Need It Now Lyrics

Looks at the ashtray,
There's nothing inside.
Smells like the fire,
I guess you left it behind.

I won't have it, I won't have it,
Everything and nothing is fine.
I won't have it, I won't have it,
Looks as though I lost all this time.

Oh oh, I need it now.
Oh oh, I need it now.
I need it somehow,
I need it somehow.

Spill the ash on the floor, shut your eyes,
Can't take anymore, can't take it.
Last the night for a change, we greet the dawn.
I've heard it before, I've heard it.

I won't have it, I won't have it,
Everything and nothing is fine.
I won't have it, I won't have it,
Looks as though I lost all this time.

Oh oh, I need it now.
Oh oh, I need it now.
I need it somehow,
I need it somehow.

Must have been lost, must have been lost.
Can't see the lies that are holding you back.
Must have been lost, must have been lost.
Can't see the lies that are holding you back.

I'll let you go, I will understand
I'll let you go, I will understand
I'll let you go, I will understand
I'll let you go, I will understand

Looks at the ashtray,
There's nothing inside.
Smells like the fire,
I guess you left it behind.

I won't have it, I won't have it,
Everything and nothing is fine.
I won't have it, I won't have it,
Looks as though I lost all this time.

Oh oh, I need it now.
Oh oh, I need it now.
I need it somehow,
I need it somehow.

Spill the ash on the floor, shut your eyes,
Can't take anymore, can't take it.
Last the night for a change, we greet the dawn.
I've heard it before, I've heard it.

I won't have it, I won't have it,
Everything and nothing is fine.
I won't have it, I won't have it,
Looks as though I lost all this time.

Oh oh, I need it now.
Oh oh, I need it now.
I need it somehow,
I need it somehow.

Must have been lost, must have been lost.
Can't see the lies that are holding you back.
Must have been lost, must have been lost.
Can't see the lies that are holding you back.

I'll let you go, I will understand 
I'll let you go, I will understand
I'll let you go, I will understand
I'll let you go, I will understand

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
