Lyrics
Your coffee cup is on the dashboard
Your jacket’s hanging by the door
You said you came to get your records
But you’ve said that twice before
The landlord changed the hallway lightbulb
The diner closed at ten
Nothing much has changed around here
Except you’re back again
You say you’re only passing through
I say that’s what you always do
Maybe, maybe not
Maybe we’re finished, maybe we forgot
Maybe this old flame
Still burns a little hotter than we thought
Maybe you’ll leave
Maybe you’ll stay till the morning gets caught
Maybe this is goodbye
Maybe, maybe not
Your brother says you found somebody
Your mother says you’re doing fine
The whole town knows a different story
Depending on the day and time
You ask me if I fixed the Chevy
I ask you where you’ve been
We talk around the only question
Neither one will let begin
You say there’s nothing left to prove
But you still haven’t made a move
Maybe, maybe not
Maybe we’re finished, maybe we forgot
Maybe this old flame
Still burns a little hotter than we thought
Maybe you’ll leave
Maybe you’ll stay till the morning gets caught
Maybe this is goodbye
Maybe, maybe not
We were never good at endings
We were better making noise
You were always half a woman gone
I was half a stubborn boy
Now the highway’s wet and shining
And your suitcase weighs a lot
You can tell me that it’s over
But maybe, maybe not
Maybe, maybe not
Maybe we’re wiser, maybe we’re not
Maybe all these years
Were more than just the chances that we lost
Maybe you’ll leave
Maybe you’ll turn that old key in the lock
Maybe this is goodbye
Maybe, maybe not
Your coffee cup is on the dashboard
Your jacket’s still inside
You’re standing halfway to your car now
Like you haven’t quite decided
Maybe…
Maybe not.
