Streetlights flicker like a beat Midnight tapping on my feet City's breathing, so am I Moving with the neon sky Snap of fingers, step in time Bassline running through my spine Every corner's got a sound And I just let it pull me 'round A little sway in my walk Like the pavement can talk The rhythm’s in my chest And I can’t rest— Rhythm in the air — oh! Can you feel it everywhere? It’s the way the night unfolds Like a story yet untold Rhythm in the air — hey! Let it move you, let it stay We’re just dancers in the glow Groovin’ fast and breathin’ slow Skyscrapers hum in harmony Tires spin like symphony Heartbeat synced with distant horns Like the city knew I was born Billboard dreams above my head Echo words I’ve never said But I’m alive, and I’m aware Cause I can feel the— Jazz in the traffic jam Drums in the subway slam The rhythm’s everywhere And I’m just there— Rhythm in the air — oh! Can you feel it everywhere? It’s the way the night unfolds Like a story yet untold Rhythm in the air — hey! Let it move you, let it stay We’re just dancers in the glow Groovin’ fast and breathin’ slow Every light, every sound Spinnin’ me around No need for plans Just take my hand The world is on repeat With music in the street I’m floatin’ high To this lullaby
