Maureen's Unique Love (Remix)

(Gentle acoustic guitar strums)

Yeah, yeah

Sometimes the wind blows a little cold

But the fire, it keeps on burning

Listen

Maureen Chibwe, you’re a mystery to me

Like a puzzle that I’m trying to solve constantly

We’re walking on a tightrope, hanging by a thread

With all the heavy words that we’ve already said

Some days the clouds are gathering in gray

We find a hundred reasons just to turn away

But underneath the friction and the stinging heat

There’s a rhythm in the chaos that makes us complete

'Cause your love is so unique, it’s a diamond in the rough

Even when the road is jagged, it’s never quite enough

We fight until the silence fills up every single room

Then we find our way back blooming in the gloom

Yeah, Maureen, it’s a love that’s built to stay

Even when we’re fighting in our own special way

I look into your eyes and I see the storm inside

There’s nowhere left for either one of us to hide

We trip over our shadows, we stumble on our pride

With nothing but these broken promises as our guide

But then you speak my name and the tension starts to fade

We’re counting up the memories that we have actually made

It isn’t always sunshine, it isn’t always gold

But it’s a story that I’m happy that we have to hold

'Cause your love is so unique, it’s a diamond in the rough

Even when the road is jagged, it’s never quite enough

We fight until the silence fills up every single room

Then we find our way back blooming in the gloom

Yeah, Maureen, it’s a love that’s built to stay

Even when we’re fighting in our own special way

Most people want a quiet life, a steady kind of flow

But we choose the fire and the highs and the lows

I wouldn’t trade the arguments, I wouldn’t trade the sting

For the simple kind of peace that a hollow love might bring

No, we need the friction to know that we’re alive

This is how we learn, this is how we strive

'Cause your love is so unique, it’s a diamond in the rough

Even when the road is jagged, it’s never quite enough

We fight until the silence fills up every single room

Then we find our way back blooming in the gloom

Yeah, Maureen, it’s a love that’s built to stay

Even when we’re fighting in our own special way

Yeah, our own special way

Maureen, it’s just you and me

Fighting for the light, finding our way

Still here, still strong

(Fade out with soft piano chords)
