Right Girl Wrong Time

Neon burns on the Jersey night

Radio loud, yeah, the world feels right

You lean close, smell like summer rain

I bite my tongue just to kill the pain

We’re dancing ‘round what we don’t say

One step back from a mistake

Every look like a loaded sign

Yeah, I want you, but the clock ain’t mine

I feel the fire when you say my name

We both know this ain’t just a game

One wrong move, one heartbeat

And the ground falls out beneath our feet

You’re the right girl, wrong time

Got my hands tied, heart on the line

I’d run through hell, I’d cross that line

But some loves don’t get the green light

Yeah, the right girl, wrong time

Every night got you on my mind

I don’t get you, but God knows I tried

Right girl, wrong time

Leather jacket, motel lights

You talk ‘bout dreams, I see our life

I’d give it all just to hear you say

“Damn the rules, let’s run away”

But the truth hits harder than the drums

Some battles just can’t be won

I play it cool, I play my role

But you’re a wildfire in my soul

Your touch like gasoline

One spark away from destiny

We’re standing still in a fast-lane dream

Afraid of what this could really mean

You’re the right girl, wrong time

Got my hands tied, heart on the line

I’d scream your name to the flashing lights

But some stars don’t ever align

Yeah, the right girl, wrong time

Every prayer I say your name inside

I don’t get you, but God knows I tried

Right girl, wrong time

If this was a song on the radio

We’d light the sky at a sold-out show

Hands in the air, crowd scream it loud

But real life don’t play fair now

So I’ll step back, let you go free

Be the man you don’t see

‘Cause loving you means I lose the fight

But I’d lose it again every night

You’re the right girl, wrong time

Say it louder, cross the line

I’d bleed for you, I won’t deny

But I won’t be the reason you cry

Yeah, the right girl, wrong time

Burns like fire I can’t put out

I don’t hold you, but I’m still alive

Right girl… wrong time

Lights go down, crowd still roars

I see your face in the encore

You were never mine…

But you’ll always be the one I fight for
