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 know 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
