[heavy violin bass string under beat] [Verse 1] Maryann leaves the window cracked So the night can crawl in past her smoke She dances in socks across the hardwood Like everything's a joke [Pre-Chorus] Your laugh is quiet thunder Rolling soft then it follows you I'm just trying to get under The rain that comes with the monsoon [insert pure vocal here] MARY FUCKING ANN [Chorus] Mary Ann, Mary Ann You're the static when the record ends Whispering slow in the half-light glow Mary Ann, Mary Ann I don't need to understand Just let me stay inside this moment With you [laid back southern rap] Check the cadence Heavy on the hush Staccato with the touch If patience is a virtue I’m addicted to the crutch Pulse like a piston Everything is glistenin' Stop the world spinning Baby, listenin'— We ain’t racing for the ribbon We just living in the vision High-definition tension Did I mention the precision? [back to singing] [Verse 2] You keep secrets in the pockets of your coat Polaroids and half-smoked hopes You say the city's too loud for dreaming But you still hum it in your sleep I trace the freckles on your shoulder Like I'm counting stars not sheep And time gets crazy when we're close Going Fast where it's supposed to slow.....down [insert pure vocal here] MARY FUCKING ANN [Chorus] Mary Ann, Mary Ann You're the static when the record ends Spinning slow in the half-light glow Mary Ann, Mary Ann I don't need to understand Just let me stay inside this moment With you [laid back southern rap] Gravity’s a suggestion Ask a better question Eyes locked in That’s a spiritual ingestion It’s a slow-burn simmer Light getting dimmer You’re the ocean floor I’m the long-distance swimmer We’re the architects of "after" The authors of the chapter No fast-forward No skip Just a steady-handed grip On the logic of the lip Physics on a holiday Logic’s gone away If time is money, honey We got decades in the tray I’m a specialist in linger Wrapped around your finger Like a vintage melody From a late-night singer [Bridge] If the world gets heavy we can carry it together If the lights go out we'll just make our own weather [Instrumental] [insert pure vocal here] MARY FUCKING ANN [Chorus] Mary Ann, Mary Ann You're the song I never quite transcend Playing soft in the night we begin Again, Mary Ann Take my hand, let the credits roll We don't need another reason Just you [Outro] Mary Ann Mary Ann
