Excuses Maybe

Excuses Maybe

1. Excuses Maybe

Excuses Maybe

(verse 1)

when I made up my mind finally (when I made up my mind finally)

I pedaled my bike quickly (I pedaled my bike quickly)

I couldn't get to you fast or brisk enough

I was nervous and out of breath

in a humid, mid-summer July

I'm sorry I'm indecisive

you confessed and my decision

was to leave you hanging

until I decided I couldn't go on living

I know we're more than just friends

but love isn't the end

right now, I'm coming to see you, you're leaving

you're out of view, waving

(chorus)

maybe, maybe

it's not outside the realm of possibility

the bright blue sky above

the white clouds and the wind in my hair as I rush

maybe, maybe

it could be just like a romance movie

today our love could be born

if I can quit silly games before you're gone

it's just excuses maybe

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

when I got to your green yard (when I got to your green yard)

knocking on your door was hard (knocking on your door was hard)

this familiar place was scary, it was easier when it was casual you and plain me

where do we go from here? (where do we go from here?)

the words are stuck and disappear (the words are stuck and disappear)

you look surprised to see me, I tell you it's love and I guarantee

I've never seen a man

jump for such joy

your heart was in your chest

now it's in your mouth

I'm your girl and you're my boy

(chorus)

maybe, maybe

if I could just gain the courage and clarity

probably, we wouldn't be so nervous

and could be nothing but honest

maybe, maybe

if we could be more grown up

maturity and true love wouldn't get stuck

it'd be more like a romantic comedy

but it's excuses maybe

(end chorus)

(bridge)

what took you so long to say you liked me?

you know I'm not good at these types of things

what took me so long to say you're where I want to be?

my charm point is that I'm so naive

I like you

I like you, I like you

no matter what you do

I'll always really, really like you

(chorus)

maybe, maybe

if I could just gain the courage and clarity

probably, we wouldn't be so nervous

and could be nothing but honest

maybe, maybe

if we could be more grown up

maturity and true love wouldn't get stuck

it'd be more like a romantic comedy

but it's excuses maybe

(end chorus)
