Small Green Light
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
The room goes dark except for one glow
Small and green and steady, soft and low
It blinks the way your heartbeat runs
Slow and sure until the morning comes

[Pre-chorus]
I count the blinks instead of sheep
I'm halfway gone but can't quite sleep
Something in me waiting to say

[Chorus]
Jonah, you're the calm I didn't plan
Jonah, steady like no other can
You're the light that stays when all else dims
I would know your shape from just its hint

[Verse 2]
You leave your shoes beside the door
You hum a tune I've heard before
Nothing about you needs to try so hard
You're already further in than I'd marked

[Pre-chorus]
I count the blinks instead of sheep
I'm halfway gone but can't quite sleep
Something in me waiting to say

[Chorus]
Jonah, you're the calm I didn't plan
Jonah, steady like no other can
You're the light that stays when all else dims
I would know your shape from just its hint

[Bridge]
No grand gesture, no big display
Just you, still here, another day
That's the whole and simple truth of it

[Chorus]
Jonah, you're the calm I didn't plan
Jonah, steady like no other can
You're the light that stays when all else dims
I would know your shape from just its hint

[Outro]
That green light blinks the same tonight
You're still the calm, you're still the light
