Right Person, Right Time

I think I knew it right when

I called my mom after our third date

She said I looked disgustingly smitten

I joked that I would marry you someday

I think I knew it right when

My dad discretely mouthed, "I love him"

From across the room, that I did, too

And I can't imagine getting old

But I hope I get to be with you

They're right, you really do know when you know

And if he wanted to, he would

I used to think that I knew what it was

How it felt, how it smelt, what it looked like

Now I know I've never been in love before you

It was never meant to be mine

Cause you're the right person so it's the right time

I think I knew it right when

You took me to your best friend's band's gig

You made public displays of affection

Even though it was the first time I met your friends

I think I knew it right when

We got drunk at my family's Thanksgiving 

I was talking shit and politics

And you still told me I looked pretty 

And I can't imagine getting old

But I hope I get to be with you

They're right, you really do know when you know

And if he wanted to, he would

I used to think that I knew what it was

How it felt, how it smelt, what it looked like

Now I know I've never been in love before you

It was never meant to be mine

Cause you're the right person so it's the right time

I've spent way too many years thinking that love had passed me by

I spent way too many nights cryin' and asking myself, "Why?"

What about me can I change?

What about me don't you like?

What about me isn't enough?

What about me isn't right?

Just to meet the boy who swallowed the sun in real life

Just to be at exactly the right place at exactly the right time

The right time

And I, I can't imagine getting old

But I hope I get to be with you

They're right, you really do know when you know

And if he wanted to, he would

I used to think that I knew what it was

How it felt, how it smelt, what it looked like

Now I know I've never been in love before you

It was never meant to be mine

Cause you're the right person so it's the right time
