Wrong Time
Clay Newton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A split second now let's convo
Your number changed after graduation, and that really altered my persono
Took it as a note, but still you had some shit to learn even though we educated
Back then I was giving you attention, I sorry you went under appreciated
I've your recent pictures you look happy love
You know the difference cause of what we went through.
Back then I had this feeling, but, was just too blind to see
Knew I was bound to love you the right way at the wrong time, ah
What I was thinking lookin into your eyes at our last fight, oh
I can't help that I'mma love you always, I'll be old with kids and still feel the same
Knew I was bound to love you the right way at the wrong time, time, time, time, time
Reminiscing on you since we, that's vanilla
Birth mark inside your thigh yeah I remember
I knew we well, you knew me better
Fogging up the windows in yo mama Jetta
I was your first for a lot of things, never thought the heart break was what I would bring
My sight is 20/20 now it's faded, but you saw through me when I wasn't jaded
So on and on, as my world would fall, to stop and thank the Lord I knew you
Our memory's a song I wish to re-record, but I hear you making new tunes, and I
Pray that you forgive me, and know that every man ain't me
Back then I had this feeling, was just too blind to see
Knew I was bound to love you the right way at the wrong time, ah
What I was thinking lookin into your eyes at our last fight, oh
I can't help that I'mma love you always, I'll be old with kids and still feel the same
Knew I was bound to love you the right way at the wrong time, time, time, time, time
On and on you're in my thoughts, re-it's replaying
The only thing I have of us I'm forced to save it
The song "Wrong Time" by Clay Newton talks about love that was not meant to be because of bad timing. The song is a reflection on a past relationship and the opportunity for a second chance. In the first verse, the singer is reminiscing and wants to reconnect with his former lover. He acknowledges that he took his former partner for granted, and that arrogance caused the demise of their relationship. Even though they both grew after going their separate ways, the singer is still in love and hopes for a second chance.
The second verse further reflects on the wrong timing of their relationship. The singer acknowledges that he had feelings for his former partner but was too blind to see them then. He wishes he could go back in time to do things differently and love his former partner the right way, which was impossible because of bad timing. The chorus repeats the same message of missed opportunities, wrong timing, and a love that cannot be helped.
The song expresses deep emotion and is relatable to anyone who has had a love that did not work out because of timing or other factors that one could not control. The song is an ode to what-could-have-been and a reminder that love, like everything else, can be cruelly impacted by timing.
