Cover art for This Time lyrics by Carrie Underwood

Maybe it's the way that the stars are aligned That's makin' me feel this way tonight Maybe it's the words you left unsaid Maybe it's the stardust in my hand

It seems like he has feelings for her, or perhaps she's just interpreting things that way because she's feeling different tonight for whatever reason.

But I wanna tell ya That my heart is burstin' at the seams, yeah and I can't wait another minute Life is short, love is sweet Ain't no time like this time baby

Perhaps she's just realised she has feelings for him and wants to take that step-- voicing her feelings. Romance is all about timing, after all.

Maybe it's the way that the night is still Or the sound of the rain on my windowsill That's making all the pieces fit Makin' it all make perfect sense

It all seems obvious, now. They were meant to be together. She feels a swell of emotions and thoughts spin around in her head. She wants to run to him right now. She might miss her window if she doesn't seize the moment.
