Lyrics

I wish I could say that I showed even a little control
But that never happened
What I did was saw you
And dropped my life into a hole
And I wish I regretted the mess that you've left me in
A typhoon you are
But I'll get back up to chase you down
Until you let me in, again

You could push the world, with two arms, away
And they'd all crawl back to you in less than a day
I can see I should throw it in, but could you let me know

CHORUS:
When Maria?
When can I come back and see you again?
And will we be lovers or friends
Then Maria?

Riding a bus on a road that goes all the right places
Through space and time
And then without warning
You're wishing it had left you behind
Left you to live or to die trying something so dangerous
That the chance of survival
Is the best chance that you know that you'll ever get

And I see you as the perfect mirage
A chance at redemption through sabotage
But now I can't end this, so please let me know

CHORUS

How could you?
Oh, how could you?
How couldn't you?

First there was hope, and then love, and then peace of mind
And then Maria
You showed up to shatter the world I thought mattered
So tell me what now then, Maria?
