Santa Maria
Santa Maria's Melancholy Journey: Love, Regret, and a Brazilian Escape
Lyrics
Oh I wanted to tell you the truth
Expressing a desire to share the truth
So won't you just meet me oh back at my booth
Inviting someone to meet at a designated place ("booth")
Well now
Emphasizing a current situation or state
Well now I was running from you
Acknowledging a past action of running away
And oh I wanted to tell you today
Reiterating the desire to convey a message
That oh I'm going to Brazil my babe
Announcing a plan to go to Brazil
And oh and now you can feel all alone
Indicating a sense of solitude or loneliness
Oh now wont you just wait for my cue
Asking someone to wait for a signal or indication
Well now I guess that's why I'm feeling blue
Feeling down or sad, possibly related to the situation
Well now
Repeating the acknowledgment of running away
Well now I was running from you
Reiterating the desire to convey a message
And oh I wanted to tell you today
Mentioning a destination, "Santa Maria," in the message
Yeah Santa Maria my babe
Referring to someone as "Santa Maria"
Yeah and now you can feel all alone
Repeating the sense of solitude or loneliness
Oh and now you can go wash your face
Suggesting a practical action, like washing one's face
And maybe it will rid you of all your mistakes
Linking face-washing to the potential removal of mistakes
And maybe it will rid you of all your distaste
Suggesting face-washing as a remedy for distaste or regrets
Until then though
Expressing a timeframe or condition ("Until then though")
I'm running from you
Repeating the acknowledgment of running away
Yeah babe
Endorsing the term of endearment, "babe"
Yeah go wash your face
Reiterating the suggestion to wash one's face
Yeah babe and rid your mistakes
Linking face-washing to the removal of mistakes
Oh yeah
Expressing agreement or affirmation ("Oh yeah")
(And now you can) feel all alone
Repeating the sense of solitude or loneliness
Ouu
Uttering a vocal expression, possibly reflecting emotion
Ou Woohoo
Non-verbal vocal expressions, possibly conveying emotions
Ou woohoohoo
-Ou woohoohoo
-Ou woohoo
-Ou woohoo
-Ou woohoohoo
-Ou woohoohoo
-Yeah
Repeating the term "Yeah"
