Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got your name on my screen
And my thumb just stays there
Circle goes round and round
Like I’m stuck in that chair
Your laugh in my truck
Still hangs in the air
I play it cool, act tough
But you know I care
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m one beer in
And one truth down
If I say it now
Will it shake this town?
My heart keeps saying
Don’t wait too long
So tell me, baby
Where do I belong?
[Chorus]
When is it the right time
To tell you?
I love you, I love you
That’s all I can do
When is it the right time
To tell you?
Take my hand, baby
And I’ll tell you true
(I love you)
[Verse 2]
Your porch light’s glowing
On that gravel road
Your screen door creaks
And my courage shows
I rehearsed this line
In a hundred ways
But your eyes hit mine
And they all go away
I’ve been holding back
Like a fool in chains
Now the whole damn sky
Feels heavy with rain
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m one step in
From the edge tonight
If I keep my cool
I lose this fight
My chest says go
My pride says stop
But I can’t keep
This in my heart
[Chorus]
When is it the right time
To tell you?
I love you, I love you
That’s all I can do
When is it the right time
To tell you?
Take my hand, baby
And I’ll tell you true
(I love you)
[Bridge]
Maybe now
Maybe here
Maybe when you pull me
Close and clear
I don’t need perfect
I just need you
One small yes
And I’m coming through
[Final Chorus]
When is it the right time
To tell you?
I love you, I love you
That’s all I can do
When is it the right time
To tell you?
Take my hand, baby
And I’ll tell you true
(I love you)
(I love you)
