“Dear Marie” is a song written to a girl John used to be in a relationship with back in high school but due to him pursuing a career in music the relationship ended up ending. As mentioned in an episode of Current Mood, Marie was the only girl he dated before he was famous, and she was “the one that got away” for him; someone that he knew liked him not because he was famous, but because of who he was. In this song, he’s asking Marie what kind person he was then and if the life he chose changed him.
Marie is a real person, though not by that name, John called it a, “letter to someone that gets to no one”.
