Prompt / Lyrics
Think: mid-tempo, late-night, candlelight, pleading-with-love energy. Key idea: love feeling like fate, confusion, vulnerability, devotion. Title: “Right On Time” Tempo/Feel: mid-tempo 90s R&B Vocal Style: lead + group responses, stacked harmonies Mood: romantic, a little desperate, heartfelt Intro (spoken / harmony pads) (soft harmony “oohs” under) Yeah… Mmm… I wasn’t ready for this… But here we are (background) Ooooh… yeah… Verse 1 Late night, shadows on the wall Your name keeps echoing when I fall asleep I tried to play it cool, stay guarded But you walked in and shifted everything Every smile hit me unexpected Every touch got me second-guessin’ me I was fine in my own direction Now my heart don’t move unless you lead (background: “unless you lead… yeah”) Pre-Chorus I don’t know when it happened I don’t know how it went this far All I know is every road I’m on Somehow leads me to where you are (background) Where you are… Every time… Chorus Love showed up right on time Caught me slippin’, crossed the line I was runnin’ from the feelin’ Now I’m standin’ here exposed If this is fate, don’t let it pass me by If this is real, don’t let it go I don’t need no sign from the sky Just don’t leave my heart alone (background ad-libs) Right on time… (yeah) Don’t pass me by… (no, no) I’m open now… Verse 2 I see your face in every crowd Hear your voice when it’s quiet in my room Tried to blame it on the moment But deep inside I know the truth I been burned, I been broken Said I’d never fall this deep again But you got me believin’ in promises I told myself I’d never make (background) Never make… no… Pre-Chorus Now my pride’s on the sideline And my heart’s in the game If you’re reachin’ out for me I swear I won’t pull away (background) Won’t pull away… I’m here… Chorus Love showed up right on time Caught me slippin’, crossed the line I was runnin’ from the feelin’ Now I’m standin’ here exposed If this is fate, don’t let it pass me by If this is real, don’t let it go I don’t need no sign from the sky Just don’t leave my heart alone (background) Don’t leave it alone… Yeah… Bridge (breakdown – minimal drums) (Lead) If I give you all of me Promise you’ll be gentle, baby (Group response) Be gentle… (Lead) I ain’t askin’ for forever Just don’t play with my heart (Group) Don’t play, don’t play… (Lead) If this moment’s everything Then let’s not tear it apart (background ad-libs) Ohhh… yeah… Stay right here… Chorus (double / harmony heavy) Love showed up right on time When I wasn’t lookin’ at all Turned my maybes into questions Now I’m hopin’ you won’t stall If this is fate, don’t let it fade away If this is us, then let it grow I don’t need the stars to align Just don’t leave my heart alone (background) Right on time… Let it grow… Yeah… Outro (spoken / ad-libs) (soft lead) Guess love knew what it was doin’ When it found me… (background) Mmm… yeah… Right on time… (fade with harmony) Ooooh… don’t leave my heart alone…
