Don't want to wait 'til tomorrow
Why put it off another day?
One more walk through problems
Built-up and stands in our way, ah

One step ahead, one step behind me
Now you gotta run to get even
Make future plans or dream about yesterday, hey
C'mon turn, turn this thing around

(Right now), hey
It's your tomorrow
(Right now),
C'mon, it's everything
(Right now),
Catch a magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything

Miss the beat, you lose the rhythm
And nothing falls into place, no
Only missed by a fraction
Slipped a little off your pace, oh

The more things you get, the more you want
Just trade in one for the other
Workin' so hard, to make it easier, whoa
Got to turn, c'mon turn this thing around

(Right now), hey
It's your tomorrow
(Right now)
C'mon, it's everything
(Right now)
Catch that magic moment, do it
Right here and now
It means everything
It's enlightened me, right now
What are you waitin' for?
Oh, yeah, right now

(Right now), hey
It's your tomorrow
(Right now)
C'mon, it's everything
(Right now)
Catch that magic moment, and do it right, right now
Oh, right now
It's what's happening
Right here and now
Right now
It's right now
Oh
Tell me, what are you waiting for?
Turn this thing around

    this song gives me hope that there are other people in the world, besides me, who are just as impulsive with their feelings as i am...and that i'm not the only hopeless romantic left. this is the way this song makes me feel, not sure why...but seeing and hearing this song live in concert made me feel all the more hopeful.

    van halen have a few songs give me the same feelings... they are really awesome musicians, and their words are great too. never miss the beat.

    Catch a magic moment, Right here and now It means everything You miss the beat, you lose the rhythm, And nothing falls into place
