Lyrics:
Come back now, even if you call me out
You might be angry now, of course you are
I’m scared too, didn’t mean to take it out on you
I know I always do, you’re the strongest person in the room
Turn back time
Help me to rewind and we can find ourselves again
It’s not too late
Either way, I lose you in these silent days
It wasn’t right, but it was right on time
Don’t look down, I can feel it when your heart starts pounding
It’s beyond your control, you know it is
It’s getting to the point where I can’t carry on
I never held my breath for quite thislong
And I don’t take it back, I did what I had to do
It’s not too late
Either way, I lose you in these silent days
It wasn’t right, but it was right on time.

This is my first time I ever heard of Brandi Carlile, I had my back to the tv at the time, her voice literally snapped my head around, such a beautiful voice, beautiful song ! It's rare to hear an Angels voice !

[JSJSpeaks]

I love her more than words could ever say. How can someone consistently sing what is in your own soul? She’s an echo of the most glorious tones, shining us back upon ourselves. Thank you, Brandi.

The first time I saw Brandi was with my partner in Calgary 8 years ago. It was in a small venue with about 60 people. My partner knew she would hit the big time because of her amazing voice, song writing skills, and presence with "the twins." He would be so pleased to see her star shine and keeping to her core values of love and social justice. He died 4 years ago and Brandi's music gives me such solace. Thank you, Brandi.

[meganwelch]

This album is going to rip my heart out, heal it, and put it back better than ever. Right on time.

[dakiniangel]

Everything Brandi Carli creates is worthy of multiple, multiple replays. Stunningly talented artist.

[kellypennington]

I baked you cookies 🍪 chocolate chip when you were just a little girl... I always told you that you would be A BIG HIT some day, and all I wanted was front row tickets to your show !!! I am still waiting for those tickets Brandy !! I LOVE YOU AND AM SOOO PROUD !!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩

[richardallen]

She's the best female singer of this generation!

[iiiicandiii]

Brandi, I couldn’t be more proud of you and the twins. You’ve been a part of my life for approximately 13-14 years now and throughout so many of life’s struggles. Seeing where you all are now is bittersweet for me. I will miss the moments where I introduce people to your music knowing they’ll never be the same once they hear your words. But you all are most deserving of the recognition you’re FINALLY getting! From the start, I never understood how you weren’t HUGE in the industry, but I may have enjoyed feeling like I had the best kept secret artists on my playlist and in my CD player. I love you all to the moon and back over and over again!

[saragallo]

This is now officially a grammy nominated song! truly deserved

[victoriahart]

Waiting in anticipation for k.d. lang and Brandi Carlile to do a duet album...

Those two voices combined would blow a hole right through this known universe.

[notgoingdownwithoutafight]

The last scene allowed me to have an amazing revelation. There are no glass walls, or ceilings. Push past your imagined limitations and live.

[jj-one]

1 minute ago i saw her in the Grammy i run here, this is a Masterpeace song and an Amazing Singer!

[belange]

This song means so much to me. It was a bond between my mom and I. I played this song for her as she left this world after we took her off life support after her year long battle with cancer. It was the right song and it was right on time. Thank you, Brandi

[fahrulrozi]

This albums masterpiece so criminally underrated 😢❤

[laurenmarker]

I lost my brother about a year ago, the lyrics hit hard. “I wouldn’t have lost you in the sudden time, it wasn’t right, but it was right on time”. Knowing that if he would have survived I probably would have lost him a different way. The strength to have to carry on, even though I don’t want to.

[mully]

We all wish, for so many reasons, that we could turn back time...lost loves, babies born, parents still alive. That is why this song grabs us right in our gut because going back is the one thing we all want and cannot have

[Mrs_Small]

I must’ve been living under a boulder, but I heard you for the first time tonight at your Grammys performance. Congratulations on your success and you have another fan to add to your immense list!💗💗💗

[jamesealy]

Just saw her open for Pink. Absolutely amazing singer and songwriter. Her and Pink together doing Nothing Compares to You was simply stunning.

[meaganhigginbotham]

This song makes me so emotional. I don’t know what Brandi was going through when she wrote this, but for me, it’s as if she knew exactly what I was going through and expressed every word so accurately in a way that I never could.
My dad loves me, but was was never good at showing it. He had a mean streak and never really took responsibility and took care of me growing up. Last year he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and moved in with me. I took care of him as if he was my child, completely dependent on me. He still could not express love or gratitude, and his mean streak got worse. I gave him some grace considering what he was going through, but it was the most stressful time of my life.
I feel like he could sing this song to me and it would make just as much sense as if I were to sing it to him.
The lyrics are on point, “it wasn’t right, but it was right on time.” I work at a cancer clinic and was able to care for him very quickly, and happened to be working from home at the time, so I was able to care for him. He would have died very quickly if this wasn’t the case.
“Either way I lose you In these silent days.” To me, this would be either to death (he is alive still thankfully) or just not ever having a good relationship because I couldn’t get him to open up to me.
“I’m scared too didn’t mean to take it out on you” and “it’s beyond your control, you know it is” reference the cancer of course.
Thankful for this song. I haven’t shared it with my dad, but maybe I will. A song hasn’t moved me this way in a very long time.

Those who say that there's no good music being made today need to look no further than Brandi Carlile.
