Where Are You Now
Wolf Gang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, you have got a hold on me again
And everywhere I turned I saw your face
You made my world a pretty place back then
So where are you now, where are you now?
So where are you now, where are you now?
So where are you now, where are you now?
And in the day and in the night
Nothing could equal your sight to me
And I don't know why we didn't stay
And leave like it was supposed to be
Oh, now every time that I stand still
Silences of rolling hills go by
And in them I can see your face
But I will never know that place will I?
So where are you now, where are you now?
So where are you now, where are you now?
So where are you now, where are you now?
So where are you now, where are you now?
Hey girl you got a hook on me
I tried to find you but I could not see
And if you ever want to come back to me, oh oh oh
You're a strange girl, you got a hook on me
The morning comes don't take away this dream
But if you ever want to come back to me, oh oh
So where are you now, where are you now?
So where are you now, where are you now?
So where are you now, where are you now?
So where are you now, where are you now?
Where are you, where are you?
Where are you, where are you?
So where are you now, where are you now?
Where are you?
So where are you now, where are you now?
Where are you?
So where are you now, where are you now?
Where are you?
So where are you now, where are you now?
Where are you?
The lyrics to Wolf Gang's "Where Are You Now" are about a lost love and the lingering feelings that come with it. The singer tries to move on but cannot escape the hold that his former partner has on him. Every time he stands still, he sees her face in the silence of rolling hills. He questions where she is now and hopes she may come back to him if she ever wants to.
The lines "And I don't know why we didn't stay, and leave like it was supposed to be" suggest that their separation was not planned or natural. Perhaps circumstances or other people caused their relationship to end, rather than a lack of love or compatibility. The singer also describes how his former partner made his world a pretty place, indicating that their time together was happy and peaceful.
The chorus repeats the question "Where are you now?" multiple times, emphasizing the singer's longing for his lost love. The verses describe how his memories of her pervade his thoughts and how he cannot shake the feeling that they were meant to be together. The song's overall tone is wistful and nostalgic, evoking the sadness and hope that come with a lost love.

I tried to move I could not see
I attempted to move on, but my vision became clouded by thoughts of you
Yeah, you have got a hold on me again
You still have a firm grip on my heart and mind
And everywhere I turned I saw your face
I was reminded of you no matter where I looked
You made my world a pretty place back then
When we were together, you brought beauty and happiness into my life
So where are you now, where are you now?
I'm questioning where you are and why we're no longer together
And in the day and in the night
Whether it was day or night
Nothing could equal your sight to me
Nothing compared to the joy of seeing you
And I don't know why we didn't stay
I'm unsure why we didn't maintain our relationship
And leave like it was supposed to be
Leave the situation in the way that it was meant to be
Oh, now every time that I stand still
Whenever I am still and silent
Silences of rolling hills go by
The peacefulness of nature passes through me
And in them I can see your face
I find your presence in the quiet of nature
But I will never know that place will I?
I'm unable to return to that state of peacefulness
Hey girl you got a hook on me
You have a powerful hold on me
I tried to find you but I could not see
I attempted to locate you, but without success
And if you ever want to come back to me, oh oh oh
If you ever wish to return to our past relationship
You're a strange girl, you got a hook on me
You are unique in your hold over me
The morning comes don't take away this dream
I hope that my memories of us are not destroyed by the passage of time
Where are you, where are you?
Where have you gone?
Where are you?
Where are you now?
Where are you?
Where have you gone?
Where are you?
Where are you now?
