[Verse 1: Colbie Caillat, Mitchell Tenpenny]
Take time to realize
That your warmth is crashing down on in
And take time to realize
That I am on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you?
[Pre-Chorus: Colbie Caillat, Both, Mitchell Tenpenny]
But I can't spell it out for you
No, it's never gonna be that simple
No, I can't spell it out for you
[Chorus: Both, Colbie Caillat]
If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
We'll never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if we missed out on each other now
Yeah
[Verse 2: Mitchell Tenpenny, Colbie Caillat]
Take time to realize
Oh-oh, I'm on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you? Oh
Take time to realize (Take time to realize)
This all can pass you by
Didn't I tell you? (Didn't I tell you? Oh)
[Pre-Chorus: Mitchell Tenpenny, Colbie Caillat]
But I can't spell it out for you
No, it's never gonna be that simple
No, I can't spell it out for you, no
[Chorus: Both, Colbie Caillat]
If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
We'll never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if we missed out on each other, but
[Bridge: Colbie Caillat, Mitchell Tenpenny]
It's not the same (Oh, it's not the same)
No, it's never the same (No, it's never the same)
If you don't feel it too (If you don't feel it too)
If you meet me halfway (If you meet me halfway)
If you would meet me halfway (If you meet me halfway)
It could be the same for you
[Chorus: Both, Colbie Cailla, Mitchell Tenpenny]
If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
We'll never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder (Oh no)
[Post-Chorus: Colbie Caillat, Mitchell Tenpenny, Both]
Realize
Realize
Realize
Realize
Realize
Realize (Oh)
If you just realize what I just realized
If you just realize what I just realized
[Outro: Colbie Caillat, Mitchell Tenpenny, Both]
(Ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
But I'm realizing now, no
(Ooh-oh, ooh-oh) Oh, oh
If you just realize (Baby)
Realize (If you just)
Realize (If you just)
Realize (If you just realize)
Realize (If you just)
Realize (If you just)
Realize (If you just realize, baby)
Realize (If you just)
Realize (If you just, realize)
Realize (If you just)
Realize (If you just)
Realize (If you just, realize)
(If you just realize)

Colbie Caillat:
It’s something I’ve been wanting to do forever. It just took me a while to get around to it and to also find the right duet partner. Mitchell Tenpenny actually asked me to sing on one of his songs (‘Guess We’ll Never Know’), and I was going to ask him the very next day to sing on ‘R...
We wanted the music video to be simple and understated and moody mystical in a way. We let the song just get to be heard.
