Lyrics
Verse 1
Woke up with your words replaying in my mind
Tried to brush it off but they're not far behind
Coffee getting cold, and I'm running late again
Scrolling through the moments that we used to spend
Pre-Chorus
Maybe I just need some distance
To figure out what I'm missing
You think it's easy for me
But let me breathe, just let me be
Chorus
Maybe later I'll call you back
Just not right now, I'm lost in my tracks
Maybe I'll say what I wanna say
But maybe later—not today
Post-Chorus
Ohh oh, maybe later
Ohh oh, maybe later
Verse 2
Your message on my screen, keeps flashing up my name
I tell myself it's fine, but it never feels the same
I leave it on read, my head's a little crowded
You say you need a sign, but I'm so surrounded
Pre-Chorus
Maybe I need another minute
To sort out what I'm feeling
You think that I'm indifferent
But my heart's not done healing
Chorus
Maybe later I'll call you back
Just not right now, I'm lost in my tracks
Maybe I'll say what I wanna say
But maybe later—not today
Post-Chorus
Ohh oh, maybe later
Ohh oh, maybe later
Bridge
I know you're waiting for a reason
Wonder if I'm just passing seasons
I'm trying to find the answers
Caught in all these shadows and dancers
Verse 3
Called you at a quarter past eleven
Voice was shaking but I didn't stop, no
Said the things I'd kept inside for ages
Every word came out a little softer
Pre-Chorus
You don't have to say it back
Just needed you to hear that
I was never gone for good
I was just misunderstood
Chorus
Maybe later came and went so fast
Now I'm standing here, no holding back
Everything I wanted you to know
Is out there now, I let it go
Post-Chorus
Ohh oh, I let it go
Ohh oh, I let it go
Drop
Later, later, later, now
Later, later, later, now
Say it out, say it loud
Later turned to now somehow
Later, later, later, now
Later, later, later, now
Verse 4
Sunlight through the blinds, a different morning
Phone is on the bed, no second warning
Read your name and didn't feel the panic
Just a little calm, a little static
Pre-Chorus
Maybe I was overthinking
Every single word you're sending
Now it's quiet in my chest
And I finally get some rest
Chorus
Maybe later came and went so fast
Now I'm standing here, no holding back
Everything I wanted you to know
Is out there now, I let it go
Post-Chorus
Ohh oh, I let it go
Ohh oh, I let it go
Bridge 2
I don't need an answer right away
I just needed room to find my way
If you're still there when the morning's new
Maybe later, I'll be there too
Final Chorus
Maybe later turned into today
And I'm not running, not afraid
Everything I couldn't say before
Is at your door, is at your door
Post-Chorus
Ohh oh, at your door
Ohh oh, at your door
Outro
Maybe later
Maybe later
Maybe now
Maybe now
