Maybe Someday
Alexis Strum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And most my nights dreaming about you
I can't let go and take it easy
How do you know the buttons to push?
I am so hung up on you
I don't know what to do
Maybe someday I'll get you off my mind
Find the right way to get on with my life
Like a mother to a child
Maybe someday, I'll let it slide
I've got to find something to pass my time
'Cause you are all that's keeping me alive
I know I should be over you
There's nothing I can do
Maybe someday I'll get you off my mind
Find the right way to get on with my life
Hang on to the thought of you
Like a mother to a child
Maybe someday, I'll let it slide
Let it slide
Let it slide
Let it slide
Let it slide
In Alexis Strum's song Maybe Someday, the singer is struggling to let go of someone who has a hold on her heart. The lyrics express her inability to get over this person and the extent to which they consume her thoughts and dreams, making it difficult for her to move on. She acknowledges that she should be able to let go and find a way to get on with her life, but is unable to do so. The chorus features the juxtaposition of her desire to let go of this person with her fear of losing them entirely. The line "hang on to the thought of you like a mother to a child" highlights the emotional attachment that the singer has towards this person and their significance in her life.
The lyrics suggest a complex and emotional relationship between the two individuals, with the singer struggling to come to terms with the feelings that they have for each other. The song captures the sentiment of being stuck in a hopeless situation, where rationality and logic fail to triumph over emotions. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced a difficult relationship or found it hard to let go of someone they love.
