Moving Whit Time

[Intro – Funk guitar chops | Punchy bassline | Tight snare + hi-hat groove | Sax stabs | Trumpet hits] [Verse 1 – rhythmic, playful phrasing] I cut my alarm clock off, Woke with a paper-dust halo stuck in my eyes. There was a brass-colored hum in my ribs, Like the room was still spinning from a dream. And my doubts came dressed like a cheap magician, Trying to pull me back under the sheet, But I laughed at the trick, let it slip through my hands, Stepped out the door with my head in the breeze. I’ve been living in circles, I’ve been circling back, Now I’m cracking the shell where the morning got trapped. [Backing vocals – short, funky responses] Oh, oh, oh… for sure. [Pre-Chorus – building groove] Tiny tremor in my knees, but I shake it loose. Floorboards answering back when I put in the groove. No rearview talk, no static on my line, I got a spark in the pocket of this crooked little mind. If I wobble, let me wobble, I’m still moving through, Turning all that scattered noise into a brighter hue. [Chorus – big, catchy, funky] Get a move on, don’t you freeze now. Flip the whole frame, let your body spell it out. Left then right, let the orbit shift. Keep it alive, watch the whole room lift. Get a move on, keep it breathing now. Spin that old hush into a jagged howl. Even in the dim, let your colors flood. Keep on rolling till the rhythm turns to blood. [Verse 2 – smooth, confident] I step into the doorway, got sunrise on my sleeve, Purple in the puddles where the buses breathe. There’s a grin in my posture, a pulse in my shoes, Like the street got a secret and it handed me clues. Every doubt starts melting in the heat of the curb, Every little beginning gets a wilder curve. [Backing vocals] Uh, uh… oh yeah. I hear the whole block humming, got a pulse in the bricks. Every crack in the sidewalk got a spark and a twist. I don’t need it polished, just a moment that’s true. So I sway with the day like I got nothing to prove. [Pre-Chorus – variation] Feel that pressure, but it slips right through. Turn it into color, turn it into glue. Every little step got me shedding the mold. Even when it shakes me, I’m bright and untold. [Chorus] Get a move on, don’t you freeze now. Flip the whole frame, let your body spell it out. Left then right, let the orbit shift. Keep it alive, watch the whole room lift. Get a move on, keep it breathing now. Spin that old hush into a jagged howl. Even in the dim, let your colors flood. Keep on rolling till the rhythm turns to blood. [Verse 3 – more energy, playful attitude] Tap that lamp, let the corners bloom. Turn the stale old air into electric perfume. Got this stillness in motion, but I’m not stuck. Like a record in a thunderstorm, I keep my luck. If the shadows get nosy, I just grin and stray, Making moonlight out of static in the middle of the day. [Backing vocals] Oh, oh… keep it going. Always in motion, never boxed in place. Got a zigzag smile and a glitch in my grace. If the whole world’s turning, I can turn with the heat. Pulling gold out the gravel, making strange sounds sweet. [Bridge – stripped down, then builds] Slow it down, just a second… breathe it in deep. All that leftover thunder, you don’t have to keep. Let it slip, let it drift, let it break into foam. There’s a wild little engine in your chest, call it home. Now bring it back, feel the horns, feel the spark. Let the bassline prowl and the drums mark the dark. You’re alive in the second, don’t let it go thin. Every crooked small step is a doorway within. [Chorus – final, biggest energy] Get a move on, don’t you freeze now. Flip the whole frame, let your body spell it out. Left then right, let the orbit shift. Keep it alive, watch the whole room lift. Get a move on, keep it breathing now. Spin that old hush into a jagged howl. Even in the dim, let your colors flood. Keep on rolling till the rhythm turns to blood. [Outro – fade with groove, ad-libs] Oh yeah… keep it moving, don’t stop. Let it sway, let it sway, let it sway. Spinning through that velvet wire. Feels so strange, yeah, it feels so right. [Electronical Bass Guitar Fade out] Oh, oh, oh… for sure. Keep it glowing… evermore.
