Paroles
[Verse 1]
Lights are low
Clock moves slow
City hums in a soft-time glow
High heels tapping on the floor
I’ve been here
But I want some more
Smoke in the air
Laughing loud
Shadows dancing through this crowd
[Chorus]
Midnight keeps swingin’
Swingin’ on me
Spinning this room into old movie scenes
Every little heartbeat falls in between
Midnight keeps swingin’
Swingin’ on me
Round after round till we lose all the schemes
We don’t go home
We just live in between
[Verse 2]
Red lipstick on a glass half-gone
Jukebox leaning on one last song
Stranger smiles like we’re old friends
Says
“One dance?” I just say
“When?”
Hands in the air
Rules on the shelf
I’m off the clock
Back to myself
[Chorus]
Midnight keeps swingin’
Swingin’ on me
Spinning this room into old movie scenes
Every little heartbeat falls in between
Midnight keeps swingin’
Swingin’ on me
Round after round till we lose all the schemes
We don’t go home
We just live in between
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s wrong that I stay this late (ooh)
Chasing that rush in a smoky haze
But every time I swear it’s the end
I hear that rhythm call me again
[Chorus]
Midnight keeps swingin’
Swingin’ on me
Spinning this room into old movie scenes
Every little heartbeat falls in between
Midnight keeps swingin’
Swingin’ on me
Round after round till we run out of schemes
We don’t go home
We just live in between (oh)
Lights are low
Clock moves slow
City hums in a soft-time glow
High heels tapping on the floor
I’ve been here
But I want some more
Smoke in the air
Laughing loud
Shadows dancing through this crowd
[Chorus]
Midnight keeps swingin’
Swingin’ on me
Spinning this room into old movie scenes
Every little heartbeat falls in between
Midnight keeps swingin’
Swingin’ on me
Round after round till we lose all the schemes
We don’t go home
We just live in between
[Verse 2]
Red lipstick on a glass half-gone
Jukebox leaning on one last song
Stranger smiles like we’re old friends
Says
“One dance?” I just say
“When?”
Hands in the air
Rules on the shelf
I’m off the clock
Back to myself
[Chorus]
Midnight keeps swingin’
Swingin’ on me
Spinning this room into old movie scenes
Every little heartbeat falls in between
Midnight keeps swingin’
Swingin’ on me
Round after round till we lose all the schemes
We don’t go home
We just live in between
[Bridge]
Maybe it’s wrong that I stay this late (ooh)
Chasing that rush in a smoky haze
But every time I swear it’s the end
I hear that rhythm call me again
[Chorus]
Midnight keeps swingin’
Swingin’ on me
Spinning this room into old movie scenes
Every little heartbeat falls in between
Midnight keeps swingin’
Swingin’ on me
Round after round till we run out of schemes
We don’t go home
We just live in between (oh)
Style de musique
Vintage big-band jazz with a modern polish; female vocals riding a walking upright bass and brushed snare. Verses stay smoky and intimate with muted trumpet fills and close-mic croon; chorus opens into full horn stabs, piano hits, and stacked background “ba-da-ba”s. Energy arcs from late-night lounge sway to a playful, danceable swing-out by the final hook., low, slow, soft
