Lyrics

[Verse]
I pulled up to the diner, quarter past nine,
Saw you in the window, sipping on wine.
Guess we had the same thought running through our minds,
But it was right place, wrong time.

[Verse 2]
We used to share a booth, 'neath that neon sign,
Laugh about the future, leave our past behind.
Now we're strangers passing, no words to unwind,
Caught in the right place, wrong time.

[Chorus]
Right place, wrong time, darlin', that's our fate,
You moved on too fast, I showed up too late.
Two hearts out of sync, can't recreate,
Right place, wrong time, can't set it straight.

[Verse 3]
I watched you from a distance, bittersweet sight,
You looked so content, under those neon lights.
Memories haunting, like a broken rhyme,
Right place, wrong time.

[Bridge]
If we'd met a bit sooner, or maybe bit late,
Could have changed our story, re-written our slate.
Now we're just a song, lost in distant chime,
Right place, wrong time.

[Chorus]
Right place, wrong time, darlin', that's our fate,
You moved on too fast, I showed up too late.
Two hearts out of sync, can't recreate,
Right place, wrong time, can't set it straight.

Outro
So I'll leave this diner, let the memories fade,
Sometimes love's a deal that just never gets made.
We were close to forever, but fell out of line,
Guess we'll always be... right place, wrong time.
