Verse 1:
The sound of music in my headphones
Got me feelin' like I'm livin' the high life
When will I get the chance to prove it
Well, it might be now, yeah, it might be now
Chorus:
'Cause I know I can do it, oh, I'm not scared
And you know I can do it, oh, I'm not scared
How soon is now? Oh, I want it now!
Oh, how soon is now? Oh, I want it now!
Verse 2:
You know I've been down in the dumps
But now I'm feeling like a million pounds
Oh, and you know that I'm coming up
Well, it might be now, yeah, it might be now
Chorus:
'Cause I know I can do it, oh, I'm not scared
And you know I can do it, oh, I'm not scared
How soon is now? Oh, I want it now!
Oh, how soon is now? Oh, you gotta hold on
Bridge:
Well, let me out there and make a play for it
Cause now or never maybe it won't be today
I won't stop 'til they know my name!
How soon is now? Yeah, it might be now
Chorus:
Oh, yeah, come on, how soon is now? Oh, oh...
Gonna prove that they wrong when they laugh and cry...
You got a good run!
You don't give up till the world gets your blue run.
How soon is now? Oh, yeah...
