[Verse 1]
I saw you turn and smile
And time got rude again
I kept my words in my pocket
Like a note with no address
You ask me what I'm thinking
I say "nothing," look away
But my heart keeps tapping out
What my mouth won't say
[M] I'm done with almost
[F] I'm done with maybe
You got me leaning
Closer daily
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me now
Or lose my nerve
I've been holding this
For what it's worth
If I say it slow
Would you stay right here
Baby, I'm one breath
From making it clear
[Chorus]
When is it the right time
To tell you, I love you
I love you, I love you
Don't let this moment pass through
When is it the right time
To say what I'm feeling
I love you, I love you
Baby, tell me you're hearing
[M] I need you close
[F] I want you here
[M] Say it back now
[F] Say it back clear
[Verse 2]
I tried to act cool
Like I had all night
But your name in my chest
Keeps starting fights
Every little touch
Feels like a sign
And every laugh from you
Takes more of my mind
So if I go first
Would you meet me there
Or would you make me wait
Till I'm standing bare
[Pre-Chorus]
So tell me now
Or lose my nerve
I've been holding this
For what it's worth
If I say it slow
Would you stay right here
Baby, I'm one breath
From making it clear
[Chorus]
When is it the right time
To tell you, I love you
I love you, I love you
Don't let this moment pass through
When is it the right time
To say what I'm feeling
I love you, I love you
Baby, tell me you're hearing
[M] I need you close
[F] I want you here
[M] Say it back now
[F] Say it back clear
[Bridge]
Maybe love ain't perfect
Maybe it's a leap
Maybe it's your hand
Finding mine before I speak
So take this heart
It's all I got
If you say "come closer"
I'm not gonna stop
[Final Chorus]
When is it the right time
To tell you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I can feel the truth move
When is it the right time
To say what I'm feeling
I love you, I love you
Now I'm finally breathing
[M] I need you close
[F] I want you here
[M] Say it back now
[F] Say it back clear
