Analysis of Maybe
Maybe I'm dreaming, maybe I'm asleep
Maybe this is just my imagination, maybe this isn't real and I'm in too deep
I feel like I'm in over my head, drowning in the thoughts of my mind
I've never felt like this before, never been so scared
Someone tell me I'm on the right path, that I'm not walking blind
Is there anyone out there, with a heart like mine that cares
Maybe there's no chance, maybe I'm alone
Maybe this life is a hopeless one, maybe I'm a lost cause
Maybe I'm supposed to wake up and face this world on my own
Is life always this desolate and cold, where is my guiding light
Where's my saving grace, the one who'll save me from this place
I've been looking so long, searching for someone to save me from this plight
Maybe you're out there, maybe we've crossed paths
Maybe I saw you in a bar, maybe I couldn't speak
Maybe serendipity is real.... Maybe... wouldn't that be a laugh
