Maybe World

Mary Chapin Carpenter

It's all I hate, but oh-so tempting
Fills me up, but leaves me empty
It's all regrets and second chances
What's the point of backward glances
That lead me nowhere?
I can't go back there

[Chorus]
Everything is so uncertain
All happening to you in a whirl
That's the beauty and the hurting
Of living in a maybe world

Who can stand all those should-haves
They wake us up and make us feel bad
The famous road will stay un-taken
All mistakes are worth making
Go back to sleep now
It all works out somehow

[Chorus]

I'm sorry for the rain that broke the dam that caused the flood
I'm sorry for the pain, but that's the way it is because

[Chorus: x2]
