[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 …

You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds

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…

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 …
I saw stars on the pavement
California dreams
Looked up through the bright lights
No stars did I see1
You said it’s all yours if you take it there
I said I can’t do it alone I swear2
You said it’s all yours
It’s all yours and you smiled3
It’s only you (who)
Loves me like you do (do)
Tryna keep it cool (cool)
But I can’t keep cool about it4
Acting like a fool (fool)
Wanna scream it from the roof (roof)
I’m tryna keep it cool (cool)
But I can’t keep cool about it
And for your love I was blind
Drifting at sea5
You were the beacon I followed home
You were the one who rescued me6
You said it’s all yours if you take it there
I said I can’t do it alone I swear
You said it’s all yours
It’s all yours and you smiled
It’s only you (who)
Loves me like you do (do)
Tryna keep it cool (cool)
But I can’t keep cool about it
Acting like a fool (fool)
Wanna scream it from the roof (roof)
I’m tryna keep it cool (cool)
But I can’t keep cool about it
You said
(Oooh-wooah)
I don’t wanna lose your love
(Oh-woaah)7
It’s only you (who)
Loves me like you do (do)
Tryna keep it cool (cool)
But I can’t keep cool about it
Acting like a fool (fool)
Wanna scream it from the roof (roof)
I’m tryna keep it cool (cool)
But I can’t keep cool about it
Alesso indicates that this song is written from the perspective of someone who has the opportunity to become a celebrity who lives under the constant admiration of others. Perhaps he wrote it while reflecting on his own experiences of rising to fame.
Some people are not confident in their abilities to “make it big.”
This rising star feels as though the world has been handed to him.
The excitement of mass popularity causes someone to try to “play it cool” – to be suave – but in the end, we are all humans, and our public personas are fragile.
Although caught in the spotlight, he feels motivated only by the love of a single individual, though he has no idea how to win her over.
His beloved is a source of stability and sanity.
Sometimes celebrities must make a decision between love and fame. Having both is not always possible.
