Maybe?
The Beach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Not the needle, not the knife, but my demands will ruin my life, I broke so many hearts, blow smoke so many times, not sure if i adored you - kind of love crime, you can call me a bitch - maybe i deserve, sorry babe! but you really touched my nerve, (i’m just a) part of the generation maybe, dating app-swipe: left right left right! i’m not sure if we should still write? maybe we meet - maybe we cheat? it all seems to me like an endless repeat, call me casual, superficial above! in the end i’m just in search for the love

Line by Line Meaning

You got me calling at all hours of the night
I can't resist reaching out to you even when I know it's not healthy


I don't think it's right
I know that calling you all the time isn't the right thing to do


But still I do it
But I can't help myself from doing it


You got me thinking your existence is my life
I've become so fixated on you that it feels like my happiness depends on you


It's time to see the light
I need to wake up and see that this isn't healthy


I think I'll leave it
I think I need to move on from this obsession with you


Maybe, I don't know
I'm uncertain about what to do


I tried to take it slow
I've been trying to distance myself from you


But I don't know
But I'm still unsure


But if you say it's so
If you say that we can make it work


We can make it go
Then maybe we could give it a try


Whatever made me think that we could make it good?
I'm starting to doubt whether we ever had a chance at a healthy relationship


Did you think we ever would?
Were you ever really invested in this relationship?


No need in lyin'
There's no point in pretending that everything is okay


I need your guarantee so I can be assured
I need some reassurance that this is worth pursuing


Do you ever think you could?
Do you think that we could make it work?


No more depriving
I don't want to deny myself the opportunity for a healthy relationship anymore
