"Maybe" by Emily Hearn

Maybe if I was bolder
I could tell you how I really feel
'Stead of sittin' here staring at you
Through the gaps in my greasy hair
Thinkin' of things I could say
To make myself look more interesting
But not saying them at all
And come across as quite boring

I can't stop my thinkin' of you
And it's driving me nuts
Like these thoughts seem to do

Maybe if I was flirtier
I would know the right things to do
Making eyes across the room
And draw you in 'til I'm next to you
Flip my hair this way and that way
Playin' games, tryin' to read your mind
But I hate games, I don't need them
I don't want drama in my life


I can't stop my thinkin' of you
And it's driving me nuts
Like these thoughts seem to do

Maybe if I was thinner
You'd think I was beautiful
And you'd want me, no you'd need me
And it'd feel so incredible
So I watch the things I eat
And wake up early to exercise
And I wonder when I'm with you
If I've done somethin' to catch your eye


I can't stop my thinkin' of you
And it's driving me nuts
Like these thoughts seem to do

Maybe if I was funnier
I could make you almost wet your pants
And you'd know deep deep inside
That you just wanted to kiss my lips
So I sit here thinking quietly of a joke
That might make you laugh
Then that pretty girl in the corner
Caught your eye and then stole your hat


I can't stop my thinkin' of you
And it's driving me nuts
Like these thoughts seem to do

Maybe if I was meek
Then you would think I was wonderful
And my awkward sense of humor
Wouldn't scare you away for good
And you might just think my hobbies
mesh with yours and aren't weird at all
And maybe we'd fall in love
If we weren't so afraid to fall

Maybe we'd fall in love if we weren't so afraid to fall
