Love So Right

The speaker remembers a relationship that felt joyful, freeing, and almost perfect, then describes the shock of waking to find the woman gone. The repeated question—how could a love that seemed so right become so wrong?—shows grief and confusion. By the end, the speaker briefly considers accepting the loss and living in the present, but the repeated refrain suggests that the hurt still dominates.

Several images make the relationship feel intense but short-lived. She arrives “like the night,” suggesting a sudden, powerful presence, and her arms seem like “heaven,” a way of expressing comfort and happiness rather than a literal place. The “perfect story” that “ended at the start” captures the contrast between the speaker’s hopes for permanence and how quickly the relationship collapsed. “Take it in my stride” means to handle something difficult without letting it stop you.

The lyrics do not explain why she left or whether she might return. The speaker’s hope that she will come back sits beside a more doubtful thought: perhaps some of what they wanted was never truly there. This leaves the song between longing and a tentative effort to see the relationship more clearly. The speaker may be beginning to accept the loss, but the repeated question shows that acceptance is far from complete.
