What "Eri solo da incontrare" means

A warm Italian pop love song about being glad a late train made two people cross paths at the same station. The narrator sees their meeting as a perfect intersection, like clock hands aligning, and says the wait was worth it. The mood is tender and hopeful, set against a hurried, cynical world where the best things take time. Trains, summers and sleepless nights are the imagery.

Menomale che il mio treno non era puntuale
Thank goodness my train wasn't running on time
Come quelli che prendi in Giappone
Like the ones you catch in Japan
Che un ritardo ci ha fatti trovare
Because a delay made us find each other
Alla stessa stazione
Right at the exact same station
