LyricMeaning

Maybe (Next To Normal)
Alice Ripley

Maybe I've lost it at last

Maybe my last lucid moment has passed

I'm dancing with death, I suppose

But really who knows?


Could be I'm crazy to go

They say you should stay with the devil you know

But when life needs a change and the one devil won't

You fly to the devil, you don't


Maybe I'm tired of the game

Of coming up short of the rules of the shame

And maybe you feel that way too

I see me in you


A girl full of anger and hope

A girl with a mother who just couldn't cope

A girl who felt caught and thought no one could see

That maybe one day she'll be free


It's so lovely that you're sharing

No really I'm all ears

But where has all this caring been for sixteen years?

For all those years I'd prayed that you'd go away for good


Half the time afraid that you really would

When I thought you might be dying

I cried for all we've never be

But there'll be no more crying, not for me


Things will get better you'll see

Not for me, you'll see

Not for me, you'll see

Not for me, you'll see

Not for me, you'll see


Maybe we can't be okay

But maybe we're tough and we'll try anyway

We'll live with what's real

Let go of what's passed and maybe I'll see you at last


We tried to give you a normal life

I realize now I have no clue what that is

I don't need a life that's normal, that's way too far away

But something next to normal would be okay


Yeah, something next to normal

That's the thing I'd like to try

Close enough to normal to get by

We'll get by, we'll get by
