Dear Maria, Count Me In Lyrics
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 off
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 showgirl 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
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
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
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
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in

Telling another tale of the American dream
We can make you a star
Girl, we'll take the world by storm
It isn't that hard
I'm coming with you
Dear Maria, count me in
There's a story
At the bottom of this bottle

it's about one of his friends who he found out became a stripper, then he got this whole scenario in his head that some guy (like a talent agent or manager or something) see her and wants to make her a star. the song is their conversation and stuff. alex wrote a whole thing about in the booklet or the single.
also guys, just cuz the girl in the songs name is maria doesn't mean that the girl who the song is about name is maria. just thought i'd point that out.
@tasteslikeFIREx 14 years later, it has been confirmed the girl is indeed named Maria and she's punk af.

fuck yeah, they did it again. god damn these boys are good.
This song is about a stripper, he told me at their acoustic set at Warped Tour in St. Petersburg.
carolineboo you're right. i remember in 100 bands you need to know in ap they said that one of their songs was about somebody trying to make a stripper a star
exactly Arden/carolineboo. In AP its says the song is about a writer talking to a stripper about making her into something bigger than what she is by turning her into an icon.
the song is about a stripper and her agent. the girl was a friend of alex's and he thought it was heaps funny that she wanted to be a stripper so he wrote a song about it. nothing more to it than that.
this sonq was written about the lead sinqers friend who he found out was a stripper . [ look up the interview on youtube .)
its about a stripper. haha. in an interview Alex stated its about his friend who told him she was a stripper and he was like cool. hahaa.
For the record I have kept quiet about it because I didn't care and I wanted to see what people wrote about me, I did not date Alex, and I NEVER told him I was a stripper, he found out from a friend, I am not famous. and I had to disappear off the face of the earth because I had too many people coming in to find me and talk to me.

And I didnt mean to just reply to you I wanted that to be a whole thread

This song is about a good friend of Alex, she told him she was going to become a stripper, Alex thought it was hilarious but he was willing to help her get huge. Hence,
Girl, we'll take the world by storm It isn't that hard
Because ATL was already famous by then and he has experience
This is what I got when I listened to it. It's similar to yours but there's a few differences.
I got your picture I'm coming with you Dear Maria, count me in There's a story at the bottom of this bottle Another pen
When the lights go out I wanna watch the way You take the stage by storm The way you wrap that boy around your finger You wanna play with me now? Cause you know it's what you're good at From small roads to the fast track Make every second theirs
