[Verse 1] Dreaming of far lands on a weekend night Staring at our picture in the kitchen light You’re ten thousand miles on the other side With a mountain of distance and an ocean wide I dream of the future to feel secure To make this “maybe” something more But standard rules are for standard hearts And that’s not where our story starts. [Chorus 1] Maybe it’s a slow burn that feeds an eternal fire Maybe it’s a legacy, and not a quick desire They say “with no kiss, why do you care?” But maybe we are building something rare. Yeah, maybe... Maybe we are building something rare. [Verse 2] You look at my words but you stall the reply Savour the moment while the world goes by It pains you that you cannot open my doors A practical man on a different shore. [short pause and rhythm change for intensity] [with emphasis] If you want to go fast, you can walk alone! But we want to go far to where we build our home! We’re going the distance, so let’s take it slow Protecting the pulse of a quiet glow. [Chorus 2] Maybe we are tired, maybe we are sad Maybe won’t complain when our week’s been only bad Maybe the best present is your presence and care Maybe words feel empty when we cannot be truly there Yeah, maybe… Maybe we wish to be truly there. [Bridge] Let them keep their demands and their fast-paced games Our love’s too big for standard frames We operate in seasons, not in days We rewrite the norm in a hundred ways. [short pause and rhythm change] [music goes quiet] So when the doubt sneaks in and tries to change the view I choose the quiet truth of me and you. hmm… the quiet truth of me and you [music starts anew] [Chorus 1] Maybe it’s a slow burn, that feeds an eternal fire Maybe it’s a legacy, and not a quick desire They say “with no kiss, why do you care?” But maybe we are building something rare. Yeah, maybe... Maybe we are building something rare. [Guitar Solo - Smooth, Rhythmic, Continuum-style Blues Groove] [Chorus 2] [layered voices] Maybe we are tired, maybe we are sad Maybe won’t complain when our week’s been only bad Maybe the best present is your presence and care Maybe words feel empty when we cannot be truly there Yeah, maybe… Maybe we wish to be truly there. Oh how we wish to be truly there. Every day we wish we were truly there. [Outro] [rhythm change, instruments quieten, voice stronger focus and rhythmic delivery] While we're apart - Let's both work hard For future days - Where our luck stays In the same place. Yeah, maybe… [Pause] In the same place.
