[Verse 1] I put some jazz in my kitchen And suddenly life’s worth living Coffee brewing, toes tapping on the floor Ain’t nobody keeping score anymore I’ve got nowhere special to be Just me and my quirky little symphony Some days I heal, some days I drift Today I’m calling all of it a gift [Pre-Chorus] I’m not chasing perfection anymore I left that version at the door Now I’m dancing with the woman I’ve become And she’s actually pretty fun [Chorus] I’ve got jazz in my kitchen And peace in my soul Learning life’s not something I’ve got to control A little bit of laughter A little bit of grace A little swing rhythm Helping me keep pace Ohhh… Life sounds sweeter these days Ohhh… When I get out of my own way [Verse 2] I’ve got plants to water and dreams to grow And random thoughts nobody needs to know Like how rainbows deserve standing ovations And naps should count as celebrations I spent so long trying to hold it together Now I’m choosing joy whenever Because ordinary moments have become My favorite kind of fun [Bridge] Stirring my coffee clockwise for luck Smiling because I’m still an odd duck The world can rush if it wants to, dear I’ll stay right here [Final Chorus] I’ve got jazz in my kitchen And gratitude too A little more peace Than I once knew I’ve seen some darkness So this light feels earned Funny how healing Can swing when it turns Ohhh… Life sounds sweeter these days Ohhh… When I get out of my own way [Outro] (spoken over music) Maybe happiness was never somewhere else… Maybe it was always dancing around my kitchen.
