Need You Now
Peppercorn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lights out
All the colors in my head now
All the things I wanna say now
Is there anything at all

Wake up
Wanna tell you that the sun's up
Wanna tell you that my heart sunk
Is there anything at all

I, oh I, I I need you now
I, oh I, I I need you now
I need you no-o-ow, no-o-ow, no-o-ow
I I need you now

Take time
I feel that the world's fun
All the things I wanna say now
Is there anything at all

Daydream
All the words in my head now
All the things I wanna say now
Is there anything at all

I, oh I, I I need you now
I, oh I, I I need you now
I need you nooow, nooow, nooow
I I need you now

I, oh I, I I need you now
I, oh I, I I need you now
I need you nooow, nooow, nooow
I I need you now
I I need you now
I I need you now





I need you now
