All Time Low - Dear Maria, Count Me In
I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
When the lights go up
I wanna watch the way you
Take the stage by storm
The way you wrap those boys around your finger
Go on and play the leader
'Cause you know it's what you're good at
The low road for the fast track
Make every second last
'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one
Who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts
Calling your name from the crowd
Live and let live
You'll be the show girl of the home team
I'll be the narrator
Telling another tale of the American dream
I see your name in lights
We can make you a star
Girl, we'll take the world by storm
It isn't that hard...
'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one
Who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts
Calling your name from the crowd
Whoa...
Ha ha...
Take a breath, don't it sound so easy
Never had a doubt
Now I'm going crazy
Watching from the floor
Take a breath and let the rest come easy
Never settle down
'Cause the cash flow leaves
Me always wanting more
'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
And I'm the pen
Make it count when I'm the one
Who's selling you out
'Cause it feels like stealing hearts
Calling your name from the crowd
'Cause I got your picture
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story at the bottom of this bottle
All Time Low's second single off their album, "So Wrong, It's Right". When asked the meaning of the song, Alex (the vocalist) said, "This girl that I know told me that she had become a stripper and I thought that was hilarious... and awesome." In another interview, Alex quoted that the lyrics of the chorus "I got your picture, I'm coming with you, Dear Maria, count me in" has a deeper meaning of which it can be translated into himself wishing that Maria would have a drink at the bar with him and perhaps give him a lap dance. Alex has also said that he got the idea for this song because an old friend of his became a stripper and he decided to write a song about a manager trying to make this stripper, Maria, into something big like a moviestar or something.
