Maybe It's All Over
The Busters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

maybe it’s all over
before it has begun
and i won’t think about it
enjoy the moments the way they come

you can really call it bad times what i’ve been through
my home was my castle and my jail, too
i’m not half the man that i used to be
afraid to open the mail that you sent to me

but now i see the sun rising in your eyes
darkness seems to be so far away from me
now i know that i could ride again
and i won’t be alone on my way and then

maybe it’s all over
before it has begun
and i won’t think about it
enjoy the moments the way they come

maybe it’s all over
before it has begun
and i won’t think about it
enjoy the moments the way they come

people may say: stay away from that guy
he brings you down before you realize
and i made some mistakes
but for the things that i did
i’m as pure as some big cities snow

maybe it’s all over
before it has begun
and i won’t think about it
enjoy the moments the way they come

maybe it’s all over
before it has begun
and i won’t think about it
enjoy the moments the way they come

people may say: stay away from that guy
he brings you down before you realize
and i made some mistakes
but for the things that i did
i’m as pure as some big cities snow

maybe it’s all over
before it has begun
and i won’t think about it
enjoy the moments the way they come

maybe it’s all over
before it has begun
and i won’t think about it
enjoy the moments the way they come

maybe it’s all over
before it has begun
and i won’t think about it
enjoy the moments the way they come

maybe it’s all over
before it has begun
and i won’t think about it
enjoy the moments the way they come

maybe it’s all over
before it has begun
and i won’t think about it
enjoy the moments the way they come

baby it’s all over
before it has begun
and i won’t think about it
enjoy the moments the way they come

baby it’s all over
before it has begun
and i won’t think about it
enjoy the moments the way they come

maybe it’s all over
before it has begun




and i won’t think about it
enjoy the moments the way they come
