Forever’s Maybe

(hmmm-mm) Twenty floors above the avenue

The glass reflects a colder view

The bartender down at the bar downstairs

Knows exactly how I'm losing sleep

Said 'forever' like a promise she could keep

But I know that means 'maybe' when she stares

(yeah) I've got this screenshot in my phone

That I should probably delete Sitting in this hotel suite alone

Keeping secrets under rumpled sheets

And you said forever

But you meant maybe

Still holding my breath while the city sleeps

Yeah, you said forever

But you meant maybe

And that screenshot's a promise I shouldn't keep

Room service

cart is getting cold

Another story we left half-told

Your picture glows against the dark

No trace left of the spark

(just a ghost inside

my hand)

And you said forever

But you meant maybe

Still holding my breath while the city sleeps

Yeah, you

said forever

But you meant maybe And that screenshot's a promise I shouldn't keep

Delete it

(delete it) Just a memory in the air
