Maybe It's You
Love's Puzzle: Deciphering Emotions in 'Maybe It's You'
Lyrics
In the coldest night, can you feel it
In a very cold situation, are you able to perceive something?
Burning bright or do you want to?
Is something intense burning within you or do you desire it?
I'm the same as you, not quite sure
I am similar to you, uncertain
Just what to do or what to feel like
Uncertain about what actions to take or what emotions to experience
But every time I hear your name
Each time I hear your name
I wring my hands and mumble
I express nervousness by wringing my hands and mumbling
I guess I'll try and write a letter
Considering writing a letter to bid farewell and move on
Say goodbye and just forget her
Intending to say goodbye and erase thoughts of her
Ah, but you know I can't forget her 'cos
However, I can't forget her because...
Maybe it's you, maybe it's me
Possibility that the issue revolves around you or me
Maybe it's you who's always right
Suggesting it might be your correctness influencing the situation
Maybe it's me who's doing time
Implication that I might be suffering the consequences
Well you should know there's a place
A part of my heart always remains void
Inside my heart that's always empty
Although I acknowledge the situation, I sometimes wish I were unaware to ease the frustration
Oh and I'm not blind though I wish
Not oblivious to reality
I were sometimes to ease the anger
Desire to be ignorant occasionally to reduce anger
But every time I hear your name
Repetition of feeling nervous when her name is mentioned
I wring my hands and mumble
Expressing nervousness again through physical actions and speech
You know the woman drive me crazy
Her actions agitate me greatly
When she makes it seems so easy
She makes difficult things seem effortless
But you know I can't give in
Despite the difficulty, I can't surrender because...
Because
(No specific meaning in the lyrics)
Maybe it's you, maybe it's me
Reiteration of the possibility of the issue lying between you or me
Maybe it's you who's always right
Suggesting the likelihood of your correctness influencing matters
Maybe it's me who's doing time
Implies I might be bearing the consequences or punishment
Maybe it's you, maybe it's me
(Reiteration of the possibility of the issue lying between you or me)
Maybe it's you who's always right
(Reiteration of your possible correctness influencing matters)
Maybe it's me who's doing time
(Reiteration of me potentially facing consequences or punishment)
