Need You Now

"Need You Now" came from a real moment in my military journey. Not every story is easy to tell. This one came from a dark place, from struggles that many of us face but don't always talk about. "Maybe healing needs a hand sometimes—And maybe yours steadies mine."—that's the raw truth. I wrote this because I know I'm not alone in these battles, and maybe sharing my story helps someone else feel less alone too.

I've heard from so many veterans and active-duty members who connect with this song. That's what makes it worth it—knowing that our shared experiences, our stories, can bring us together.

We serve with honor, we live with purpose, and we tell our stories so others know they're not alone.

This is more than a song—it's our story. And I'm honored to share it with you.

(Inspired by “Need You Now”)Topic: Late-night vulnerability and reaching for hopeTone: Emotional, late-night, honest Verse 1 It’s 2AM and the room won’t rest,Shadows crawling on my chest.Tried whiskey, tried music, tried walking around—But your voice is the only thing that calms me down.I swore I wouldn’t call, swore I’d be fine—But the truth is, baby, I’m losing my mind.These memories hit harder in the quiet,War turns nighttime into a riot. Verse 2 I know we said we’d slow things down,Give space, breathe deep, figure it out.But I’m sitting here with my hands in my hair,Missing the way you used to care.You don’t owe me anything tonight,But damn, I need your voice to hold me right.Just hear me out—no fights, no blame—Just two tired hearts saying each other’s name. Pre-Chorus Maybe healing needs a hand sometimes—And maybe yours steadies mine. Chorus I need you now,More than I’d ever say out loud.More than pride, more than pain,More than memories I can’t contain.If you’re awake, if you’ve got room somehow—Baby… I need you now. Bridge I ain’t asking for forever—Just a moment we get better. * Influence: Modern emotional country-pop, original
