Jim Adams, aka Newepicauthor, the creator of A Unique Title For Me, is hosting SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY and this week he has chosen the theme: BRAIN/MIND/THINK
I am going to admit, I do not know this band very well. But I love this song! I loved if from the first time I heard it. Jack told me they are now called Lady A – which is amusing because one of my friends blogs by that same name – and this terrific song is called “Need You Now”.
I love the lyrics, I am sure I listened to it during some of the hard time when Jack and I were estranged – they were so very hard – and just loved it! Oh sleepless nights when I was both comforted and tortured by the line. “It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now“. Such a brilliant track! This is actually the first time I have ever watched the video. I used to hear it on the radio in years past.
Picture perfect memories 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’ve lost all control and I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now
Another shot of whiskey, can’t stop looking at the door
Wishing you’d come sweeping 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’ve lost all control and I need you now
And I don’t know how I can do without
I just need you now
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
