Bill Beare - The Right One Lyrics

What does it take to see it when it comes?
This is no mistake, this is the one
Heaven sent for the heart and the soul
The missing entity for the half to be whole
The right choice, the best, my type
My travelling companion for the rest of my life
My soul mate, my partner, my lover, my friend
My closest other till the very, till the very, very end

I've never questioned the beauty of love
I've always argued that love is enough
But love can't be held, tied nor tethered
And the tale that it tells is nothing lasts forever
We may wish to burn and stay sublime
But as the world turns and we change
The right one somehow becomes the wrong one every time

Things click, bits fit, sharp edges slip into place
It's there, it's worth it, rare, perfect, daring, sharing your personal space
There with you to understand you, to give you, to hand you
The chance to never be alone
You've got one, a nice one, a good one, the right one
You know it in your brain and you feel it deep in your bones
This one is the one

But then strange but true, the changes we go through
See the win-win slip into the horizon
And the bits of me and you, the edges we knew
We miss and lose when we begin compromising
No one burns, no blame, it's life
The world just turns and we change with the changing times

A shame to see something so tight come so undone
So real, so right, to be the right ones
But things change, peoples' hearts, peoples' minds
Those once at one in those moments in time
Can never stay the same, can never say when
But we were the right ones, we were there, we were then
And despite our yearning to stay sublime
The world keeps turning, the right ones become the wrong ones every time
