[Verse 1]
I read till it burns my eyes
Realize that heaven is not my paradise

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm swimming far away, the sea
Till nobody else can see me
Ai-je un peu peur du vide?
I like the salty taste on my skin

[Chorus]
Maria, Maria, why do you go so far?
Maria, Maria, why do we go too far?
Always

[Verse 2]
I keep stones in my pocket
They all remind of you
And your faces like photos in my wallet
Are drowning when I am too

[Pre-Chorus]
I just float away, the sea
Till nobody else can see me
Ai-je envie de sauter dans le vide?
I like the salty burns on my skin
[Chorus]
Maria, Maria, why do we go so far?
Maria, Maria, why do we go too far?
Always

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
(Trust me)
Trust me, nothing ever happens
When you're just looking from the shore
See those people dancing on the white boats?
They live their lives with open doors (Oh, oh-oh-oh)

[Instrumental Outro]
