Soft Across the Floor
Style: Vibraphone drift

[Verse 1]
Heavy socks on old wood, and still I walk so slow
Every creak gets swallowed before it starts to grow
Down this narrow hall the lamplight barely stirs
You are why I keep my footsteps low

[Chorus]
Madison, the house breathes soft around you now
Nothing here will wake you, nothing will allow
Sleep to slip away when you have only just begun
Rest easy, Madison, beneath this quiet sun

[Verse 2]
Somewhere past the doorframe the whole wide night is still
Warmth is what I carry to the top of every hill
You curl your hand around my sleeve without a sound
I would climb these stairs a hundred times, I will

[Pre-chorus]
Hush now, let the hallway hold its breath a while longer
Let the dark stay gentle, let it just grow softer
Close your eyes, there's nothing here but me and you

[Chorus]
Madison, the house breathes soft around you now
Nothing here will wake you, nothing will allow
Sleep to slip away when you have only just begun
Rest easy, Madison, beneath this quiet sun

[Bridge]
Every floorboard learns to whisper when you're near
Wrapped in wool and warmth, there's nothing left to fear
You are held so closely nothing else gets in

[Chorus]
Madison, the house breathes soft around you now
Nothing here will wake you, nothing will allow
Sleep to slip away when you have only just begun
Rest easy, Madison, beneath this quiet sun

[Outro]
Somewhere down that hall my footsteps still go slow
You are safe and sleeping, and that's all I need to know
