Maybe
Navigating Dreams and Reality: alone@home's 'Maybe' Unveiled
Lyrics
Scrolling down my feed
Expressing the act of browsing through social media content.
Filtered photos on my screen
Referring to edited images displayed on the device.
I'm reminded of the places that I'm not
Feeling a sense of exclusion from certain places.
And I've got you on my phone
Having the person of interest accessible on the phone.
Thinking maybe when I'm home
Contemplating the possibility of finding desired outcomes at home.
I will find that what I'm hoping for comes true
Hopeful anticipation that what is desired will be realized.
The way you talk to me
Highlighting the impact of communication style.
Has got me thinking maybe
Contemplating possibilities prompted by the way the person talks.
Maybe in a month
Considering a potential development in a month.
Or maybe in a year or two
Expanding the timeframe to a year or two for potential outcomes.
Or maybe not at all
Acknowledging the uncertainty of the relationship's future.
We will become
Pondering the nature of the relationship yet to be defined.
Maybe in a month
Repeating the consideration of potential outcomes in a month.
Or maybe in a year or two
Reiterating the possibility over a longer timeframe.
Or maybe not at all
Emphasizing the uncertainty of whether a connection will form.
We will become
Repeating the idea of an uncertain future for the relationship.
Asleep when you're awake
Describing a time difference in sleep-wake patterns.
And I'm dreaming of the day
Dreaming about a future day while the other is asleep.
When I dig a hole to Lansing from Hanoi
Imagining a metaphorical journey from one place to another.
Some romantic comedy
Referencing a romantic movie scenario on the computer screen.
Is filling my computer screen
Visualizing a cinematic experience while online.
And every time Meg Ryan speaks
Connecting the partner's face to a movie character (Meg Ryan).
Your face is all I see
Highlighting the persistent influence of the person on thoughts.
And still you talk to me
Despite the distance, the person continues to communicate.
And keep me thinking maybe
Expressing that ongoing communication fuels continued hope.
Maybe in a month
Repeating the contemplation of potential outcomes in a month.
Or maybe in a year or two
Reiterating the consideration over a longer timeframe.
Or maybe not at all
Stressing the uncertainty of whether a connection will form.
We will become
Repeating the idea of an uncertain future for the relationship.
Maybe in a month
Once again considering potential developments in a month.
Or maybe in a year or two
Extending the timeframe to a year or two for potential outcomes.
Or maybe not at all
Reiterating the uncertainty of whether a connection will form.
We will become
Emphasizing the uncertain nature of the relationship's future.
Maybe in a month
Repeating the consideration of potential outcomes in a month.
We will become
Concluding with a repetition of the contemplation of becoming.
