Hmm
I slide through the changes like a hand on the keys
Major seven tension begging for release
Bass line walking slow with a pocket so deep
Got the whole room floating, nobody sleeps
I talk in intervals, fourths and fifths collide
Blue notes in my bloodstream, moonlight in my stride
Every wrong turn swings till it sounds just right
Like a bent note hanging at the edge of night
Ride that progression
Let it pull me downstream
Half of life is tension
Half of life is release
Notes falling together
Like rain on a tin roof
Every song is a question
Every groove is the truth
Mmm
Got rhythm in my body and a syncopated soul
Every little stumble helps the melody unfold
The drummer skips a heartbeat and everybody grins
That's where the magic sneaks back in
The sax plays a solo, takin' us much higher
While the piano comps behind it, adding fuel to the fire
And the bass keeps talking like an old best friend
Saying,"Nothing really ends, it resolves again"
We stretch out the meter, we bend the time
Walking on a tightrope, stepping out of line
Every little worry that you dragged through the door
Gets buried in the kick drum shaking the floor
Ride that progression
Like a river through time
Every chord is a doorway
Every doorway's alive
Notes falling together
Like stars finding their place
We're all little melodies
Following the base
