[Verse 1]
You said
"forever"
Over diner coffee
Syrup on your thumb
You touched it to my cheek

We were half asleep
Sunday in our sneakers
Laughing at the rain
Like it could never reach us

[Chorus]
You said "forever"
Like it was a place we'd drive
Windows down
Your hand
Drawing circles in the sky
Now I'm on this highway
Counting exits
Changing weather
Feels like it was only
Forever for a minute
Forever for a minute
With you

[Verse 2]
Your jacket on my chair
Still smells like July
Sunburn on your nose
You tried to hide in every photo

I keep the porch light on
Like you just ran inside
To grab your keys
Your phone
And you'd be back in five

[Chorus]
You said "forever"
Like it was a place we'd drive
Windows down
Your hand
Drawing circles in the sky
Now I'm on this highway
Counting exits
Changing weather
Feels like it was only
Forever for a minute
Forever for a minute
With you

[Bridge]
Maybe you meant it
For who we were then
Two kids in a moment
Too big to understand
I still taste that promise
Sweet and a little bitter
I still hear you whisper
"Stay with me forever"

[Chorus]
You said "forever"
Like it was a place we'd drive
Windows down
Your hand
Drawing circles in the sky
I'm still on this highway
Same old signs
Same broken letters
Singin' it was only
Forever for a minute
Forever for a minute
But my heart's there
Forever for a minute
Forever for a minute
Forever for a minute
But my heart's there
Forever for a minute
With you (oh)
