Maybe
August Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse 1:]
Maybe if the sun was always bright
Maybe if every chance we made was right
Maybe if the world would stop so we could have more time
Maybe if the flowers always stayed
And if the colours would never fade
Maybe if the stars would always shine
You'd still be mine

[Chorus:]
Cos for us to be together
And for us to be forever
And for our two hearts to even start recovery
It would have to be
Cos we tried our hand at love
But see love just ain't enough
For you and me the world would have to be a perfect perfect perfect perfect world
Ohhh
Obviously flawless
It'd have to be a perfect world
Ohhh
It'd have to be a perfect world

[Verse 2:]
See maybe if I never had to be away
It's not like the movies... If it was I'd stay
Maybe if it didn't hurt so bad to see your face
Maybe if the clouds were never dark
It feels like we were destined to fall apart
And maybe if the road was no so long
We'd be much further

[Chorus:]

[Verse 3:]
We almost made it all the way we did
Ohhh
I really thought that you'd be the one I'd end up with
And you know...

[Chorus:]

[Outro:]

Ohhh
Ohhh

Overall Meaning

In August's song "Maybe", the lyrics express the idea of what it would take for the singer and their love interest to be together and have a happy, lasting relationship. The song talks about different scenarios that could have gone differently, like the sun always shining or the flowers never wilting, in order for everything to be perfect. However, even with a perfect world, the theme of the song is that sometimes love just isn't enough to overcome obstacles and make a relationship work.

The song starts with “Maybe if the sun was always bright” which implies that even the slightest of changes might have given the duo different outcomes. “Maybe if the world would stop so we could have more time” talks about monotonic lives, we are living on a clock, the world never stops. “Maybe if the flowers always stayed, And if the colors would never fade” signifies the fleeting nature of love and how mellifluous it can be.

The chorus brings the theme home “For our two hearts to even start recovery, It would have to be, Cos we tried our hand at love, But see, love just ain’t enough”. The singer is indicating that they tried, the relationship is not salvageable even if the world was perfect. The lyrics for August's song "Maybe" depict a relatable feeling of wanting things to work out but knowing deep down that it's not possible, no matter how perfect the world may seem.

Line by Line Meaning

Maybe if the sun was always bright
If everything was perfect all the time

Maybe if every chance we made was right
If we never made mistakes or wrong decisions

Maybe if the world would stop so we could have more time
If time could stand still so we could be together forever

Maybe if the flowers always stayed
If beautiful things never died or changed

And if the colours would never fade
If beautiful things never lost their vibrancy

Maybe if the stars would always shine
If everything was perfect all the time

You'd still be mine
We would still be together forever

Cos for us to be together
In order for us to be in a relationship

And for us to be forever
In order for our relationship to last

And for our two hearts to even start recovery
In order for us to heal from the past

It would have to be
Everything would need to be perfect

Cos we tried our hand at love
We attempted to make our relationship work

But see love just ain't enough
Love alone cannot sustain a relationship

For you and me the world would have to be a perfect perfect perfect perfect world
For our relationship to work, everything would need to be perfect all the time

See maybe if I never had to be away
If we were never separated from each other

It's not like the movies... If it was I'd stay
Real life is not always like the perfect love stories in movies

Maybe if it didn't hurt so bad to see your face
If there was no pain or heartache in our relationship

Maybe if the clouds were never dark
If there were no problems or obstacles in our relationship

It feels like we were destined to fall apart
It seems like our relationship was doomed to fail

And maybe if the road was no so long
If our relationship was easier and not so difficult

We'd be much further
Our relationship would have progressed further

We almost made it all the way we did
We came close to a successful relationship

Ohhh
An exclamation of sadness or disappointment
