Right Turn, Wrong Time

(Verse 1 - male vocals only)

Met you on a backroad, summer hangin’ low

Radio static and a heart I didn’t know

You had your hair tied up, I had places to be

Both of us runnin’ from somethin’ we couldn’t see

You said, “Boy, I don’t believe in signs or fate”

But your hand fit mine like it already knew my name

(Pre-Chorus - male vocals only)

Every mile felt like a promise we’d outrun

But promises get heavy when the night comes undone

(Chorus - Duet of male and female vocals)

It’s a right turn, wrong time

Every damn road says you should be mine

But there’s a ring on your finger or a ghost on my line

Always close, never crossed that line

We’re a spark in the dark, but the kindle wont ignite

Yeah, it’s a right turn, but the wrong time

(Verse 2 - female vocals only)

Ran into you at a bar three towns away

You were laughin’ like nothin’ ever changed

Said I heard your song playin’ on the drive

Asked if you were happy, you said, “You’re gettin’ by”

You leaned in close like you had somethin’ to say

Then your phone lit up and you faded away

(Pre-Chorus - female vocals only)

Every time I think we’re finally in the clear

Life slams the brakes and you disappear

(Chorus - duet of male and female vocals)

It’s a right turn, wrong time

Every damn road says you should be mine

But you’re lovin’ somebody or I’m tryin’ to be fine

Always almost, never on time

We’re a spark in the dark, but the kindle won’t ignite

Yeah, it’s a right turn but the wrong time

(Bridge - Alternate lines between male and female vocals)

(Male Vocal) Couple drunk texts every couple years

(Female Vocal) “Hope you’re doin’ good,” through a screen full of fear

(Male Vocal) Delete the message, then send it again

(Female Vocal) ‘Cause what if this time is where it all begins?

(Male Vocal) But you say you’re engaged, or I say I can’t stay

(Female Vocal) One of us always has somethin’ in the way

(Breakdown - duet of male and female vocals)

Maybe in another life

Where the clocks don’t lie

And the timing ain’t cruel

Maybe we’d make it through

(Chorus - duet of male and female vocals)

Still a right turn, wrong time

Still your name burnin’ holes in my mind

If I’d stayed that night or you’d crossed that line

Would we be forever or just another goodbye?

Guess I’ll see you in another life

‘Cause it’s a right turn but the wrong time

(Outro - duet of male and female vocals)

So I’ll keep drivin’ past where we could’ve been

You’ll keep callin’ when you need a friend

Two hearts that know the sign

Just missin’ the time
