Early in my Timeline

V6-WILD

[Intro - warm Rhodes, soft clean guitar, mellow bass, restrained drums]

[Verse 1 - intimate, conversational male vocal]
The life you built was fine
It took guts and years of trying
But you always wondered, when?
Maybe love was meant for other men
You stayed full with friends and laughs
But still wanted that other half
You didn't need to be saved
But that don't mean you never prayed

[Chorus - melody opens up, warm stacked harmonies]
Baby, our love is a sign
You weren't late, just early in my timeline
No fault, no shame, we were living life
And I couldn't yet be by your side
My life was winding, but sincere
Maybe yours just led you here
But look at us now
Right person, right time, right love, somehow

[Instrumental - short Rhodes and muted trumpet response]

[Verse 2 - intimate storytelling, gradually building]
My first love was a good life
But then we had to say goodbye
My grief left me adrift
I was just trying to raise my kid
But then your picture caught my eye
And I asked you out to my surprise
You may think you were looking around
But you were the one waiting to be found

[Chorus - fuller drums and harmonies]
Baby, our love is a sign
You weren't late, just early in my timeline
No fault, no shame, we were living life
And I couldn't yet be by your side
My life was winding, but sincere
Maybe yours just led you here
But look at us now
Right person, right time, right love, somehow

[Bridge - strip back to Rhodes, bass and voice; tender and direct]
Our old lives aren't erased
Now that we're at this place
Two things can be true
It doesn't change how I love you

[Brief instrumental lift - flugelhorn, Rhodes, drums building back in]

[Final Chorus - warm, soulful, full harmonies; emotional but restrained]
Baby, our love is a sign
You weren't late, just early in my timeline
No fault, no shame, we were living life
And I couldn't yet be by your side
My life was winding, but sincere
Maybe yours just led you here
But look at us now
Right person, right time, right love, somehow

[Outro - drums fall away, Rhodes and soft guitar remain]
Right person
Right time
Right love
Somehow

[softly]
Look at us now
