Lyrics[]
Scarlett:
I There’s no music, no confetti
Crowds don’t cheer, and bells don’t ring
but you’ll know it, I can guarantee
when the right one comes along
Scarlett and Gunnar:
What they’re thinkin’, what you’re feelin,
Scarlett:
You no longer have to guess
Scarlett and Gunnar:
All those questions are (Scarlett: finally) put to rest
When the right one comes along
Every single broken heart will lead you to the truth
Scarlett:
you think you know what you’re lookin for
til what you’re lookin for finds you
In a cold world, it’s a warm place
where you know that you’re supposed to be
Scarlett and Gunnar:
A million moments full of sweet relief
when the right one comes along
Every single broken heart will lead you to the truth'
(Scarlett: you) think you know what you’re lookin’ for'
(Scarlett: till) what you’re lookin’ for finds you
Scarlett:
It’s so easy, nothin’ to it
though you may not believe me now
But I promise , honey, (with Gunnar: you’ll find out)
Scarlett and Gunnar:
When the right one comes along
All that changes is only everything
(Scarlett: When) the right one comes along

Gunnar:
There’s no music, no confetti
Crowds don’t cheer, and bells don’t ring
but you’ll know it, I can guarantee
when the right one comes along
What they’re thinkin’, what you’re feelin,
You no longer have to guess
All those questions are finally put to rest
When the right one comes along
Every single broken heart will lead you to the truth
you think you know what you’re lookin for
til what you’re lookin for finds you
In a cold world, it’s a warm place
where you know you’re supposed to be
A million moments full of sweet relief
when the right one comes along
Every single broken heart will lead you to the truth
you think you know what you’re lookin’ for
til what you’re lookin’ for finds you
It’s so easy, nothin’ to it
though you may not believe me now
But I promise that you’ll find out
When the right one comes along
All that changes is only everything
when the right one comes along
