What About Now Lyrics
[Verse 1: Shane]
Shadows fill an empty heart as love is fading
From all the things that we are but are not saying
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?
Change the colours of the sky
And open up to the ways you made me feel alive
The ways I loved you, for all the things that never died
To make it through the night
Love will find you
[Chorus: All, Shane]
What about now? What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late
What about now?
[Verse 2: Mark]
Oh, the sun is breaking in your eyes to start a new day
This broken heart can still survive with a touch of your grace
Shadows fade into the light
I am by your side where love will find you
[Chorus: All]
What about now? What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late
Shadows fill an empty heart as love is fading
From all the things that we are but are not saying
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?
Change the colours of the sky
And open up to the ways you made me feel alive
The ways I loved you, for all the things that never died
To make it through the night
Love will find you
[Chorus: All, Shane]
What about now? What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late
What about now?
[Verse 2: Mark]
Oh, the sun is breaking in your eyes to start a new day
This broken heart can still survive with a touch of your grace
Shadows fade into the light
I am by your side where love will find you
[Chorus: All]
What about now? What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late
[Bridge: Mark]
What about now?
Now that we're here
Now that we've come this far, just hold on
There is nothing to fear, for I am right beside you
For all my life, I am yours
[Chorus: Shane, All]
What about now? What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
What about now? What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late
Baby, before it's too late
Baby, before it's too late
What about now?
What about now?
Now that we're here
Now that we've come this far, just hold on
There is nothing to fear, for I am right beside you
For all my life, I am yours
[Chorus: Shane, All]
What about now? What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
What about now? What about today?
What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?
What if our love, it never went away?
What if it's lost behind words we could never find?
Baby, before it's too late
Baby, before it's too late
Baby, before it's too late
What about now?

Genius Annotation
Fresh off recent exposure of the original version by Daughtry to British television audiences in 2009 (both Britain’s Got Talent and The X Factor), Westlife recorded their version for their own comeback later in 2009, performing this song on The X Factor themselves, where their manager Louis Walsh was on the judging panel. It entered at number two on the UK Singles Chart behind fellow judge Cheryl’s debut single that was performed live the week before, “Fight For This Love”.
