Dear Marie Lyrics

Dear Marie, tell me what it was I used to be
Dear Marie, tell me what it was I used to be
And if you're further up the road can you show me what I still can't see

Remember me, I'm the boy you used to love when we were fifteen
Remember me, I'm the boy you used to love when we were fifteen
Now I wonder what you think when you see me on the magazine

From time to time, I go looking for your photograph online
From time to time, I go looking for your photograph online
Some county judge in Ohio is all I ever find

Dear Marie, tell me do you still believe in me
Dear Marie, tell me do you still believe in me
Yeah I've got my dream but you've got family
Yeah I've got my dream but you've got family
Yeah I've got my dream but I guess it got away from me

What is the Meaning of Dear Marie?

In this soulful serenade, Mayer takes a trip down memory lane, reaching out to a past love. The song is filled with nostalgia and regret as he contemplates the different paths their lives have taken. He's achieved his dreams of fame but seems to question if it was worth the cost of losing something more meaningful - love and family. His online searches for Marie reflect his longing for connection and simpler times. Despite his success, he feels incomplete and yearns for validation ("do you still believe in me"). It's a poignant reminder that fame isn't always fulfilling and sometimes, what we leave behind can haunt us in our solitude.
