Timing - Sarah Jones

We met on an off chance one night

It was strange how the stars seemed to align

But I let the scene unfold before my eyes

Our paths kept crossing at the time

But I had a boy who I called mine

So I kept my distance but kept you on my mind

And then came the time

I was hoping, waiting for you

But I came to find

It was too late to try and find you

And maybe timing’s all that matters anymore

It gives you hope but then it kicks you to the floor

No matter how hard I try

I still can’t get you off my mind

Soon you’ll be in a tux and bow tie

And I’ll be cursing timing ‘til I die

I’ll be cursing timing ‘til I die

You had bright blue eyes but I was blind

I was too caught up to even realize

And now you’ve got a girl and she’s gonna be your bride

You gave me the time

But I looked the other way

I thought the time was right

But now you’ve gone away

And maybe timing’s all that matters anymore

It gives you hope but then it kicks you to the floor

No matter how hard I try

I still can’t get you off my mind

Soon you’ll be in a tux and bow tie

And I’ll be cursing timing ‘til I die

I’ll be cursing timing ‘til I die

And I wish I could turn back the hands of time

And somehow make the situation right

I miss you, I wish you

Could give me one more try

I swear I’d let you in this time

Well maybe, you’re already gone

And maybe my timing was all wrong

And maybe timing’s all that matters anymore

It gives you hope but then it kicks you to the floor

No matter how hard I try

I still can’t get you off my mind

Soon you’ll be in a tux and bow tie

And I’ll be cursing timing ‘til I die

I’ll be cursing timing ‘til I die

'Til I die
