When the stars line up 
And you catch a good break 
People think you're lucky 
But you know it's grace 
It can happen so fast 
Or a little bit late 
Timing is everything 
And though I've had close calls 
When it could have been me 
I was young when I learned just how fragile life can be 
I lost friends of mine 
I guess it wasn't my time 
Timing is everything 
And I could have been a child that got took home 
And I would have been one more unfinished song 
And when it seems a rhyme is hard to find 
That's when [bad word] along 
Just in time 
Well, I remember that day 
When our eyes first met 
You ran into the building to get out of the rain 
Cause you were soaking wet 
And as I held the door 
You wanted to know my name 
Timing is everything 
And I could have been another minute late 
And you never would have crossed my path that day 
And when it seems [bad word] love is hard to find 
That's when [bad word] along just in time 
Well, you can call it fate 
Or destiny 
Sometimes it really seems like it's a mystery 
Cause you can be hurt by love 
Or healed by the same 
Timing is everything 
And it can happen so fast 
Or a little bit late 
Timing is everything
