Neon and You
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
Brown curtains hold the night outside
Orange light comes through, soft and wide
I'm not watching the sign at all
I'm watching how you lean on the wall

[Pre-chorus]
The room is small and the hour is late
I never learned how to wait
but with you it never feels like waiting

[Chorus]
Otto, you're the calm in the room
Steady as that neon in the gloom
Otto, whatever else the night brings
You're still the truest of all things

[Verse 2]
We don't need music, we don't need talk
Just the hush of a slow city block
Your hand finds mine without a sound
This is the safest place I've found

[Pre-chorus]
The room is small and the hour is late
I never learned how to wait
but with you it never feels like waiting

[Chorus]
Otto, you're the calm in the room
Steady as that neon in the gloom
Otto, whatever else the night brings
You're still the truest of all things

[Bridge]
Let the sign outside keep burning slow
You're the only light I need to know
No grand words, just you right here
That's enough to keep me near

[Chorus]
Otto, you're the calm in the room
Steady as that neon in the gloom
Otto, whatever else the night brings
You're still the truest of all things

[Outro]
The curtains stay closed, the sign glows on
This is where I want to belong
