me in trouble all the time
But now it's like I lied
When I said I didn't need you
I die if you'd left I'd never be alright
Can we just get it right somehow
For now
Freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the older familiar thoughts
Can we just freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the feelings we think we lost
For now, for now
Can we just freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the feelings we think we lost
For now
Remember that time we were just kickin'
But nothing had changed, nothing was really different
Then love showed its teeth like it was something vicious
No, no, no, let me finish
For now
Freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the older familiar thoughts
Can we just freeze, frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the feelings we think we lost
For now, for now
Can we just freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the feelings we think we lost
For now, for now
Can we just rewind, stop
Get back to the feelings we think we lost
For now
The lyrics for P!nk's song "For Now" focus on the theme of lost love and wanting to go back to a time when everything was different. The opening lines describe a time when the singer and their significant other were "just kickin'" and everything was normal. However, as if from nowhere, things went awry, and love became a "vicious" thing that tore them apart. The singer wishes they could go back to the magical time they had before romance got in the way.
The chorus of the song explores the idea that sometimes things can go tragically wrong, and a spell can be cast over something that was once "magic." As a result, the singer feels like they lied when they said they didn't need their significant other. In this moment, they are willing to admit that they can't live without their partner, and the singer begs for them to revisit the love they think they have lost. The repeated lines "freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop, and get back to the feelings we think we lost" show a longing for things to go back to the way they were before.
In the second verse, the singer admits to being "so goddamn mean" and realizing that their mouth gets them into trouble all the time. They reflect on how they wish they could go back to a time when they didn't feel the need to say things to hurt their partner. The ending of the song ends with the singer repeating the phrase "Can we just rewind, stop, get back to the feelings we think we lost, for now," once more emphasizing that the singer wants to go back to how things used to be.
Line by Line Meaning
Remember that time we were just kickin'
Recalling the good old days when everything was simple and easygoing
But nothing had changed, nothing was really different
Those moments were ordinary yet precious
Then love showed its teeth like it was something vicious
Suddenly, love became intense and overwhelming
No, no, no, let me finish
The singer doesn't want to interrupt her own train of thought
Ain't it something when it all goes tragic
Reflecting on how love can turn sour and heartbreaking
How a spell can get casted onto something magic
Love can feel like magic at first, but it can also become a curse
What I wouldn't give to get back to where we had it
Showing regret and longing for the past when things were better
Oh, it should've lasted
The singer believes that the good times should have lasted longer
Now it's like I lied
The singer feels like she didn't tell the truth before
When I said I didn't need you
Acknowledging how much she needs the other person now
Alright if you'd left I'd never be
Realizing how devastated she would be if the other person left her
Tonight can we just get it right
Asking for a chance to fix things between them for the time being
Somehow, for now
Hoping that they can make things work temporarily
Freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
Using a camera metaphor to describe the desire to go back to the past
And get back to the older familiar thoughts
Wanting to revisit the familiar and comfortable thoughts they used to have
Can we just freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
Reiterating the desire to revisit the past
And get back to the feelings we think we lost
Feeling like their emotions have been lost or forgotten over time
Oh, I'm so goddamn mean
Acknowledging her flaws and how they contribute to conflicts between them
'Cause I-I-I say and I do things that I shouldn't sometimes
Explaining how her words and actions can be hurtful towards the other person
My mouth gets me in trouble all the time
Realizing how her speech can harm their relationship
Can we just get it right somehow
Asking for a chance to fix things between them
For now
Emphasizing that their efforts to fix things are temporary
Can we just rewind, stop
Using a simplified version of the camera metaphor to express their desire to revisit the past
Get back to the feelings we think we lost
Desiring to rediscover the positive emotions they used to have for each other
