Story behind the song

You know.

Lyrics

VERSE 1:
Mary Eve
She puts the coffee on
Then she checks her phone
A working day, hurry up and wait
For everything you want

On the street
All the dominoes are 
Falling into place
On the bus, all of us
Are staring into space

CHORUS:
Everyone alone downhearted
It’s a sad display
But Mary Eve’s got something up her sleeve
That makes it all OK

VERSE 2:
Smear the pane
Wipe the fog away and
Get the real world stats
The wind is cold, the sky is gray
I’m not so down with that

Swipe the screen
See the photographs of
Everywhere she’s been
Taming the wild - man and child
Yeah, that’s her kind of scene

CHORUS:
This man’s world of death and steel
Tells of no escape
But Mary Eve has something up her sleeve
To make it go away

BRIDGE:
I dream of a lark
With a song no one knows
She sings in the dark
To a flower in the snow

VERSE 3:
Late at night
She pours us both a glass
And turns the lamp down low
That’s why I’m here, for when the fear
Starts to let me go

I believe
It’s second nature to be
Laying near her breast
I hear the beat, I am complete
I am a man at rest 

CHORUS:
I believe, I know, I swear, I
Love this mystery
But Mary Eve’s got something up her sleeve
That’s everything to me
