[intro] la...la la la la la...la la la la la...la la la la la...la la la la [verse] took the long road home wore the dress they'd long put away got there on my own learned the words to songs already in decay i fell behind, stayed behind changed my mind, made up my mind i watched the world rush past and waved you thought i missed the date, it's timely to my fate [interlude] la...la la la la la...la la la la la...la la la la la...la la la la [verse] made it one more try arrived when nobody else even knew wasn't gonna cry held the things they all assumed were through i stood still, kept still it felt clear, stayed clear i found my footing where i had to land you thought i missed the date, it's timely to my fate [bridge] moving at a pace they couldn't track some paths only make sense looking back and i wouldn't trade the wait because the things worth having seemed to know exactly when to find me [instrumental break] [chorus] you thought i missed the date, it's timely to my fate (la...la la la la) you thought i missed the date, it's timely to my fate [outro] i showed up when the time was right i moved on when the time was right i spoke up when the time was right i let go when the time was right i said yes when the time was right i gave in when the time was right i woke up when the time was right it's timely to my fate
