Maybe

from Brave Enough by Ari Herstand

/

lyrics

On a street in Nebraska
I find some quiet to call
You pick up and you’re crying
Please come home, please come home, please come home

Maybe I’m not as strong as I thought
Maybe it’s the road
Maybe I was crazy to leave you back waiting
I forgot that you’re my home

Maybe I’m afraid to tell you the truth
Maybe you’d understand
but I’m not okay always away
I forgot that you’re my plan

Watching old friends get married
Helping new friends start a life
Saying I love you for the first time
Swearing that heartbreak is all left behind

Please come home
she said please come home, please come home, please come home

Maybe I’m not as strong as I thought
Maybe it’s the road
Maybe I was crazy to leave you back waiting
I forgot that you’re my home

Maybe I’m afraid to tell you the truth
Maybe you’d understand
but I’m not okay always away
I forgot that you’re my plan

In the dark of California
In our bed where I am not
Close your eyes and feel me hold you
This is love this is pain this is sacrifice

Maybe I’m not as strong as I thought
Maybe I was crazy to leave you back waiting
Maybe I’m afraid to tell you the truth
Maybe you’d understand
but I’m not okay always away

I’m not okay always away
I’m not okay
I’m coming home

Ari Herstand’s most recent offering, Like Home, explores the idea of what home means. And where to find it when the concept has been shattered. In a period when so many have been confined to their homes, this is an exploration that couldn’t be more worthy of the times. ... more
