lyrics

Me and Maria, we meet at midnight
By the bus stop where we once carved our initials on the red plastic seat
We share a kiss that’s so discreet, if any people pass by here, it’s like I’m whispering in her ear, oh this is love

We take a walk down, to our hideout, in this park there’s a road above our heads, but we’re down here under Echo Bridge, singing songs and reading poetry, like Dead Poets Society, just sweet Maria and me, oh it’s love
The dirty river running next to us, and cars racing by overhead, are our perfect accompaniment, a clandestine soundtrack
Maria reads softly to me, poems in her perfect Polish, I don’t understand a word oh but I know this, there’s no going back no more

When Maria, is harmonizing, the sound it bounces off the curve of the concrete, and the echo sounds so sweet it clashes with her dark eyeliner, and that dark green army jacket that she wears all the time, oh this is love

Both her parents, have to go back, to the dirty running rivers of Gdansk, and we’re no good at making plans but there’s no way that’d we’d survive this, with a whole ocean between us, we could just run away and hide, and leave this all behind

And we can’t let this poetry so quickly turn prosaic, but there’s still so much left to say, so it all pours out in a flood. And I don’t care how much her parents earn or if that’s why they must go home, some parliamentary orders, my feelings have no borders, she’s not going back to Gdansk I’ll never let go of her hand, oh this is love

This town’s too small to contain us, but Maria never wavers, doesn’t care for being famous she just wants to make her mark
An immigrant without a home, just a notebook of half-written poems, we’re a river that just keeps on flowing, under bridges under stars.

Me and Maria, we leave at midnight
From the bus stop where we once carved our initials on the red plastic seat, we share a kiss and then we leave, if anyone comes looking for us, we’ll be long gone on the next bus, this is love. Oh, this is love.
