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 .



Chorus

And the world slows, a clock shows

A wrinkle in the flow of time

And 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 dances 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, watching



Now 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?"



Chorus



Pull the curtains all down

On the prince or a clown,

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, i see,

I see you
