Kinda Wanna
Maxine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I feel Im not enough
When all my friends and I are losing touch
They got a stable life outta town while I am stuck
Is it me or feelings acting up?

I can decide
Change up my mind
Then get away with it
Oooh I

Taking my time
Till the end of it
Oooh I
Make mistake
Still get away with it
I get away with it

I think I overthink too much
and look at me I do it again
Even tho I'm all grown up
Don't think that I've changed that much

I'm doing things that don't make sense
I'm probably gonna do it again
Even tho I'm all grown up
I Don't think that I've changed that much

I like it when my life's a mess
If it means I've tried without having regrets
Better remind myself, cause I always forget
That at least Im happy When I go to bed

I can decide
Change up my mind
Then get away with it
Oooh I
Taking my time
Till the end of it
Oooh I
Make mistake
Still get away with it
I get away with it

I think I overthink too much
And look at me I do it again
Even tho I'm all grown up
Don't think that I've changed that much

I'm doing things that don't make sense
I'm probably gonna do it again
Even tho I'm all grown up
Don't think that I've changed that much

Kinda, wanna, should I stop?
Kinda, wanna, maybe not
Kinda, wanna, should I stop?
Kinda, wanna, maybe not

Probably get a job till 5 in the evening
But that wouldn't make me happy at all
Probably have my thoughts all up to the ceiling
When I ask myself what's the point of it all?
Kinda, wanna

I think I overthink too much
And look at me I do it again
Even tho I'm all grown up
Don't think that I've changed that much

I'm doing things that don't make sense
I'm probably gonna do it again
Even tho I'm all grown up
Don't think that I've changed that much

Kinda, wanna, should I stop?
Kinda, wanna, maybe not




Kinda, wanna, should I stop?
Kinda, wanna, maybe not

Overall Meaning

Maxine's "Kinda Wanna" is a song about the struggles of growing up and the uncertainty that comes along with it. It explores the theme of self-doubt and the fear of making mistakes. The lyrics reflect on the idea of feeling left behind while friends seem to have everything figured out. The first verse talks about the feeling of being stuck and the possibility of being the only one feeling that way. The chorus expresses the freedom of making decisions but also the fear of consequences, that sometimes it's better to take your time and make mistakes than to rush into a decision you might regret. The second verse is a reflection on how although a person may grow older, they may not necessarily change the way they think – their tendencies and habits might stay the same. The bridge talks about the conflicting emotions of wanting to do something different with one's life, but also feeling the need to conform to societal expectations. The song's conclusion suggests that one doesn't have to have everything figured out, and it's okay to be uncertain and express doubt.


Overall, "Kinda Wanna" by Maxine is a relatable anthem that captures the feelings of self-doubt and uncertainty that come with growing up.
