Green Light Waiting
Style: Bossa nova

[Verse 1]
I sat where the floor throws back light
Green from the sign on the wall
You reached for my hand in that light
Nothing about it felt small

[Pre-chorus]
Every plain hour turns golden
When you're the one sitting near
I stop watching the doorway

[Chorus]
Hunter, you stayed when it mattered
Nobody asked you to stay
Something in me feels less scattered
Since you walked into the grey

[Verse 2]
Rows of chairs, nobody speaking
Hours that don't seem to end
You made the silence worth keeping
You made yourself my one friend

[Chorus]
Hunter, you stayed when it mattered
Nobody asked you to stay
Something in me feels less scattered
Since you walked into the grey

[Bridge]
I don't need the lights to be pretty
I just need you sitting there
Under the exit sign's glow
You're the calm inside the glare

[Chorus]
Hunter, you stayed when it mattered
Nobody asked you to stay
Something in me feels less scattered
Since you walked into the grey

[Outro]
The floor still throws back that green
But now it just means you're near
