Maybe It’s a Maybe

You texted “hey” with just one y

I stared at it for way too long

I typed it back, erased it twice

Why does my heart sing along?

We’re not a thing, not yet, not now

But something’s floating in the air

Every joke you almost mean

Feels like you’re getting closer there

Maybe it’s a maybe, maybe it’s a sign

Every time you smile, I lose my sense of time

We’re dancing round the words we never say

But I like it this way

Maybe it’s a maybe, holding hands in doubt

If this is what a crush is all about

Don’t rush it, let it sway

I kinda like this maybe

We share our fries, not our hearts

Sit a little closer than before

Your shoulder brushes into mine

Now I’m not breathing anymore

Friends keep asking “what’s the deal?”

I just laugh and look away

If I say it out loud

It might scare this feeling away

Maybe it’s a maybe, maybe it’s a sign

Every time you smile, I lose my sense of time

We’re dancing round the words we never say

But I like it this way

Maybe it’s a maybe, holding hands in doubt

If this is what a crush is all about

Don’t rush it, let it sway

I kinda like this maybe

If someday you say my name

Like it means a little more

I’ll pretend I’m acting cool

But my heart will hit the floor

Maybe it’s a maybe, turning into “us”

Every little moment’s making me blush

If this is how it starts, okay

I don’t need answers today

Maybe it’s a maybe, soft and undefined

If love is coming, it can take its time

I’ll stay right here, right maybe

So don’t ask me what we are

I don’t wanna label it lately

All I know is when you’re near

I’m smiling like a maybe
