The Right One Lyrics

What does it take to see it when it comes?

This is no mistake, this is the one

Heaven sent for the heart and the soul

The missing entity for the half to be whole

The right choice, the best, my type

My travelling companion for the rest of my life

My soul mate, my partner, my lover, my friend

My closest other till the very, till the very, very end

I've never questioned the beauty of love

I've always argued that love is enough

But love can't be held, tied nor tethered

And the tale that it tells is nothing lasts forever

We may wish to burn and stay sublime

But as the world turns and we change

The right one somehow becomes the wrong one every time

Things click, bits fit, sharp edges slip into place

It's there, it's worth it, rare, perfect, daring, sharing your personal space

There with you to understand you, to give you, to hand you

The chance to never be alone

You've got one, a nice one, a good one, the right one

You know it in your brain and you feel it deep in your bones

This one is the one

But then strange but true, the changes we go through

See the win-win slip into the horizon

And the bits of me and you, the edges we knew

We miss and lose when we begin compromising

No one burns, no blame, it's life

The world just turns and we change with the changing times

A shame to see something so tight come so undone

So real, so right, to be the right ones

But things change, peoples' hearts, peoples' minds

Those once at one in those moments in time

Can never stay the same, can never say when

But we were the right ones, we were there, we were then

And despite our yearning to stay sublime

The world keeps turning, the right ones become the wrong ones every time
