Fast As You Lyrics

Maybe someday I'll be strong
Maybe it won't be long
I'll be the one who's tough
You'll be the one who's got it rough
It won't be long and maybe I'll be real strong
Maybe I'll do things right
Maybe I'll start tonight
You'll learn to cry like me
Baby let's just wait and see
Maybe I'll start tonight and do things right

You'll control me and oh so boldly
Rule me 'til I'm free
Til the pain that shakes me
Finally makes me get up off of my knees

Chorus:
Maybe I'll be fast as you
Maybe I'll break hearts too
I think that you'll slow down
When your turn to hurt comes around
Maybe I'll break hearts and be as fast as you

You'll control me and oh so boldly
Rule me 'til I'm free
Til the pain that shakes me
Finally makes me get up off of my knees

Chorus

Incredible, one of his best songs.

classic dwight.

i love the use of the word "maybe".

he knows damn well that he won't do any of the things he says, but he's still making that empty threat knowing that she'll see right through it.

That's very interesting. I have never thought about the "maybe" part of the song. I've always heard the song as more of a cry of redemption but now i can really see the desperation.
