Maybe Baby
Sun-60 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was trying to fill a void
I asked him for scotch
And he gave me something to cry about
Maybe I heard him right
Maybe I heard him wrong
I let the smoke fill up my lungs
Ordered a beer
Drank up some false cheer
I was happy and so young
A stranger asked me to dance
I laughed I told him I had a broken leg
But what I really had was a broken heart
And I felt a little out of step
Well maybe I heard him right
Maybe I heard him wrong
Maybe baby
Maybe
That's what's wroooong
I rented a car for the weekend
Just to change my state of my mind
Transport something ill defined I feel too
That I wept through time
Drove down I'd forgotten the world
That I had grown some time ago
I let myself get tossed around
I had become a permanent girl
Well maybe I heard him right (maybe baby)
Maybe I heard him wrong (maybe baby)
Maybe baby
Maybe
That's what's wroooong
Well maybe I heard him right (aaaa maybe)
Maybe I heard him wrong (aaaa maybe)
Maybe baby
Maybe
That's what's wroooong, wroooong, wroooong
A stranger asked me to dance
I laughed
I told him I had a broken leg
But what I really had was a broken heart
And I felt a little out of step
Well maybe I heard him right (maybe baby)
Maybe I heard him wrong (maybe baby)
Maybe baby
Maybe
That's what's wroooong
Well maybe I get some peace of mind
And maybe I think it's love this time
Maybe baby
Maybe
That's what's wrooong, wrooong, wrooong
Lalalalalala lada lada la la lada
Maybe baby
Maybe
Maybe baby
Maybe
Maybe baby
Maybe
That's what's wrooong, wrooong
(Fading out)
Baby I get some peace of mind
And baby I think it's love this time
Maybe baby
Maybe
That's what's wrong

I found myself at a loss for words
I didn't know what to say or do
I was trying to fill a void
I was trying to fill an emptiness inside me
I asked him for scotch
I requested some alcoholic drink
And he gave me something to cry about
He did or said something that made me upset
Maybe I heard him right
Perhaps I understood him correctly
Maybe I heard him wrong
Perhaps I misunderstood him
I took myself to a club
I went to a nightclub
I let the smoke fill up my lungs
I inhaled cigarette smoke
Ordered a beer
I asked for a beer
Drank up some false cheer
I consumed alcohol to make me feel better
I was happy and so young
I was feeling youthful and joyful
A stranger asked me to dance
An unfamiliar person invited me to dance
I laughed I told him I had a broken leg
I chuckled and lied to him that I had a physical injury
But what I really had was a broken heart
What I was actually experiencing was emotional pain
And I felt a little out of step
I felt a bit disconnected and alone
I rented a car for the weekend
I hired a vehicle for a few days
Just to change my state of my mind
To alter my current mindset
Transport something ill defined I feel too
I carried something abstract that I couldn't clearly define
That I wept through time
That made me cry as time passed
Drove down I'd forgotten the world
I drove while forgetting everything around me
That I had grown some time ago
Something from my past that I had outgrown
I let myself get tossed around
I allowed myself to be thrown around
I had become a permanent girl
I had developed a permanent sense of femininity
Maybe I get some peace of mind
Perhaps I will get some rest or calmness
And maybe I think it's love this time
And maybe I believe that I have found love this time
That's what's wroooong
That's the issue or problem
