Nicole Atkins – Maybe Tonight Lyrics 18 years ago
love this song! it seems to be about her wanting to reunite with an estranged family member.

"i have been informed you could be the death of me":
people close to her warn her not to get too wrapped up in this person, because she could end up being let down.

"but patience pounds on the time that i stole / you were meant to be mine":
she's trying hard to be patient.

"i draw a duel with the cards of the gods / that were played in fated time":
she's taking a gamble, but she knows they'll end up seeing each other again.

"sky whispers in a baritone / that the mystery always beats what i am shown":
she's warned that not knowing the person's better than knowing. kinda like the saying "never meet your heroes."

"search the the dial for what i need to know / they don't play the songs on my radio":
she tries to find the answer in music, but can't.

the pre-chorus sounds more like:

"but patience pounds on the time that i stole
you were meant to be mine
i draw a duel with the cards of the gods
that were played in fated time"

and verse 2 sounds more like:

"sky whispers in a baritone
that the mystery always beats what i am shown
search the the dial for what i need to know
they don't play the songs on my radio"
