It's never to be, it's so predictable but you're so outrageous to me, how you'll never be free

And with such grace you regret the haste with which you've thrown it all away, don't get led astray

Your nature shines upon my day like pearls of wisdom from Hemingway, you're my lonesome cabaret

Don't get lost in that old beef with that newjack whose on the block, watch your double talk

Marianna, your mistakes were the start of everything we've got

Marianna, I'm sorry for your loss, 'cause time's the greatest cost - to a girl like you

Don't go for rib, resist the urge, you know that everything’s not lost, no matter the cost

Implausibility is what drives me to see that you’re the one, forgive me if I’ve jumped the gun

Marianna, your mistakes were the start of everything we've got

Marianna, I'm sorry for your loss, 'cause time's the greatest cost - to a girl like you

It’s never to be, it’s so predictable that I would fall for you, my crooked honeydew

You’ll face the row, my beau, you know our love will grow and grow, no matter what’s in store

Marianna, your mistakes were the start of everything we've got

Marianna-oh-ah-oh-ah-oh-ah-ah we'll never have the bond or love that we just want to feel

I dreamt you’d walk out free, redeemed, allowed to feel

Yeah, you've shown me how to love again, my dear

Oh, I care to be the one who's by your side

Everything will be just fine, my dear

Everything, girl, it’s not your ultimatum

Everything, even though it’s permanent
