Maybe She's Human
Unveiling Her Hidden Struggles: Maybe She's Human
Lyrics
She gets up an hour before she really wants to
She wakes up an hour earlier than desired.
Gets a half day's work done before the day begins
Accomplishes half a day's work before the official start of the day.
She makes a list of everything that everybody needs from her
Creates a list of everyone's needs from her.
And all that she did yesterday today she'll do again
Repeats the tasks from the previous day.
She goes off to her job, the school, the bank and then the store
Manages various responsibilities – job, school, bank, and shopping.
Then you're surprised 'cause she broke down as you walked in the door
Surprisingly breaks down emotionally upon your arrival.
Maybe she's human
Expresses the possibility of her being human with vulnerabilities.
Maybe she's got troubles to
Suggests that she might have her own troubles.
Maybe she could stand to get away
Implies she could benefit from a break or change.
Maybe she needs something new
Raises the idea that she needs something new in her life.
Or maybe all she needs to someone
Poses the possibility that she needs someone to understand her perspective.
Just to see her point of view...
Suggests the listener could be that someone.
Maybe that's you
Emphasizes the listener's potential role in understanding her.
After working late today, she brings in bags of groceries
After working late, she brings home groceries.
Bandages a skinned-up knee as the chicken starts to fry
Attends to various tasks, including caring for a skinned knee and cooking.
She drops a glass, the baby cries, the phone rings,
Experiences multiple challenges simultaneously – dropping a glass, baby crying, and phone ringing.
That's when you walk in unloading all your problems
You enter and share your problems and worries.
And the worries on your mind
She faces your problems and worries when you walk in.
When you mention it's your boys' night out, she tears you into shreds
When you mention a night out with friends, she reacts strongly.
And you just can't quite figure out why she gets all upset
You're puzzled by her strong reaction.
Maybe she's human
Reiterates the possibility of her being human and having emotions.
Maybe she's got troubles to
Reaffirms the idea that she may have her own troubles.
Maybe she could stand to get away
Suggests she might need a break or a change in her life.
Maybe she needs something new
Raises the possibility that she needs something new.
Or maybe all she needs to someone
Reiterates the idea that she may need someone to understand her perspective.
Just to see her point of view...
Suggests the listener could be the one to understand her point of view.
Maybe that's you
Emphasizes the listener's potential role in understanding her.
