[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 …
Talking like we used to do
It was always me and you37
Shaping up and shipping out
Check me in and check me out38
Do you like walking in the rain?
When you think of love, do you think of pain?39
You can tell me what you see
I will choose what I believe40
Hold on, darling
This body is yours,
This body is yours and mine41
Well hold on, my darling
This mess was yours,
Now your mess is mine42
Your mess is mine
See you in the marketplace
Walking ’round at 8am
Got 2 hours before my flight43
Lucky be on my side tonight
You’re the reason that I feel so strong44
The reason that I’m hanging on45
You know you gave me all the time
Oh, did I give enough of mine?46
Hold on, darling
This body is yours,
This body is yours and mine
Well hold on, my darling
This mess was yours,
Now your mess is mine
Bring me to your house
And tell you sorry for the mess
Hey, I don’t mind47
You’re talking in your sleep
Out of time
Well, you still make sense to me48
Your mess is mine
Your mess is mine
This body’s yours and this body’s mine
Your mess is mine

Two people used to be close friends but over time they grew apart. But somehow they found there way back to each other. One of them (probably the girl) tell her old friend that she doesn’t like all of her flaws and he tells her that she is perfect. But she still doesn’t really believe him. They get together at one of their houses and talk some more. As she sleeps she talks about herself or other things that he know knows. He can now comfort her and tell her all the good things about her. How could she say all these things about herself when she’s the reason that he’s hanging on. Meaning that she also helps him with loving himself. He’s leaving to go somewhere but so happened to see her. He thinks that he didn’t give her enough love and appreciation. And so he tells her to hold on b/c soon she’ll realize that she perfect.
