Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Another shot of whiskey, can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweepin' 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 oh whoa
Guess 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 ooh ooh
"Need You Now" by Lady Antebellum is a country-pop ballad that explores the emotions of longing and loneliness. The lyrics describe a person who is looking back at their cherished memories that are now scattered all over the floor. They cannot resist the urge to call their former lover since they can't ignore the feeling of missing them. The singer is curious if they ever cross their former lover's mind like they do for them, as they find themselves thinking about them continuously. The chorus reveals the singer's inner turmoil - it's almost 1:15 AM, they are alone and needy, and they can't help but pick up the phone and call their former lover. They keep getting distracted by the door, hoping they will come back, as they are not sure if they can go on without them. They admit that they're a little drunk and that they didn't plan on making the call, but they just "need you now."
The bridge highlights the reason behind the singer's decision to call. They say that they'd rather feel the pain of missing their former lover than feeling nothing at all. The song ends with multiple repetitions of "I just need you now," depicting their desperation and the emptiness they feel without their partner.
In summary, the song encapsulates the feeling of loneliness and heartbreak that comes after a relationship ends. It portrays the emotions that a person goes through when they realize that they need their loved one back, no matter how much they try to resist the urge to reach out to them.

My wife adored this song and used to sing it to me all the time. She passed away 9-5-18 while I held her hand and told her that I loved her. Every time I hear this song, I hear my angel singing it to me. I’ll always love you baby!
