[Intro] A slow trumpet plays a lonely tune [Verse] In the corner of a dimly lit bar I'm pouring out my heart into a jar The rhythm of the music, it takes me away To a place where my troubles don't stay [Chorus] But oh, the jive makes me happy (happy) Even though my heart's a mess (mess) I'll keep on swinging, got no regrets (regrets) In this 1950's swing, I find my rest [Verse 2] The dance floor's crowded, the air is thick With the scent of memories, I take a risk To feel alive, to feel something real In this melancholic swing, I reveal my deal [Chorus] I'll keep on swinging, it's my escape (escape) From the demons that haunt me in my sleep (sleep) The melody's my shelter, the rhythm's my peace (peace) In this 1950's swing, my soul's released [Outro] The music fades, I'm left with a trace Of a catchy tune that's etched in my brain [Ending] A last note lingers, a trumpet's wane
