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
