Mary
Ryan McMullan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When she takes my by my hand
She will never know
And I won't understand
And Mary, she's divine
She smiles all the time
And when I stare
I feel whole inside
If you see Amy
Tell her I'm fine
Tell her I'm fine
'Cause my heart's been battered
My heart's been bruised
But that doesn't matter if I've got you
So Mary, won't you stay with me tonight?
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
And Mary, you'll grow old
And I hope it's with me
So I can wake you up
Just to move your hair
Off my face tonight
If you see Amy
Tell her I'm fine
Tell her I'm fine
'Cause my heart's been battered
My heart's been bruised
But that doesn't matter if I've got you
So Mary won't you stay with me tonight?
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
So when I see her in the evening
Or I invite her for a drink
She'll never feel that sense of warning
The way that Amy
The way that Amy did
And Mary suits my soul
When she takes me by my hand
She will never know
And I won't understand
No, not me
If you see Amy
Tell her I'm fine
Tell her I'm fine
'Cause my heart's been buttered
My heart's been bruised
But that doesn't matter, no
That doesn't matter
'Cause I've got you
The lyrics to Ryan McMullan's song "Mary" appear to tell the story of a man who has been heartbroken by a woman named Amy, but has found solace in another woman named Mary. The line "Mary suits my soul" suggests that he feels more in tune with Mary, and her presence in his life makes him feel complete. He acknowledges that she will never fully understand the depth of his feelings for her, just as he cannot comprehend why he is so drawn to her. The repeated refrain of "If you see Amy, tell her I'm fine" indicates that he is still processing the pain of his past relationship, but is trying to move on with Mary by his side.
The second verse further emphasizes the singer's desire for a long-term connection with Mary. He hopes that they can grow old together, and imagines waking her up in the night just to move her hair out of his face. The repetition of "tonight" in the chorus seems to be a plea to Mary to stay with him, to continue to provide the comfort and stability that he craves. In the final verse, the singer contrasts Mary with Amy, noting that the former will never evoke the same sense of warning that the latter did.
