Maybe
Yearning Echoes: Bobby Pedrick's Heartfelt Plea in 'Maybe'
Lyrics
Maybe
Expressing uncertainty or possibility.
Oh if I could pray and I try, dear
Yearning to communicate through prayer, seeking a return.
You might come back home, home to me
Desiring the person to come back home.
Maybe
Reiteration of uncertainty and hope.
Whoa, if I could ever hold your little hand
Expressing a desire to hold the person's hand.
Oh you might understand
Hoping for understanding through physical closeness.
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah
Repeated expression of uncertainty and hope.
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe dear
Reiteration of uncertainty, endearment, and self-reflection.
I guess I might have done something wrong
Acknowledging the possibility of a mistake.
Honey I'd be glad to admit it
Willingness to admit wrongdoing.
Oh, come on home to me!
Inviting the person to come back home.
Honey maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe yeah
Repetition of uncertainty and hope.
Well I know that it just doesn't ever seem to matter, baby
Expressing frustration that actions seem insignificant to the person.
Oh honey, when I go out or what I'm trying to do
Highlighting the lack of impact when going out.
Can't you see I'm still left here
Feeling left behind while still holding on.
And I'm holding on in needing you
Expressing a need for the person.
Please, please, please, please
Begging for reconsideration.
Oh won't you reconsider babe
Asking the person to think again.
Now come on, I said come back
Requesting the person to come back.
Won't you come back to me!
Reiterating the desire for the person's return.
Maybe dear, oh maybe, maybe, maybe
Repetition of uncertainty and hope with endearment.
Let me help you show me how
Offering assistance and a plea for connection.
Honey, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe
Repetition of uncertainty and hope with endearment.
Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah
Continued expression of uncertainty and hope.
Maybe, maybe, maybe, yeah
Reiteration of uncertainty and hope.
Ooh!
An exclamation, perhaps expressing emotion or desperation.
