Wrong Time
Will Linley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All that I remember are the blurry nights
Two people speeding through the suburbs at ninety-five
I'm tryna say I didn't love you, but that's a lie, yeah
Cold air skinny dipping, I
I'm still finding sand inside my shoes sometimes
Showed me all your cards and the secrets that you're keeping
Said it's not enough that we only love the feeling
Oh, oh-oh-oh
I should get a new life if you're seeing other guys
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Cos I know that I will want you even if you're not mine
She was the right girl at the wrong time
Asked me for a light and burned the butterflies
She made my heart stop, but it wasn't the kind
That makes you fall in love, it was a flat line
I'm tryna move on, pack up the memories
And move on, nothing can change
That she's the right girl at the wrong time
And I know that I will want her even if she's not mine
That stare, baby blue eyes
It hurts to look at how you made me feel alive
Cos my friends will see your friends
And they all know what we're thinking
Nothing's been the same since you made me kill my feelings
Oh, oh-oh-oh
I should get a new life if you're seeing other guys
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Cos I know that I will want you even if you're not mine
She was the right girl at the wrong time
Asked me for a light and burned the butterflies
She made my heart stop, but it wasn't the kind
That makes you fall in love, it was a flat line
I'm tryna move on, pack up the memories
And move on, nothing can change
That she's the right girl at the wrong time
And I know that I will want her even if she's not mine
She was the right girl at the wrong time
Don't have eyes for anyone, my heart is blind
It makes goodbyes worse, but I'm alright
And I know that I will want you even if you're not mine
She was the right girl at the wrong time
Asked me for a light and burned the butterflies
She made my heart stop, but it wasn't the kind
That makes you fall in love, it was a flat line
I'm tryna move on, pack up the memories
And move on, nothing can change
That she's the right girl (Right girl) at the wrong time (Wrong time)
And I know that I will want her even if she's not mine
The lyrics of Will Linley's song "Wrong Time" depict the bittersweet experience of being in a relationship that feels right, but the timing is wrong. The singer reminisces about the past, where their nights were filled with blurry memories, reckless behavior, and a deep connection with their partner. Despite claiming that they didn't love their partner, they admit it was a lie, indicating the conflicting emotions they feel.
The lyrics also touch upon the aftermath of the relationship, as the singer still finds reminders of their time together, such as sand in their shoes. The partner unveiled their vulnerabilities and secrets, emphasizing that the shallow "love the feeling" isn't enough, suggesting that there was a desire for something deeper.
The chorus reflects the singer's struggle to move on. They understand that they should start a new life if their partner is seeing other people, yet they acknowledge that their longing for them will persist, even if they're no longer together. This conflicting desire highlights the strength of their connection.
The second verse further describes the impact the partner had on the singer. The partner's captivating stare and baby blue eyes made them feel alive, but it also caused pain. The singer acknowledges the difficulty in moving forward, especially with the social connections that intertwine their lives. The partner's influence has altered everything, even their ability to feel emotions.
The repeated chorus reinforces the idea of the right person at the wrong time. The partner asked for a light, symbolizing a potential spark, but instead, it burnt the butterflies, suggesting that it didn't lead to a romantic, love-filled experience. The heartbeat metaphorically stops but doesn't ignite the feeling of falling in love; it remains stagnant, like a flat line. The singer wants to let go of the memories and move on, but the realization that the partner is the right person remains, even if they can't be together.
The final verse reiterates the concept of the right person at the wrong time. The singer admits their heart is blind and only sees the partner, shutting out other potential love interests. Although goodbyes are difficult, they claim to be okay, accepting the situation. Yet, the song concludes with the affirmation that the desire for the partner will persist, reinforcing the central theme of loving someone even when circumstances prevent being together.
Overall, "Wrong Time" delves into the complexities of love, timing, and the longing for someone even when the relationship feels out of sync with reality. It explores the enduring emotional impact of a relationship that brought both joy and heartache, leaving the singer with a deep longing for a person they can never fully possess.

Blonde hair covering my eyes
Her physical appearance was so captivating that it blinded me to the truth
All that I remember are the blurry nights
Our time together was filled with chaotic and hazy experiences
Two people speeding through the suburbs at ninety-five
We were engaged in a reckless and fast-paced relationship
I'm tryna say I didn't love you, but that's a lie, yeah
I'm attempting to deny my feelings for you, but it's not true
Cold air skinny dipping, I
We exposed our vulnerabilities in a carefree manner
I'm still finding sand inside my shoes sometimes
Remnants of our time together occasionally resurface and remind me
Showed me all your cards and the secrets that you're keeping
You revealed your true self, including the hidden aspects
Said it's not enough that we only love the feeling
You expressed that mere infatuation is insufficient for our relationship
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Expressing a sense of realization or understanding
I should get a new life if you're seeing other guys
If you're involved with other people, I should move on and start fresh
Cos I know that I will want you even if you're not mine
Despite not being together, I still have a strong desire for you
She was the right girl at the wrong time
You were the perfect match for me, but the timing was unfavorable
Asked me for a light and burned the butterflies
You initiated contact, but it led to the destruction of the initial excitement
She made my heart stop, but it wasn't the kind
You had a profound impact on me, but it wasn't the love that blossoms
That makes you fall in love, it was a flat line
Instead of experiencing emotional growth, our connection remained stagnant
I'm tryna move on, pack up the memories
I'm making an effort to let go and store away the recollections
And move on, nothing can change
Continue with my life, accepting that the circumstances cannot be altered
That she's the right girl at the wrong time
The realization that you were the perfect match, but our timing was off
And I know that I will want her even if she's not mine
Despite not being in a relationship, my desire for you remains strong
That stare, baby blue eyes
The intense gaze from your mesmerizing blue eyes
It hurts to look at how you made me feel alive
Painful to remember how you once revitalized my existence
Cos my friends will see your friends
Through mutual acquaintances, details of our relationship are exposed
And they all know what we're thinking
Our friends are aware of the thoughts and emotions we share
Nothing's been the same since you made me kill my feelings
Ever since you caused me to forcibly suppress my emotions, everything has changed
Don't have eyes for anyone, my heart is blind
Unable to develop feelings for anyone else, my heart is closed off
It makes goodbyes worse, but I'm alright
Bidding farewell becomes even more difficult, but I am coping
And I know that I will want you even if you're not mine
Despite not having a claim on you, I will still have a strong desire for you
