Alex Koman - Memory of Marie Lyrics

A woman named Marie was destined for me
Passing time with three other guys
I wouldn't let on that I fancied her so
Could she see through my disguise?

As I never thought she would go home
With one of those fellers when she was so stellar
Sending out all those pheromones

Well, I was entranced by her enigmatic charm
While she danced by the bar one night, alone
Something familiar in her mannerism
Calmed me inside of my bones

And I never thought she would come home
But this storyteller gave her a bestseller
And she passed me a napkin note

The next day I managed to phone call Marie
It was scary but I never felt so excited
Adrenaline rushed as she gushed and she gushed
Admitting she wanted the same things I did

It started a fling and turned into more
It alarmed those three other guys
One felt so threatened; I questioned her, "Why?"
"He disinvested," she said, "but then changed his mind"

On that morning I had a new job interview
But this storyteller was a disheartened dweller
Preoccupied by what he knew

And the next day that one guy was back with Marie
The two were committed and decidedly steady
He left on a plane and took her with him too
Though I was behind, a part of me grew
They traveled the world 'til their story unfurled
And my head swirled 'cause I didn't like it
That one guy was back with Marie
Life was sucking!

Yet there was a piece of me that became free
I'd taken a chance and she'd said, "Yes, please!"
I'd been thrown overboard, but my confidence soared
Comfort zones were ignored and we'd gone exploring
I accepted the state of things
And was happy
I accepted the state of things
And was happy
I'm bolder because of my memory of Marie
