Maybe There Is A Way

The other side always seems more green
But will she change, ever treat me mean
I need a life, don't need no trap
Gotta keep an eye on the map

No one thinks of anything but the ring
Sometimes a snake leaves less of a sting
How can I know which is the way
Hope the strings attached never fray

Everybody shouts philosophy
But what’s that got to do with me
I’m told to do this and to do that
I am to be no wheel chasing rat

Maybe there is a way
Perhaps there is a hope
The single life is okay
I can do as I may
Everything I've fought for
To her I could lose it all
Isn't it better to stay
Than to blow it all away
Maybe there is a road
Perhaps our own abode
Maybe she might see me fine
Rather than a dollar sign
She might toss me away
At the end of my days
But maybe there is a way
Maybe there is a way

She passed me today with a smile
I hadn't felt like that for a while
It makes me wonder if she's the one
Or make me wish to end my life with a gun

I hadn't felt like that for years
Maybe I should take her out for beers
At once I felt all we could be
But can I really trust only that I see

My sister had a baby not long ago
From that she's gotten such a glow
Is it me to be on the same page
Or will I be a budgie trapped in its cage

As the oldest grandchild I've had a taste
Childhood lessons never went to waste
Sure I could do it, will it feel new
Though what could ever be my future view

Maybe there is a way
Perhaps there is a hope
The single life is okay
I can do as I may
Everything I've fought for
To her I could lose it all
Isn't it better to stay
Than to blow it all away
Maybe there is a road
Perhaps our own abode
Maybe she might see me fine
Rather than a dollar sign
She might toss me away
At the end of my days
But maybe there is a way
Maybe there is a way
