Maria is an ode to the springtime. every year, when the spring rolls around, I marvel at how alive it makes me feel. It only felt right to personify the springtime as Maria, the type of person who floats into your life like the turning of the seasons. She is the type of person who is not here to stay, but she is here to inspire. She is the type of person whose soul is so beautiful, that in her presence, you can’t help but recognize the beauty in yourself.

Lyrics
when i walk down the street on the sidewalk
on a beautiful sunday in spring
if a leaf should fall down,
i’ll tuck it in my crown,
i’ll declare that contentment is king
memorizing or trying to remember
the smell of cerulean skies
it’s my number one pick
and i want it to stick
for safekeeping when we say goodbyes
oh i’m gonna miss you maria
how you share your beauty with every broke down soul
and i always long to be near ya
even when you’ve had your days
your purples and your grays
still i never met a soul sweeter
maria!
and i’m hoping you’ll come back, maria
when you’re shining your light on me, well
yeah you like how i look,
all my bumps and my hooks,
and i’m starting to like them myself
oh i’m gonna miss you maria
how you share your beauty with every broke down soul
and i always long to be near ya
even when you’ve had your days
your purples and your grays
still i never met a soul sweeter
maria!
if you’re gonna leave me, leave me better than you found me
if you’re gonna leave me, leave me better than you found me
if you’re gonna leave me, leave me better than you found me
if you’re gonna leave me, leave me better than you found me
i’m gonna miss you maria
how you share your beauty with every broke down soul
and i always long to be near ya
even when you’ve had your days
your purples and your grays
