The Effection - Maria lyrics

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 who*es 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
