Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe someday Oh yeah!
We've been runnin' after Hope, and livin' on a prayer, Oh Yeah!
There's a sign in the road, say's we're going nowhere, Oh Yeah!
We gotta get away, get away from here, Oh Yeah!
Maybe someday, we'll find our way!
Hey baby I gotta tell ya', there's not much left of me.
And maybe I'm kind of twisted, but maybe there's nothin' pure,(nothin'Pure!)
But if you come with me, maybe we can find what we're lookin' for, Oh Yeah!
There's a sign in the road, say's we're going nowhere, Oh Yeah!
Maybe someday, we'll find ourselves away!
Well baby, you know I come from nowhere!
Yeah you know it baby!
And yeah baby, I know that you don't care (you don't care nuthin' 'bout me!)
I've searched this cruel, cold, world for so many years...
And I been runnin' after Hope, and livin' on a prayer.
The sign in the road says we're goin' nowhere.
I gotta get away, get away from here...
Maybe someday I'll find a way!
Wait...up!
If I hold out my hand, will you take it from me?
If I open my heart, will you help me to see... (help me to see) again?
I lost my heart, and soul so many years ago, Oh Yeah! (I've...
...been runnin' after Hope, and livin' on a prayer.
The sign in the road says we're goin' nowhere. (Oh Yeah!)
I gotta get away, get away from here...
Maybe someday? (I'll find what I'm lookin' for!)
Maybe someday? (I'll find a better way!)
Someday!!
Maybe baby! (We'll find a way outta'here!)
Someday? Someway?
The sign in the road says we're goin' nowhere,Oh Yeah!
Someday? Someway?
Maybe someday we'll find our way!
Someday? Someway? Someday?
Maybe someday we'll find our way, Yeah!
Yeah!
Maybe someday, Oh Yeah!
The sign in the road says we're goin' nowhere,Oh Yeah!
We're going nowhere, we're going nowhere, Oh Yeah!
