Green Floor, Steady Light
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
That corridor stretched on and on
Green floor throwing back the light
You held my hand the whole way down
And made the waiting feel less like night

[Pre-chorus]
I counted tiles just to breathe
Counted minutes just to cope
But every time I looked at you
Something in my chest found hope

[Chorus]
Emmett, you never once looked away
Steady when I couldn't stand
You're the calm I lean my whole weight on
Emmett, still the safest hand

[Verse 2]
Strip lights humming overhead
Nobody spoke above a whisper
You just stayed there next to me
Closer than I'd ever missed you

[Pre-chorus]
I counted tiles just to breathe
Counted minutes just to cope
But every time I looked at you
Something in my chest found hope

[Chorus]
Emmett, you never once looked away
Steady when I couldn't stand
You're the calm I lean my whole weight on
Emmett, still the safest hand

[Bridge]
No grand words, no promises made loud
Just your shoulder, just your arm
You don't have to try to save me
You just have to stay this calm

[Chorus]
Emmett, you never once looked away
Steady when I couldn't stand
You're the calm I lean my whole weight on
Emmett, still the safest hand

[Outro]
Some floors shine because they're frightened
I still see that green in you
