Song Lyrics - Song Title
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the
floor
Reachin’ 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
Yes 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
