Never Know Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Nothing’s ever set in stone
You’re not like anyone that I met before
You win by not playing the game
The times are changing but you stay the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Let’s turn around the hourglass
Freeze it in a photograph
I’ll tell you everything I used to hide
‘Cause I don’t wanna waste your time
[Chorus]
Let’s do all the things we wanna do
Because you never know, never know, never know
(When it’s gonna stop) Never know, never know, never know
When it’s gonna stop
[Verse 2]
So let’s go pack up the car
Drive to the South of France
The wind is dancing in your hair
Singing “Je ne, regrette rien”
[Pre-Chorus]
Can’t take the money when it’s time to go
So let’s blow it like we’re movie stars
Think of all the places we can go
[Chorus]
Because you never know, never know, never know
(Where it’s gonna stop) Never know, never know, never know
Where it’s gonna stop
[Bridge]
(‘Cause you never know, never know, never know)
(When it’s gonna stop, never know, never know, never know)
(When it’s gonna stop) Never know, never know, never know
(When it’s gonna stop) Never know, never know, never know
When it’s gonna stop
[Pre-Chorus]
Can’t take the money when it’s time to go
So let’s blow it like we’re movie stars
Think of all the places we can go
[Outro]
Because you never know, never know, never know
(When it’s gonna stop) Never know, never know, never know
(When it’s gonna stop) Never know, never know, never know
When it’s gonna stop
Never Know Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1]
Luke Pritchard opens with a reflection on the unpredictable nature of life and relationships. He acknowledges that nothing is permanent and admires someone unique and unaffected by trends or social games. The verse sets the stage for the song’s central message: valuing authenticity and the unpredictable moments that make life worth living.
[Pre-Chorus]
This section suggests a desire to pause time and be emotionally transparent. Pritchard wants to freeze a beautiful moment like a photograph and share his inner truth, hinting at vulnerability and trust. The urgency behind his words reflects a fear of wasting precious time by not fully committing to connection.
[Chorus]
The chorus reinforces the carpe diem theme. With its repetitive phrasing, Pritchard emphasizes how uncertain the future is, urging listeners to pursue their desires now. The refrain “never know when it’s gonna stop” acts as a reminder that life is unpredictable and that love should be seized while it lasts.
[Verse 2]
Here, the narrative turns cinematic. Pritchard imagines an impromptu road trip to the South of France—a symbol of freedom and romantic escapism. The wind in a partner’s hair and a reference to the iconic phrase “Je ne regrette rien” reflect a carefree spirit and a shared desire to live without regrets.
[Pre-Chorus]
The repeated pre-chorus now deepens the sense of urgency. Pritchard highlights the futility of material possessions in the face of mortality. Instead, he advocates for living extravagantly and boldly—like movie stars—prioritizing meaningful experiences over cautious restraint.
[Chorus]
This reprise echoes the earlier chorus but with added momentum. The repeated idea of never knowing “where it’s gonna stop” maintains the theme of embracing the unknown and reinforces the belief that uncertainty is all the more reason to live fully.
[Bridge]
The bridge layers in additional repetition of the song’s core message. This mantra-like section intensifies the emotional resonance, echoing the inevitability of change and the pressing need to act now. It heightens the energy while anchoring the song in its message of impermanence.
[Pre-Chorus]
In this third iteration, the pre-chorus feels even more reflective. Pritchard returns to the idea that money can’t follow us beyond life, again urging for emotionally and experientially rich moments over material gain. The suggestion to “blow it like we’re movie stars” glamorizes risk-taking for love and freedom.
[Outro]
The outro circles back to the familiar chorus lines, ending the song with the lingering thought that life is fragile and unpredictable. Pritchard leaves listeners with the emotional echo of the refrain, cementing the track’s message: live boldly, love freely, because you never know when it all might end.
