Only Forever Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
'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

Genius Annotation

“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.
