Only Forever Lyrics
I've been thinking 'bout the future
And I've been thinking 'bout the now
I know we're gonna be together
I just don't know how
[Pre-Chorus]
You know when we get close
Can't deny the tension between us both
And I don't wanna pressure you, but I think you need to make a move
[Chorus]
I've been waiting (I've been waiting)
And I'll keep waiting (And I'll keep waiting)
Only forever, only forever, only forever, only forever
Only forever, only forever, only forever, only forever
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I can tell that you're terrified to take a shot this strong
Should I wait up for you day and night?
Just let me know how long
[Pre-Chorus]
You know when we get close
Can't deny the tension between us both
And I don't wanna pressure you, but I think you need to make a move
'Cause I've been waiting (I've been waiting)
And I'll keep waiting (I'll keep waiting)
Only forever, only forever, only forever, only forever
Only forever, only forever, only forever, only forever
[Bridge]
What if I told you it's too late?
What if I say that I can't wait?
What if I meet somebody else who doesn't leave me on a shelf?
I'll give you one more chance, but it only lasts
[Chorus]
Only forever, only forever, only forever, only forever
Only forever, only forever, only forever, only forever
About
“Only Forever” is about wanting the person you want to explore a new relationship with to make that first move or take that next step. The track flows like a melancholic ballad with Lovato’s vocals echoing over minimal bassline.
The song almost acts like a sequel to “Ruin The Friendship”.
Since Demi said that “Ruin The Friendship” isn’t about Wilmer, a lot of fans think “Only Forever” is also about Nick Jonas, especially ‘cause of the “Future Now Tour” reference on the first two lines. They also sang a duet of Nick’s song “Close” on the tour that is in the pre-chorus of this song.
