I miss how you lie with me (miss how you lie)
Just wish you could dine with me (wish you could dine)
One at a grind with me (oohhhh one at a grind with me)

[chorus]

The chorus of the song shows the man wanna make up, wish never broke up, and need to link up right now. The word 'right now' emphasizes what the man wants. When you want something and you want it right now, it means that you really really want it, right? The same is also true with the man. Since he wants all of those hopes to happen right now, it is clear that he really wants it. He really wants to make up, he really wishes never broke up, and he really needs to link up. As the previous paragraph explains, all are because he realizes the mistake he did when he decided to break up and end the relationship.

Well, that is my interpretation of Akon's Right Now song. Your comments are highley appreciated.
