[Intro] Right from the start I was intrigued by you hoped that I could carry this feeling through. I painted all your actions in the colours I wanted to see Found every reason to make you blame-free. [Verse 1] I carried the weight of all our talks Happy for the attention of just an instagram heart Thought maybe you’re tired, maybe you are blue -- [instruments stop, focus on voice for punchier line] Maybe I made too many excuses for you. [instruments start again] You tell me you’re busy, talk about yourself While I learn of you, I disappear myself. Maybe it’s the distance, maybe you don't know how, But "maybe" isn't good enough for me right now. [Pre-Chorus] In a world of maybe, I need something sure. (ohhh - something sure) [Chorus, musical melody shift] I’m tired of chasing shadows through the glass Looking for something built to last. Because I’ve learned eventually — [musical shift] Maybe in love, there should be no maybe, But certainly. (mhhhh) Yeah, certainly - [echoed] (certainly) - in love there should be no maybe. Only certainly. (mhhhh) [Verse 2] My life's uncertain, my road is steep Need a safe harbor when the water’s deep. Not a new problem, not a weight to bear -- I want a sovereign man to meet me there. [Pre-Chorus] In a world of maybe, I need something sure. (ohhh - something sure) [Chorus, musical melody shift] I’m tired of chasing shadows through the glass Looking for something built to last. Because I’ve learned eventually — [musical shift] Maybe in love, there should be no maybe, But certainly. (mhhhh) Yeah, certainly - [echoed] (certainly) - in love there should be no maybe. Only certainly. (mhhhh) [Bridge, (Piano becomes driving, rhythmic, emphasis on each "Certainly”] Certainly, I’m packing up my bags for northern snow. Certainly, I have a brilliant, heavy path to go. Certainly, I am too good to sit and wait For a forty-hour echo that’s always late. Certainly, I want a fan in the front row. Certainly -- I’m ready, and let you go. No more maybe. Only certainly. [Chorus] Because in love, there should be no maybe, Only certainly. (mhhhh) Yeah, in love there should be no maybe. Only certainly. [Outro, same melody as intro, now grounded and certain] Right from the start I was intrigued by you hoped that I could carry this feeling through. I painted all your actions in the colours I wanted to see But now I see it clearly -- and choose “certainly”.
