Maybe I got stuck on a sentence
Or maybe I never had a clue
If only I had paid some attention in school
I might have learned a way to hide this fool

Maybe if I stood a little straighter
And listened to my father’s loud commands
Instead of hunched in my default defiance
I might have turned into his kind of man

I used to be a saint now I’m a sinner
Life’s a little easier these days
You can still say grace before our dinner
I’ll just sit and listen as you pray


Maybe there’s a point or there isn’t
Or maybe is just a word that wastes the day
Maybe-ologies and maybe-isms
Maybe they just get in the way

Maybe there’s a point but if there isn’t
And all the great ideas are laid to waste
Every answered question no matter how much truth
Maybe we’ll be always lost in space
