Brandi Carlile - Right On Time Lyrics

Brandi Carlile Lyrics

"Right On Time"

Come back now, even if you call me out
You might be angry now of course you are
I'm scared too, didn't mean to take it out on you
I know I always do, you're the strongest person in the room
Turn back time, help me to rewind and we can
Find ourselves again

It's not too late
Either way, I lose you in these silent days
It wasn't right
But it was right on time

Don't look down
I can feel it when your heart starts pounding
It's beyond your control, you know it is
It's getting to the point where I can't carry on
I never held my breath for quite this long
And I don't take it back, I did what I had to do

It's not too late
Either way, I lose you in these silent days
It wasn't right
But it was right on time

It's not too late
Either way, I lose you in these silent days
It wasn't right
But it was right on time

Brandi Carlile performed "Right On Time" as a musical guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on the 22nd of July, 2021. Speaking with Variety before the show, Carlile revealed about the writing of it, "I almost wanted to steer away from power ballads and big notes altogether, because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do it again as well and that I would struggle with that. But when 'Right on Time' came to me, I was like, 'Okay. I can relax. This is where I was meant to go after 'The Joke'.'"

Courteney Cox directed the music video for this track. Brandi Carlile first sent the song to several directors, which sent back their ideas. Carlile explained during her appearance on CBS's "This Morning" show shortly before the song's release, "Her was just the best. And Courteney, she didn't send the treatment, she FaceTime'd to me and she acted out the whole thing. And I was riveted. I was like, 'That's the song! You get it!'"
