Switch at the Snap

Low lights, slow night

Lipstick on my glass

Trumpet in the corner

Time moving too fast

Finger on the rim

Spinning this old drink

Laughing at the band

Trying not to think

Your eyes in the smoke

Cut across the room

Snare brushes the floor

Piano hums the tune

We were so smooth in the silence

Just a slow dance stuck in my head

Then the mood flipped, hit like sirens

Heart jumped when the beat dropped dead

One look, then the world rewound

Soft sway turned to body-rock sound

Started as jazz in my chest

Then it snapped to a rap in my breath (oh yeah)

Beat hit like a door slam

Bass shook my bones, damn

You laughed, grabbed my left hand

Pulled me to the floor, new plan

Sweat on your neckline, gold chain swing

Words in my mouth like they grew wings

Rhymes tripping out I ain't rehearsed

Every little curse in a half-verse

We were so smooth in the silence

Just a slow dance stuck in my head

Then the mood flipped, hit like sirens

Heart jumped when the beat dropped dead

One look, then the world rewound

Soft sway turned to body-rock sound

Started as jazz in my chest

Then it snapped to a rap in my breath (hey!)

Old souls in a brand-new track

You lean in, I don't lean back

Scat talk slipping into slang

Finger snaps bang into gangway chants

Classy chaos, all in one song

Wrong feels right, right feels wrong

You kiss, then the horns come in

And my verse can't hold it in

We were so smooth in the silence

Just a slow dance stuck in my head

Then the mood flipped, hit like sirens

Heart jumped when the beat dropped dead

One look, then the world rewound

Soft sway turned to body-rock sound

Started as jazz in my chest

Now it lives in this rap in my breath
