[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 …
[TONY]
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 …
[Verse 1]
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug 34
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love 35
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle ‘neath your skin 36
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins 37
But I wonder what would happen if you
[Chorus]
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave 38
[Post-Chorus]
I just wanna see you [x3]
I wanna see you be brave
I just wanna see you [x3]
I wanna see you be brave 39
[Verse 2]
Everybody’s been there
Everybody’s been stared down by the enemy 40
Fallen for the fear
And done some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty 41
Don’t run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is 42
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And since your history of silence
Won’t do you any good
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don’t you tell them the truth? 43
[Chorus + Post Chorus]
[Outro]
I just wanna see you [x6]44
Sara Bareilles sings of how amazing her friend is such that she can turn a phrase into a weapon that can injure and protect or into a drug that can heal or become addictive.
She continues to sing of how her friend can choose to be a black sheep among people or choose to be the subject of hate for someone without love in their life.
She tells her friend that she can keep hiding and living in fear or she can let her mind be known because physical injuries can be painful but it is the spoken word that cuts deeper and does not heal fast.
She continues that it is these words, which are spoken to her friend who then hides them within her where she can share with no one that cause all the pain because they are not shared.
Sara Bareilles then wonders what would happen if her friend was to say what is on her mind. She asks her to talk of her issues.
She sings that all she wants is her friend to stop hiding, Sara wants her to now get some courage and be true to herself, for her own sake. According to Sara Bareilles’ co-writer, Jack Antonoff when talking in an interview through a webisode with Vevo, “It’s important to be brave because by doing that you also give others permission to do the same.”
Sara comforts her friend by telling her that everyone faces some struggles at one point of their lives and almost everyone has a had a person who did not approve of them or their actions.
She says that when faced by tormentors some have fallen, some have slid back into their cocoons in fear, yet others have given way to the bullies.
She challenges her friend not to run but rather face her bullies and tell them what is in her heart and one of these days she will heal because of that bravery.
She then counsels her friend and asks her of what benefit is it for to keep her hurt inside, where she will remain hurting instead of saying what is her in heart, how she truly feels. She is asking her to make her words count.
Sara ends the song by begging her friend to stand up and be brave.
