LYRICS
Hello, it’s nice to see you again
Did you miss me? We’re meant to be friends
But it feels like a century, in my head
If I say something that comes out all wrong
Please forgive me, for feeling this strong
But it feels just like angels, in my head

PRE-CHORUS
‘cuz darlin the truth is
In darkness I’m ruthless
I wanna scream your name
Again and again

VERSE
Maybe I’m tempted by all that I see
You’re nothing like me
I’m circling the room in gold and French perfume

PRE-CHORUS
‘cuz darlin the truth is
In darkness I’m ruthless
I wanna scream your name
Again and again

CHORUS
Oh baby I’m misunderstood
And you’re the only one who knows I could
See it all in black and white
Lookin better by my side
Oh baby I don’t want to be
The only one that’s talking in my sleep
I could be your lullaby
Be my lover every night

BRIDGE
Can we fly-y-y-y away
Can we fly-y-y-y away
‘cuz darlin the truth is
In darkness I’m ruthless
I wanna scream your name, again and again
(TRUMPET SOLO)
CHORUS

[yigitsari]

The Marías is the type of group I want to keep for myself and don't want to be so popular, but at the same time, I support them and want them to be number 1.

[serial_experiments_lain]

the colours resemble a renaissance painting and i’m living for it. the entire video is a work of art

[mhho]

"3:00"
The trumpet solo is so freaking tasty I can listen to it all day.

[atf]

I love it, this is so caribbean hispanic 90s aesthetics

[katelinrose]

*first note plays*

Me: “Yep I love this song.”

[rwiturajgogoi]

She is one of the pretties girls i have ever seen. She has a raw elegance. I dont know is it her way of making music, her voice or herself.

[VideObsession]

I want to hug and high five all those people who adore this tune. Give me a high five back so I know you's exist !

[Fematika]

I’ve been waiting for this song to get a video! It’s my favorite of yours.

[mandrew]

Hearing this type of music along with Men I Trust and Mac DeMarco back in 2019 changed who I was for the better. This song is a favorite

[bun]

this is so beautiful. the visuals and her voice are so soothing and the melody and beat make me feel like im floating. this is a work of art.

[jairw]

Preciosa María, es talento y belleza latina corriendo por tus venas

[daktraveler]

Everything is perfect about them. The music, the look, the vibe. They are cool...

[hayastan]

This song is a representation of what is really beautiful, its complexity and structure is beautiful, something that no doubt everyone should have as a maximum artistic concept of music.

A poem.

[marktheregulardude]

A few seconds in and I can already tell you I LOVE IT

Lyrics

Hello, it's nice to see you again
Did you miss me?
We're meant to be friends
But it feels like a century
In my head

If I say something that comes out all wrong
Please forgive me
For feeling this strong
Like it feels just like angels
Hm, in my head

But darling the truth is
In darkness I'm ruthless
I wanna scream your name
Again and again

Maybe I
Am tempted by all that I see
You're nothing like me
I'm circling the room
In golden french perfume

But darling the truth is
In darkness, I'm ruthless
I wanna scream your name
Again and again

Oh baby
I'm misunderstood
You're the only one who knows that could
See it all in black and white
Looking better by my side
Oh baby I don't want to be
The only one that's talking my sleep
I could be your lullaby
Be my lover every night

Can we fly away?
Can we fly away?

'Cause darling the truth is
In darkness, I'm ruthless
I wanna scream your name
Again and again

Oh baby I don't want to be
The only one that's talking in my sleep
I could be your lullaby
Be my lover every night

[crisdepanico]

I would love to hear a collab with Men I trust!

[jamflores]

i feel so sorry for the people who haven’t listen to this gem . my kind of drug

[ethandennis]

I just gotta say this.
I started dating this girl right before the coronavirus. I mean holy crap she has made me feel so much that I've never really felt before and its just shocking to me. She's awoken this side of me that's been asleep to long. Although it's a highschool relationship, it doesn't make me disregard the fact that i love her. This is one of her favorite songs.

[farukuyar]

I heard this song in one of the starbucks in Prague during my erasmus period. It has been more than two years, and I still listen to this song with the same feeling I had when I first listened to it. Whenever I listen to it, I find myself walking in the streets of Prague, listening to this song in my mind. Thank you The Marias! <3

[javierm]
