The Corridor Light
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
The floor was green under fluorescent light
Humming soft through the middle of the night
I sat there counting tiles on the ground
And you held on and made it feel right

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing about that hallway was kind
But you kept talking, kept me in line
And I felt something steady begin

[Chorus]
Elena, you keep me standing still
You're the calm I never had to build
Some hold your hand just to pass the time
But you're the one I'd choose if I could choose at will

[Verse 2]
Years from that corridor, further on
I still hear the hum when you are gone
You call and the noise goes quiet again
Like the light in that hallway at dawn

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing about that hallway was kind
But you kept talking, kept me in line
And I felt something steady begin

[Chorus]
Elena, you keep me standing still
You're the calm I never had to build
Some hold your hand just to pass the time
But you're the one I'd choose if I could choose at will

[Bridge]
No one prepares you for waiting rooms
Or how love finds you under bad light
But you stayed, and that was the whole of it
You stayed, and somehow that made it right

[Chorus]
Elena, you keep me standing still
You're the calm I never had to build
Some hold your hand just to pass the time
But you're the one I'd choose if I could choose at will

[Outro]
Some floors stay green in the mind for years
Because you were there, and that's still clear
