Now or Never
Steve Means Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You take a chance, you leave behind
All that you have known.
Follow your dreams into the dark,
The places you never thought you'd go.
You wonder when, well until then,
All the pieces they will come together.
It's now or never.
So break into the light
And the colours deep inside
Will push away the doubts you find.
But maybe it's that time
For you to realize that
Well it might be hard sometimes,
But you'll be alright

Day by day things might change,
But don't let it get to you.
Cause that's just what they want you to do
Give up, give in, get out,
Lose yourself and all you're worth.
But i know that's not how your momma raised her little girl.

So break into the light
And the colours deep inside
Will push away the doubts you find.
But maybe it's that time
For you to realize that
Well it might be hard sometimes,
You never knew which way to go,
Never kept truths on the road,
So keep on following what's in your heart
Time to start

Break into the light
And the colours deep inside
Will push away the doubts you find.
But maybe it's that time
For you to realize that
So break into the light
And the colours deep inside
Will push away the doubts you find.
But maybe it's that time
For you to realize that
Well it might be hard sometimes,
But you'll be alright




I said might be hard sometimes,
But you'll be alright.
