Maybe
C.P.A. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm caught in a coma, daydreams about you
I'm way too dependent, she'd take me for a fool
I can't keep on staring, I've got to make a move
I fell for her manilla, I thought it was cool
No way I'd be her first one
She's locked down, I assume
Maybe I don't need love
But maybe she's my future
And it's way overdue, ah
Maybe I don't need love
Maybe I'm a fool
But maybe she's my future
And she might want it too
What, what, what
Gotta make a move (Gotta make a)
I've gotta make a move (Gotta make a)
I've gotta make a move (Got, got, got)
I've gotta make a move (Gotta make a)
I've gotta make a move (Gotta make a)
I've gotta make a move (Gotta make a)
I've gotta make a move (Got, got, got)
I've gotta make a move (Gotta make a)
I've gotta make a move (Gotta make a)
I've gotta make a move (Got, got, got)
I've gotta make a move (Gotta make a)
I've gotta make a move (Gotta make a)
I've gotta make a move (Gotta make a)
I've gotta make a move (Gotta make a)
I've gotta make a move (Gotta make a)
I've gotta make a move (Got, got, got) (Gotta make my move)
I've gotta make a move (Gotta make a)
I've gotta make a move (Gotta make a) (Yeah, yeah)
I've gotta make a move (Gotta make a)
I've gotta make a move (Got, got, got)
God will make my
Will make my move (Got, got, got)
I, I will make my move
Said, I, I (Got, got, got)
God will make my move
In C.P.A.'s song Maybe, the lyrics revolve around the singer's thoughts and experiences. The lyrics start with the singer claiming to have ten or twelve things to teach the listener before they have to figure things out on their own. They mention how this wasn't the opening line, but instead the tenth or twelfth, which adds to the mystery of the song. The use of "make of that what you will" throughout the song implies that the meaning is up to interpretation, and it's left up to the listener to unpack and interpret the lyrics.
The second verse focuses on a haunted loop of someone's fallen tears, with the singer waiting for the right words to express their thoughts. The imagery of the forehead resting on a record shelf amid moving boxes stacked suggests a sense of disorientation and disarray - perhaps implying that the singer is feeling lost or uncertain. The third verse mentions the eyes being of a color that the singer can't remember, which suggests a sense of forgetfulness or confusion. The final line emphasizes the idea that it's the devil you know that will slam the door harder - perhaps suggesting that it's easier to fall back into old habits or patterns rather than confront change head-on.
Overall, the lyrics in Maybe are open to interpretation and can be read in a variety of different ways. The use of lyrical repetition and the phrase "make of that what you will" imply that the meaning behind the lyrics is subjective and up for individual interpretation.
Line by Line Meaning
There are maybe ten or twelve
I may have about 10 or 12 things to share with you
Things I could teach you
I have some knowledge that I can impart to you
After that, well, I think you're on your own
Beyond that, you will need to figure things out yourself
And that wasn't the opening line
Just so you know, that wasn't the first line of this song
It was the tenth or the twelfth
I'm not sure, but it was probably around the tenth or twelfth line
Make of that what you will
Interpret that however you want
Once there was a haunted loop
Let me tell you a story about a spooky memory
Of your deep, fallen tears
It was a moment of sadness and despair
A forehead resting on a record shelf
Someone was resting their head on a shelf full of music
Amid moving boxes stacked
There were boxes all around, probably from moving
I'm still waiting for the right words
I haven't found the perfect things to say yet
And the eyes they were
I remember their eyes
A color I can't remember
But I can't recall the exact color
Which says more than the first two verses
This little detail speaks volumes more than what I've shared before
And it is the devil you know
Sometimes it's better to stick with what you know, even if it's not ideal
That will slam the door harder
In this case, going with the familiar may lead to a harsher outcome
Make of that what you will
Again, interpret that as you wish
Make of that what you will
Feel free to give your own meaning to all of these words
Make of that what you will
It's up to you!
