Song lyrics
Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white

And in between the moon and you
Angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right

I walk in the air between the rain
Through myself and back again
Where? I don't know

Maria says she's dying
Through the door, I hear her crying
Why? I don't know

Round here, we always stand up straight
Round here, something radiates

Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said she'd like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
And she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus
She parks her car outside of my house and
Takes her clothes off
Says she's close to understanding Jesus
And she knows she's more than just a little misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when she's nervous

Round here, we're carving out our names
Round here, we all look the same
Round here, we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs
Round here, she's slipping though my hands

Oh, sleeping children better run like the wind
Out of the lightning dream
Mama's little baby better get herself in
Out of the lightning

She says, "It's only in my head"
She says, "Shh... I know it's only in my head"

But the girl on the car in the parking lot
Says, "Man, you should try to take a shot
Can't you see my walls are crumbling?"

Then she looks up at the building
And says she's thinking of jumping
She says she's tired of life
She must be tired of something

Round here, she's always on my mind
Round here
Hey, man, I got lots of time
Round here, we're never sent to bed early
And nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late

I... I can't see nothing, nothing
Round here
(Ya) Catch me if I'm falling
(Ya) Catch me if I'm falling
(Will ya) Catch me 'cause I'm falling down on you

I said I'm under the gun
Round here
Oh, man, I said I'm under the gun
Round here
And I can't see nothing, nothing
Round here

this song is one of the best counting crows songs that they've produced. it is one of my all time favorites. I've been trying to figure out the real meaning of this song, did Maria end up killing herself?

for those ppl who like this song, you must listen to colourblind by counting crows too. it shows wat they could be by now, instead of singing crap like big yellow taxi and pop songs for kids movies (not that the movie was bad)
