Coiled and Steady
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
You coil the rope down neat and slow
Wet paint still green beneath the bow
No one told you it had to shine
But you make it yours every time

[Chorus]
Maureen, you steady everything you touch
Maureen, you never make too much
Just careful hands and something true
There's no one I would rather choose than you

[Verse 2]
You check the knots before you rest
You always leave a thing at its best
I've watched you tie the same line twice
Just to be sure, just to be right

[Pre-chorus]
It's not the rope or paint I love
It's how you hold what's not enough
And turn it into something whole

[Chorus]
Maureen, you steady everything you touch
Maureen, you never make too much
Just careful hands and something true
There's no one I would rather choose than you

[Bridge]
Some loves come in loud and fast
Ours just settles, built to last
Like coiled rope against the green
Quiet, sure, and always seen

[Chorus]
Maureen, you steady everything you touch
Maureen, you never make too much
Just careful hands and something true
There's no one I would rather choose than you

[Outro]
The deck dries clean beneath the sun
Maureen, you and me, still coiling on
