About this track
FOREVER FOUND ME LATE Written By: Cody Lynn and Frederick Rice A White Widow Production INTRO VERSE 1 I shook hands with the devil somewhere just south of being saved Spent my whole twenties lightin’ matches turning smoke into great big flames Had a thousand almost-always and a fistful full of goodbye songs Yeah, I got real good at leaving before I could stay too long PRE-CHORUS Then you showed up outta nowhere like mercy in a denim blue Every road I kept on runnin’ always circled back to you CHORUS ’Cause forever ain’t a diamond or a preacher’s perfect vow It’s you tracing all my broken pieces still somehow making sense right now It’s your name inside my midnight your laugh inside this house It’s knowing if the whole world falls down we still won’t walk out I spent half my life a drifter half convinced love don’t stay Then you looked at me like home does and forever found me late VERSE 2 You don’t love me like a savior you don’t worship what I ain’t You just hold me when I’m restless and pull me back when I break You know every ghost that haunts me every bridge I burned in pride Still you walk into the wreckage and sit down by my side PRE-CHORUS Everybody talks of soulmates like they fall down from the sky But maybe love’s just damaged hearts deciding not to say goodbye CHORUS ’Cause forever ain’t a diamond or a preacher’s perfect vow It’s you tracing every scar I tried to keep buried in me now It’s your name inside my midnight your laugh inside this house It’s knowing when the whole world caves we still can’t walk out BRIDGE Maybe forever gets made in quiet moments we waste Barefoot dancing in the kitchen tired eyes and smiling face It’s your hand reaching for mine every night before we sleep Like somehow all your running finally ran out of me FINAL CHORUS Yeah forever ain’t a fairytale it ain’t clean and it ain’t kind It’s scars and smoke and second chances choosing love every time It’s your name inside my midnight your laugh inside this house And if the whole world disappears you’re the one I’m holding now And if I leave this world tomorrow there’s one truth I’ll carry straight I was lost for a long, long time till your forever found me late
