Scariest Maybe by Armac Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My mind is lost in these wide open spaces, I can't fathom a worse kind of hell
Sitting alone at a table for four, waiting for the starting bell
Taking their time, I'm "taking my chances", "hoping for" and "terrified"
Nervously glancing, all covered in red, I am well beyond petrified
Teenage body with a well aged voice shatters the silent night
I wait in morbid fear, not for a sure thing, I wait in fear for a might
The lanky kid with an acoustic guitar and a snarl that wouldn't quit
Rocked the house but they showed up late so it was just for a bit
[Pre-Chorus]
I said yes, I will go, without thinking ahead
And Christ, I'm deep in it now
I want a way out of this mess
But I just cannot see how
You leave me wondering if I'll make it out intact
Your lack of a decision is the worst kind of attack
[Chorus]
Why not say you're going
Or decide you're not showing
While "Hips Don't Dance" are crowing
It's hard for me to be easygoing
Because you are the scariest maybe
You are the scariest maybe
I don't think that anyone could pay me
To stay here like this
Except that I don't want to miss
That maybe
[Verse 2]
Then an off-brand Tom Petty sang some songs about dead heroes and drugs and chicks
His style is so very broken the type that no one would want to fix
His lyrics were absurd diatribes that verged on social commentary
But the early '90s called said stop perpetuating this you bullshit commissary
The cliche looking idiots all know the words to every bit of his noise
His offensive song about Bin-Laden got some chuckles from the boys
I sit and I groan, wanting this over but I have to smile and nod
Because my chair is right next to the stage this fucker's playing on
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a wreck and I'm sure I look quite insane
I don't mean to, but I must complain
[Chorus]
Why not say you're going
Or decide you're not showing
While this silly Village Idiot is blowing
I wither here not knowing
Because you are the scariest maybe
You are the scariest maybe
I don't think that anyone could pay me
To stay here like this
Except that I don't want to miss
Your maybe
[Verse 3]
His posse of time-warped high-waisted jean-wearers disbands and on comes the bear;
The guys I came to see, technically, and they play their fair share
They play the songs that I know, and then a new one or two or three
It's nice to have something to take my mind off my fear and anxiety
They Only Speak in Accents and Dialogs but it works and I enjoy
With that boom-boom-boom, boom-boom-boom, they over and over employ
I rock in my chair, beat the floor with my feet and let the music take me
But between every song I check the door with a twinge of fear for that maybe
[Pre-Chorus]
This is who you would be seeing if you came
This has to be the end of this nervous game
[Chorus]
Why not say you're going
Or decide you're not showing
Ursus Colossus are free-flowing
My sad relief is growing
Because you are the scariest maybe
You are the scariest maybe
I don't think that anyone could pay me
To stay here like this
Except that I don't want to miss
You maybe
[Verse 4]
The big bear plays their set going half an hour later than I had thought
The semi-political jackass-man returns so I leave before that rot
Head to my car ears ringing a tad, half-happy half-disappointed
My every emotion feels so strange, so utterly disjointed
I start the engine head to the Warm Southern Flank for some more fun
I try to wrap my head around what this night has done
I realize any chance I have to see you will be fraught with skipping beats
The world around me fades to echoes, as I accept defeat
[Chorus]
You are the scariest maybe
You are the scariest maybe
I don't think that anyone could pay me
To stay here like this
Except that I don't want to miss
You
You are the scariest maybe
You are the scariest maybe
I am freed til the 19th
When you become a yes
I can't image it won't be a mess
But I'll go for the chance
That I get to dance
With you
