(ahh) Slide in easy, let the room get small I
keep my tone low,
let the thought land clean No glitter on the frame,
just the grain in the scene Heel on the floor with a
late-night lean Kick and the snare stay tucked in between Hammond in
the corner, stirring up steam Wurly put a crease in the heart
of the theme I don't chase loud,
I let the line mean Every little pause says more than it
seems Keep it mellow,
keep it tight
Hold me close inside the rhyme tonight Slow groove turning under every
line I say it soft and still it hits just right Keep
it mellow, keep it tight Warm keys glowing in the low lamplight
I learned the weight of a hush in a crowded bar How
a small truth cuts deeper than a bragged scar Turntable dust like
a note from where we are Bass walk slow while the keys
leave the door ajar I thread calm through the pocket,
never too far Let the snare talk back with a soft little
mark
When I lift that tone to the edge of a star The
room bends in and remembers my heart
I don't need a flood to show the shore
Just one good line and a little more (ooh)
If you stay still,
you can feel the floor Keep it mellow,
keep it tight
Hold me close inside the rhyme tonight Slow groove turning under every
line I say it soft and still it hits just right Keep
it mellow, keep it tight Warm keys glowing in the low lamplight
Keep it mellow, keep it tight
Keep it mellow
Keep it tight (ahh)
Late light, low line
