Could Be Forever Lyrics by Joshua Idehen

Mum Does the Washing EP

2024

[Verse 1]
Hold the elevator for the older
I live three floors up, he's one over
First order of business
How's the knees, sir, how the missus?
Hard on the bend, my lad, but they still go the distance
Nobody tell you true love comes with a cost
My darling has the wanderlust
Itchy feet her head's gone soft
Goes for a little wander gets lost
Phone on standby
But will she remember to call
She saw our eldest daughter
Her face she couldn't recall
The leaves fell harder that autumn
But every so often, she returns
Her face alight with a smile
She takes my hand, says I might be gone for a while
When will you go, I ask her, when will you come back
[Chorus]
(Any moment now)
She takes my hands she holds them warm
(Maybe tomorrow)
She pulls me in and holds me close
(Could be forever, yeah)
How long we stay like that, who knows
(Could be forever, yeah)
How long we stay like that, who knows
[Verse 2]
Always show love to the elders
Whether they're your parents, aunts or toilet attendants
Last one in particular
We met some-time one cold December
At hootenanny's corner where he laid out his wares
Colognes, Chupa Chups and Trojans if you dare
He's from in my hometown, Benin City
And over there, my man's a dentist
Here in London
Got no papers to make real paper
And ends need meeting
Every hour I give some cheer
All I get cold pity, sneers and jeers
But that's ok, 'cause in my mind, sky's all clear
I'm holding hands with all my daughters
New school uniform looking gorgeous
Some drunken random asks when you going back?
My eldest asks when I'm coming home
[Chorus]
(Any moment now)
(Maybe tomorrow)
(Could be forever, yeah)
(Could be forever, yeah)
(Any moment now)
She takes my hands she holds them warm
(Maybe tomorrow)
She pulls me in and holds me close
(Could be forever, yeah)
How long we stay like that, who knows
(Could be forever, yeah)
How long we stay like that, who knows
[Outro]
(Could be forever)
(Could be forever)
