[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

Try to brush it off my …
What do you think about when you look at me
I know we’re not the fairytale you dreamed we’d be1
You wore the veil, you walked the aisle, you took my hand2
And we dove into a mystery3
How I wish we could go back to simpler times4
Before all our scars and all our secrets were in the light5
Now on this hallowed ground, we’ve drawn the battle lines
Will we make it through the night6
It’s going to take much more than promises this time
Only God can change our minds7
Maybe you and I we’re never meant to be complete
Could we just be broken together8
If you can bring your shattered dreams and I’ll bring mine
Could healing still be spoken and save us
The only way we’ll last forever is broken together9
How it must have been so lonely by my side
We were building kingdoms and chasing dreams and left love behind10
I’m praying God will help our broken hearts align
And we won’t give up the fight11
Casting Crowns, singing from the perspective of a man, notes that a romance has gone on for awhile, and things have been less than perfect.
The man and his woman got married.
“We dove into a mystery” means that the couple did not have life fully planned. They committed to the journey together.
“Back to simpler times” means “back to the early days of our relationship where we maintained a romantic and idealized view of one another.”
When you marry someone, you learn about all of their imperfections and how to live with them.
Casting Crowns refers here to a serious fight that has broken out between the husband and wife. It could result in something tragic.
When they can’t rely on one another, they turn to God for guidance.
The man and woman realize that they are not perfect beings. They are broken human beings, but that doesn’t need to prevent their relationship from flourishing. There is still lots of hope for their marriage.
Despite having gone through a lot of hurt, the couple can endure life’s hardships if they commit to one another.
The couple became so goal-oriented that they forgot to experience each other’s loving presence.
The couple calls upon God to save their marriage. They pledge to work together with God’s help. This song is especially encouraging to those considering a divorce.
