Maybe
Alina Baraz feat. Galimatias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What do I do when there's too much of me, too little of you?
What can I say when I know you're not here to stay?
I can't explain something I don't understand
Why did I let this get out of hand?

Maybe I'll get you out of my head
Maybe I'll forget all the things you said
Lies on your lips, but there's love in your eyes
Maybe I'll forget you some other time

Why do I let you cross the line every time?
Why do I stay if I know you're not mine?
Right on your skin, I know that love used to glow
How can I let you go if I know I'm so close?

Maybe I'll get you out of my head
Maybe I'll forget all the things you said
Lies on your lips, but there's love in your eyes
Maybe I'll forget you some other time

Maybe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alina Baraz & Galimatias's song, "Maybe," describe a situation where the singer is struggling to come to terms with their feelings for someone who they know is not going to be with them in the long term. The lyrics express the internal conflict between letting go of someone who they have strong feelings for and holding on to the possibility that maybe things could work between them in the future. The opening lines, "What do I do when there's too much of me, too little of you? What can I say when I know you're not here to stay?" illustrate how the singer feels like they are investing more in the relationship than the other person is. They struggle with understanding their own feelings, "I can't explain something I don't understand. Why did I let this get out of hand?"


The chorus, "Maybe I'll get you out of my head. Maybe I'll forget all the things you said. Lies on your lips, but there's love in your eyes. Maybe I'll forget you, some other time," further highlights the singer's internal struggles. They acknowledge that the person they are attracted to is not truthful in their intentions, but they still cannot stop themselves from feeling attracted to them. They hope that with time, they can move on from the relationship, but they know that it won't be easy.


Overall, the song captures the essence of what it feels like to be in a complicated relationship. It conveys the complex emotions and thought processes that individuals go through when they are involved with someone they know they shouldn't be with.

What do I do when there's too much of me, too little of you?
What can I say when I know you're not here to stay?
I can't explain something I don't understand.
Why did I let this get out of hand?

Maybe I'll get you out of my head
Maybe I'll forget all the things you said
Lies on your lips, but there's love in your eyes
Maybe I'll forget you some other time

Why do I let you cross the line every time?
Why do I stay if I know you're not mine?
Ride on your skin, I know that love used to glow
How can I let you go if I know I'm so close?

Maybe I'll get you out of my head
Maybe I'll forget all the things you said
Lies on your lips, but there's love in your eyes
Maybe I'll forget you some other time



@sibihontas

This is my jam in Sunday nights... Loved this song.

What do I do when there's too much of me, too little of you
What can I say when I now you're not here to stay
 I can't explain something I dont understand...
Why this I let this get out of hand
Baby I'll get you out of my head
Maybe I'll focus all the things that you say
Lies on your lips, but there's love in your eyes
Maybe I'll forget you some other time
Why do I let you close the line. Everytime.
Why do I stay, If I know you're not mine
Right on your skin, I know that low used to close
How can I let you go If I know I'm so close
Maybe, I'll get you out of my head

Maybe I'll focus I'll the things that you say
Lies on your lips, but there's love in your eyes
Maybe I'll forget you some other time...
