[Intro: Future]
Drop your location, she think she me or sum’ (Hendrix)
Put on my chains, now she think she me or sum’
She keep a Glock in her bag, she think …
[Verse 1]
You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds
Come out of your soul, a part of the whole”
You said, “What does it change?
Both of us know
After tonight, there …

Maria…
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
Maria, Maria…
Maria!
I’ve just met a girl named Maria
And …
[Verse 1]
What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight
Staring through a window in time
For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …
[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh, every little smile hides a little lie
Could cut the silence with a knife
Subatomic bliss is nothing left to miss
It’s just empty Russian roulette

Try to brush it off my …
Drowning in you.1 Askin’ nothin’, takin’2
Do you believe in passion and romance?3
Destined to be within us and around us?4
Diana, she loves me
No innocence or compromise5
Diana, she loves me
The only way she knows
When the soul’s in flight, you set your body free6
And all of your lighted lessons, in all it’s fantasies7
And as a shiver reverts the tension
From a materialized dementia8
The make believe, our liberty
You offer some love, swifts and chains
Never change you for all the dames9
I stand for you, you open up to me
She said she wanted both of us to go
And she won’t give up for nothing10
Diana, she loves me
No innocence or compromise
Diana, she loves me
The only way she knows
Diana, she loves me
No innocence or compromise
Diana, she loves me
The only way she knows11
“Drowning in you” means that Paolo Nutini is so obsessed with a girl that he can’t think about anything else except her.
Paolo Nutini says that regardless of his beloved’s attitude toward him, he pursues her.
Paolo Nutini asks this rhetorical question to show that he does believe in passion and romance.
Paolo Nutini is a bit of a sentimental romantic.
Paolo Nutini sings that his beloved, Diana, reciprocates his love.
When someone is deep in love, they shouldn’t try to come down from the “high” it provides.
Rationality takes a back seat to feelings when one is in love.
Sometimes love makes us feel like we are going crazy because of how much it can change us.
Paolo Nutini would rather be foolishly captivated by Diana than trade their love for anyone or anything else.
Diana’s love for Paolo Nutini may even be stronger than his love for her. He celebrates this.
This song is about love between two people.
