Right Place Wrong Time
Avant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I see your face,
Every time I look in your eyes (makes me remember, I still
Remember)
Takin' that flight out west,
Just down in LAX (it was December, the end of winter)
Stopped at the shoppin' malls, just for you I had to ball
Givin' you everything
You showed me things that I never knew and I thank you

Okay okay lemme clear my mind (lotta things goin' on in my head)
You know the truth, you can never be mine (still trip off of all
The things that you said)
That you loved me and you need me (yes you do)
I still believe it (but),
I must be crazy
God knows that I don't know what I should do
But all that I can say

Right place, wrong time
I'm sittin' here stuck in the middle of a masquerade with you
You cant be mine
I'll have to chuck it up but it'll hurt me so much (whoa whoa whoa)
Whoa whoa whoa (I really want you)
Hey God knows that I dont know what I should do (tell me what should I do)
Cause I'm still in love with you

Travelin' from here to there, only so much I can bare (I wanna
See you, but I cant see you)
Knowin' this from the start, didn't really wanna break no hearts
(but my emotions are still takin' me over)
Knowing you used to call, constantly my phone was off and I knew
This day would come
You would go and find somebody new
But I'm still in love with you

Right place, wrong time
I'm sittin' here stuck in the middle of a masquerade with you you cant be mine
I'll have to chuck it up but it'll hurt me so much (whoa whoa whoa)
Whoa whoa whoa (can somebody help me)
Hey God knows that I don't know what I should do (what should I do)
Cause I'm still in love with you

I loved the things that we did together, places we went together
(all of the places that we went together baby)
Girl I was down whatever
When I had time off, we could get that all
But you know I been werkin' for certain and I know that hurts you
Someone else is fillin' my shoes but I'm not mad at you
Cause I wasn't there, now he's takin' my place, fillin' my space,
Leavin' me with nothin' else to say

Right place, wrong time (right place, wrong time)
I'm sittin' here stuck in the middle of a masquerade with you
You can't be mine (But I need you)
I'll have to chuck it up but it'll hurt me so much (whoa whoa whoa)
Whoa whoa whoa
Hey (you know I cant live without you girl please don't leave me
Right now I need you in my life)
Oh oh




Say say oh oh
Say say oh oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Avant's song Right Place Wrong Time portray a sense of longing and regret from the singer's perspective. The song appears to describe a relationship that is unable to fully blossom due to circumstance and bad timing. The singer reminisces on memories with his lover, recalling trips they took together and the little things that he did to make her happy. The lyrics also seem to allude to a possible long-distance relationship, with the singer lamenting the fact that he is unable to see his lover as often as he would like. Despite this, the singer still holds on to the hope that their love is real, even though he recognizes that pursuing it would only lead to heartbreak.


The chorus of the song, "Right place, wrong time," serves as a refrain that emphasizes the theme of missed opportunities and unfulfilled love. The singer repeats it several times throughout the song, as if trying to come to terms with the situation. He acknowledges that his lover "can't be mine," but is still torn between holding on to that love and moving on. The song's melancholic tone and repetitive refrain create a sense of emotional turmoil, as the singer struggles with his feelings.
