Maybe

Maybe later

When the sun goes down and

it's darker outside

Then maybe I'll be ok

Maybe when it's warmer and

Winter goes away and

All the birds leave

By then I'll be fixed

Maybe when I feel better and

My head stops hurting and

My hands stop shaking

I'll definitely be perfect by then

Maybe when I'm not so tired and

Want to get out of bed

Maybe when I weigh less and

My clothes fit

Only a little longer

Maybe when the pain is gone and

I stop second guessing

I'll be normal then

But maybe is never the church bells that ring on the hour

And it's never the waves that come crashing in for tides

But maybe is always tomorrow on the night that you can't sleep

And maybe is in five minutes on a clock all out of battery

Maybe is the girl alone on the seesaw

And maybe is the boy stuck on the monkey bars who's too afraid to fall

But soon when the clock starts ticking and the boy finally

decides to let go,

Soon, I'll be ok
