Q&A
Definitely Maybe Lyrics
VERSE 1
I met a girl named Tara
And she lived in the heart of America
She liked black caddies,
Listened to Puff Daddy
Danced until her legs were sore.
She worked around the corner
At a diner with a grouchy owner
And her boyfriend Shane he dates another girl named Katie,
He loves her definitely maybe
Don't think I can take it,
Wake me when it's over..
so far away,
I wish that it was closer
I see you everyday,
I'm too scared to go over.
I wonder what she'd say,
I barely even know her
CHORUS
And how much longer
Will this keep getting stronger?
I wonder what shes doing
When I'm singing myself to sleep
Cause he's a faker,
So seeya later.
I wonder when you'll realise that she means
A lot more to me
VERSE 2
I saw you in the hallway
When my last class was just over
It was Friday, school was out tonight,
everything seems to be alright.
I said,
Yo, are you goin to the party at the cove?
She said,
He's pickin me up at 6 again,
and I don't wanna disapoint my boyfriend.
CHORUS
And how much longer
Will this keep getting stronger?
I wonder what shes doing
When I'm singing myself to sleep
Cause he's a faker,
So seeya later
I wonder when you'll realise that she means
A lot more to me
VERSE 3
And shes starin at his picture hangin in her locker,
Shes tellin all the girls about all the things that he bought her.
I saw what really happened all those time he went for water,
When we were at the movie theatre
Watchin Harry Potter.
He had his hands on
Every single girl he laid his eyes on.
To break it to ya,
He's a pylon.
And even when he kissed her,
He was lookin over starin at her sister.
CHORUS
And how much longer
Will this keep getting stronger?
I wonder what shes doing
When I'm singing myself to sleep
Cause he's a faker,
So seeya later.
I wonder when you'll realise that she means
A lot more to me

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
why are you against spreding the word of god? i hate people who say stuff like that to religous bands.
amazing song & what's wrong with talking about GOD ?
well this is weird that no one has added this song, i think that it is there best one. It is another song about a guy who likes a girl he can't have, they are a good christain rock band.
i agree with J0K3R i think it is their best song aswell.. yer its a song bout a guy who likes a girl but she has a bf who doesnt love her and he wants her to realize she means alot more to him that her bf does... Peace out
yeah this is an awesome song. I can kinda relate to this song, all the times i have liked girls i couldnt have and they like some jackass who doesnt care about them, and i try to show them that they mean more to me. blah blah blah haha yeah neways this is a good song by a good band and I'm excited that they are comin out with another album.
How can anybody (or gurl for that matter) not like Trevor? everthing about him is just so dang hot!
this song has a lot of meaning to me, and if i had never heard this song before i'd probably be a different person
Ya this song is really cute and catchy. i think it's about a guy who likes this girl alotttt but he's never really talked to her. He knows she has a bf, which is intimidating, but also that said bf is cheating o0n her. He really wants to tell her how he feels, but he knows she's too in love with some guy who doesn't deserve her.
This song describes a day I had this summer to a tee. Right down to sine of the names in the song, and even the movie we saw. Hahaha.
I love this song! It's pretty easy to figure out. It's about a guy who has a crush on a girl named Tara, except she has a boyfriend who is a total douche bag.
