Maria Lyrics & Chords By The Effection

Picture if you will a face that launched a thousand breathtakings
A flickering illuminated face that sets my heart to aching
I've idealized her bedroom eyes so many times I'm ashamed
I have seen divinity, and Maria is her name
Maria is just a name attached to the face on my wall
A mythical imaginary ideal girl who is the muse of every piece of music ever written
And when I call out her name, I'm picturing you
You're my Maria
Outside the world is shining down, and it's waiting for you
Maria, can you hear them outside, they're knocking at your door
The ten thousand hearts that you broke, and you're in there probably breaking more
Well, I've got motel matches from every place that she's stayed
I've got a lock of hair in a scrapbook I made
When everyone else is wondering about her whereabouts
I know who she is with, I know her every move
You're my Maria
The whole world's a stage, and this spotlight is waiting for you, all I ever wanted was
You, be my Maria
Why don't you seize this day like you know you wanted to?
Misunderstood is a girl who's taking all that she can get
And maybe we don't understand her yet
All those Hollywood whores just want a piece of your fame
They do not love you like I do, they only really want your name
Maria is just a name attached to the face on my wall
A mythical imaginary ideal girl, a magazine and movie picture-perfect postcard
And when I call out her name, picture this
Misunderstood is a girl who's taking all that she can get
And maybe we don't understand her 'cause maybe we can't understand
You, you're my Maria
The whole world's a stage, and this spotlight is waiting for you, and all along it was
You, be my Maria
Why don't you seize this day like you know you want to?
Why don't you seize this day like you know you ought to do?
You, you're my Maria
