[Part I]
[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
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to brush it off my …
Oh I can see the future
Coming to you
Crying with the sadness in your eyes1
And I can find a faith in years I’ve wasted
Being around enough to feel alive2
And when the world is broken, hurt and colder
No one ever knows the reason why3
For the ones we may become
For the balance we have won
For the day we wish the sun
Gonna play it loud tonight4
When you dream of a dream
And you live in the world
Every hope is a hope
For the best don’t want you resting my bones5
And you’re calling me now
I will see you all the time
Should be out there living the life
And not just watching you6
Take me back
Before we all explode
Before we turn to stone
Before the light is gone7
Take me back
To where it all began
To where our memories grow
Before the day goes off8
Tonight we gotta live for
We gotta live for these days9
Tonight, tonight, we’ll remember
We’ll remember these days10
What a day to believe
To believe in the night
Want a date to belong, to a face in the crowd to the beat of your heart11
And the moment begin
And you’re working it out
And you’re holding us all
In your hands, don’t want you waiting for12
Take me back
Before we lose control
Before the tables turn
Before we break it off13
Take me back
To where it all began
To where our memories grow
Before they take us off
Tonight we gotta live for
We gotta live for these days
Tonight, tonight, we’ll remember
We’ll remember these days
Oh I can see the future
Coming to you
Crying with the sadness in your eyes
And I can find a faith in years I’ve wasted
Being around enough to feel alive
And when the world is broken, hurt and colder
No one ever knows the reason why
For the ones we may become
For the balance we have won
For the day we wish the sun
Gonna play it loud tonight
Tonight we gotta live for
We gotta live for these days
Tonight, tonight, we’ll remember
We’ll remember these days
Tonight, tonight, we gotta live for
We gotta live for these days
Tonight, tonight, we’ll remember
We’ll remember these days
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
These days
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
These days
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
These days14
