LYRICS:
I’ve got a river in my head
I remember what you said to me
Got me workin endlessly

Is it December all this time
I remember what it meant to me
Got me workin endlessly

I got a feeling that I wanna slow down with you
Nobody else will ever do
I got a feeling that I wanna be there with you
Nobody else will ever do
Nobody else will ever do
Nobody else will ever do

Hold it together
God I wish I knew better
Than to be alone like this
Maybe I’m over it

I’m a little like you
Don’t pick up, I slide through
And never be alone like this
I’m so over it

I got a feeling that I wanna slow down with you
Nobody else will ever do
I got a feeling that I wanna be there with you
Nobody else will ever do
Nobody else will ever do
Nobody else will ever do

What is happening to me inside my head, I don’t
know if i could be a remedy or antidote
Want you to talk to me and see if I’m the only one
Like I’m draining out the water from a water gun
You caught me callin a shrink, i didn’t think you’re better than me
But you’re singing this song like you’re meant to be
I don’t wanna bow down, are you following? Are you following me?

I've got the river
In my head, I remember
What you said to me
Got me workin' endlessly
Is it December?
All this time, I remember
What it meant to me
Got me workin' endlessly

I got a feelin'
That I wanna slow down with you
Nobody else will ever do
I got a feelin'
That I wanna be there with you
Nobody else will ever do

Nobody else will ever do
(Nobody else will ever do)
Nobody else will ever do
(Nobody else will ever do)
Nobody else will ever do

Hold it together
God, I wish I knew better
Than to be alone like this
Maybe I'm over it
I'm a little like you
Don't pick up, but slide through
And never be alone like this
I'm so over it

I got a feelin'
That I wanna slow down with you
Nobody else will ever do
I got a feelin'
That I wanna be there with you
Nobody else will ever do

Nobody else will ever do
(Nobody else will ever do)
Nobody else will ever do
(Nobody else will ever do)
Nobody else will ever do

What is happenin' to me, inside my head, I don't
Know if I could be a remedy or antidote
Want you to talk to me and see if I'm the only one
Like a train and out the water from a water gun
You got me callin' a shrink, you didn't think you're better than me
But you're singin' the song like you're meant to be
[?] why you followin', why you followin' me?

What is happenin' to me, inside my head, I don't
Know if I could be a remedy or antidote
Want you to talk to me and see if I'm the only one
Like a train and out the water from a water gun
You got me callin' a shrink, you didn't think you're better than me
But you're singin' the song like you're meant to be
[?] why you followin', why you followin' me?

(Nobody else will ever do
Nobody else will ever do)

I feel like this song is different from their other songs but the vibe is indescribable it's so amazing

[Optim]

2020 IS SUCH a killer time for indie music! Keep it up guys, you're one of the best!

[timstong]

Jesus this band is absolutely incredible. My Goodness...

[jacqueline]

I love the song but this music video is also a masterpiece. It's simple but so artistic. Red is a passionate and powerful color, it goes so well with the lyrics of the song. "nobody else will ever do" she wants you and only you

[Demometeor]

such a relaxing voice and gorgeous face, u can satisfy your ears and eyes by listening to the marias ...

[Nicole-fdxk]

can't believe the marias invented the color red

[shabfab]

Maria: The most beautiful creature in all the land with the silkiest voice of all time! Love it!

[llma_]

I love how snappy and restrained the bass line is while still managing to dominate the song, this slaps so HARD it's so clean and cool oh my god

[lesliealvarez]

How can y’all come up with masterpieces after masterpieces?? I love y’all

[noahd]

best song of the year! it doesnt feel like a song, it feels like an experience

[juanitaduque]

LLEGUE MEDIA HORA TARDE AAAA PERO ESTOY ENAMORADISIMA DE LA CANCIÓN
Y EL VIDEO NI HABLAR, MUY BIEN TRABAJADO ES COMO ESTAR DENTRO DE UNA OBRA DE ARTE

Me encantaron, demasiado, son lo mejor

[famousbowl]

COULDN'T BELIEVE WHEN I SAW THE NOTIFICATION! I LOVE YOUR MUSIC GUYS! CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU GUYS LIVE!!! THANKS FOR THE LOVELY MUSIC! NEVER STOP!

Edit wow! Thanks for all the likes!

[boykiddman]

That pulsating synth that starts at 0:31 with that sweet chord progression at 0:42 takes me to another level. Feels like I'm stepping into another realm and time is standing still for a moment. Goes so well with the lyrics "I got a feeling that I wanna slow down with you." You guys are genius. Don't stop making these works of art.

I love this band so much. Something about the soft, quiet music and minimalistic bass and drums and Maria's soothing voice makes me feel like I'm floating on a cloud away from my real-life problems. This band makes no bad songs.
