| She fell to the mattress
|
| With the grace of an actress
|
| You’re falling like a thief from a roof
|
| She’s asking for proof
|
| «Are you staying?»
|
| Outside you hear mission bells
|
| Welcome to Maria’s beautiful mess
|
| In a cluttered apartment on the West Side
|
| She pulls the blinds while
|
| You watch how her dress falls 'round her
|
| And the world slows, a clock shows
|
| A wrinkle in the flow of time
|
| She steps close, her eyes glow
|
| Lips pop open like a bottle of wine
|
| And she loves like it’s thirst
|
| Like she’s never been hurt
|
| She’s dancing just like nobody’s watching
|
| Is this love? |
| Is this cursed?
|
| It feels like the first time falling
|
| Nobody’s watching
|
| Nobody’s watching
|
| Nobody’s watching
|
| Woo-hoo hoo
|
| Hee-dee hee
|
| Ooo-ooo wee dee
|
| Hee-hee
|
| She puts on some music
|
| She asks you to choose it
|
| You sang her back a Gershwin line
|
| Now Ella is singing holy, soulfully
|
| Bringing up better times
|
| And beneath the tunes
|
| She’s smiling on an unmade bed
|
| She says, «What's in the middle that scares you?
|
| Does it dare you
|
| To take a moment and just slow down?»
|
| And the world slows, a clock shows
|
| A wrinkle in the flow of time
|
| She steps close, her eyes glow
|
| Lips pop open like a bottle of wine
|
| And she loves like it’s thirst
|
| Like she’s never been hurt
|
| She’s dancing just like nobody’s watching
|
| Is this love? |
| Is this cursed?
|
| It feels like the first time falling
|
| Nobody’s watching
|
| Pull the curtains all down
|
| Let the stars fall around you
|
| She’s smiling like the Mona Lisa
|
| You could conquer this town
|
| If your feet touched the ground
|
| But you’re falling boy
|
| I know, I see you
|
| I see you
|
| I see you
|
| I see, I see, I see you
|
| Hoo-woo wee
|
| Hee-dee hee
|
| Woo-woo wee-dee
|
| Hee-ee hee
|
| Hee-ee hee
|
| Hee-ee hee |
