‘Love Me Now’ is all about living and loving to the fulles...
[Verse 1]
Pullin' me further, further than I've been before
Makin' me stronger, shakin' me right to the core
Oh, I don't know what's in the stars
Never heard it from above, the world isn't ours
But I know what's in my heart
If you ain't mine, I'll be torn apart
[Chorus]
I don't know who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone
So I'm gonna love you now like it's all I have
I know it'll kill me when it's over
I don't wanna think about it, I want you to love me now
I don't know who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone
So I'm gonna love you now like it's all I have
I know it'll kill me when it's over
I don't wanna think about it, I want you to love me now
[Post-Chorus]
(Love me now, love me now)
Oh, oh, love me now, oh, oh, oh, yeah
(Love me now, love me now)
I want you to love me now
[Verse 2]
Somethin' inside us knows there's nothing guaranteed
Yeah, girl, I don't need you to tell me that you'll never leave, no
When we've done all that we could to turn darkness into light, turn evil to good
Even when we try so hard for that perfect kind of love, it could all fall apart
[Chorus]
And who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone?
Oh, I'm gonna love you now like it's all I have
And I know it'll kill me when it's over
I don't wanna think about it, I want you to love me now
[Post-Chorus]
(Love me now, love me now)
Oh, love me now, oh, oh, oh
(Love me now, love me now)
Love me now, love me now
[Bridge]
Oh I don't know how the years will go down, it's alright
Let's make the most of every moment tonight
[Chorus]
I don't know who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone
So I'm gonna love you now like it's all I have
I know it'll kill me when it's over
I don't wanna think about it, I want you to love me now
I don't know who's gonna kiss you when I'm gone
So I'm gonna love you now like it's all I have
I know it'll kill me when it's over
I don't wanna think about it, I just wanna love you now
[Post-Chorus]
(Love me now, love me now)
Oh, oh, love you now, oh, oh, oh
(Love me now, love me now)
Love you now
Oh, love you now, oh, oh, oh, oh
