Butter and Floorboards
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
Butter's melting slow in the pan
Floorboards creak, you're up before me
I lie here just to hear you move
That sound is how I know I'm free

[Pre-chorus]
I've watched you in a hundred lights
Never needed one more reason
Just this kitchen, just this rise

[Chorus]
Scarlett, the pan is warm and waiting
You hum a tune you don't quite know
I'd know your step in any hallway
Scarlett, it's you that steadies me so

[Verse 2]
You burn the toast and laugh it off
Say the smoke alarm keeps us honest
I'd eat it black if you're the one
Who made it, sleeves rolled, hair a mess

[Bridge]
Some loves shout and some loves settle
Ours moved in soft, like morning light
You don't have to try to hold me
You already do, every night

[Chorus]
Scarlett, the pan is warm and waiting
You hum a tune you don't quite know
I'd know your step in any hallway
Scarlett, it's you that steadies me so

[Outro]
The butter's gone, the pan's gone cold
Still I'd know your step in the hall
