Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before you came my time was running low
I was lost, the losing dice were tossed
My bridges all were crossed, no where to go
Now you're here, now I know just where I'm going
No more doubt or fears I've found my way
For love came just in time
And changed my lonely life that lucky day
Now you're here, now I know just where I'm going
No more doubt or fears I've found my way
For love came just in time
You found me just in time
And changed my lonely life that lucky day

Just in time, I found you just in time
I discovered you at the perfect moment
Before you came my time was running low
My life was lacking something before I met you
I was lost, the losing dice were tossed
I felt directionless and unlucky before you came into my life
My bridges all were crossed, no where to go
I had nowhere to turn and had already exhausted all my options
Now you're here, now I know just where I'm going
You have given me a sense of purpose and direction
No more doubt or fears I've found my way
I am no longer uncertain or scared about the future
For love came just in time
Love saved me from a life of loneliness and despair
You found me just in time
You appeared when I needed you the most
And changed my lonely life that lucky day
You transformed my solitary existence and made me feel fortunate to have met you
