Maria Lyrics

Turn off the lights

I don't need to see to know you are here with me at all

Your touch is a curse

For better or worse

It keeps me frozen in bed every night

The tip of your knife

Against my lips

Turn up the heat

I cannot feel my feet or fingertips

Quivering knees

Under the sheets

That's when you hold me

Whisper it'll get better and then

Become more than friends

It's comfortable

Then you left me here

Right when I needed you most

I will sit listening

Just wait until I hear a noise

I'll run to the door

Beg on the floor

Crying you're all that I really need

Maria you are everything

Turn off the dark

Our boulevard of dreams is littered with needles from stick and poke tattoos

I drew you on my thigh

Messed up both your nose and your eyes

But you said that it's fine

I still got your smile right

Turn up the sound

I feel much better when you're screaming your prophecies right in my ears

I couldn't hear them for years

When I drowned in liquor and fear of myself

I'm somebody else

When you're around

Then you left me there

Once I got used to you home

I will wait patiently

Sit like a dog with a bone

I'll run to the door

Beg on the floor

Crying you're all that I really need

Maria you are everything

And I don't believe that I even earned it

A force and a virgin that didn't deserve it

She couldn't do a thing

Had a garden to tend

nearly followed a rope right down to it's end

Then Maria steps in

And everything changes

Just for a second but enough to get through the day

Maria you are everything
