Maybe I Will Maybe I Won't
The Young Veins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I will, maybe I won't

I don't wanna find my home
Just wonder what happened to it
My hands are cotton stones
Who stole all my bones?

All my forgotten poems
Are a joke
What do I know, baby wood rose
Doesn't it show?
People get old when they're alone

Maybe I will, maybe I won't

Seven days over the sea shells
Sunk so many leagues,
Will you come visit me?
Finally finding sleep,
We'll swin around in dreams,
Stay afloat

Maybe we will
Maybe we won't.
Doesn't it show?
People get old when they're alone

Maybe I will, maybe I won't
Maybe I will, maybe I won't

The weather is impeccable
Riding to a festival,
When suddenly it's gray

Do not be afraid,
For the wind it doesn't stay
It blows and goes away
It blows and goes
But never shows its face

Doesn't it show,
People get old when they're alone
What do I know maybe I will, maybe I won't

Maybe I will, maybe I won't (maybe I will, maybe I won't)




Maybe I will, maybe I won't (maybe I will, maybe I won't)
Maybe I will, maybe I won't (maybe I will, maybe I won't)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Young Veins's song "Maybe I Will Maybe I Won't" reveal a sense of uncertainty and confusion. The singer seems lost and unable to find their way back to their home. They wonder what has happened to it and express a feeling of detachment from their surroundings, as if their hands are "cotton stones" and someone has "stolen all their bones." The singer's forgotten poems are now a joke to them, and they seem to question their own knowledge and abilities. All this seems to be making the singer feel old and lonely.


The second verse of the song introduces a new character, through the lines "Seven days over the sea shells/ Sunk so many leagues/ Will you come visit me?" Here, the singer seems to be longing for someone to come visit them, someone to keep them company and take them away from their lonely state. The idea of dreaming together seems to be comforting, as they imagine swimming around in their dreams, staying afloat. However, the singer's uncertainty continues, as they question whether this person will actually come to visit them or not.


In the final verse, there is a sudden shift in mood as the weather changes from impeccable to gray. The singer encourages themselves to not be afraid of the wind and its transient nature, as it blows and goes away without showing its face. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for life and the changes that come with it, encouraging the singer to embrace the unpredictable nature of life. Overall, the song is a reflection of the uncertainty and loneliness that comes with growing up, as well as the hope and longing for connection.
