[ATMOSPHERIC INTRO: ticking detail, sparse guitar and suspended space] [VERSE 1: restrained vocals over slow harmonic movement ents] Sometimes you’re so distant I can barely see you standing there It’s a mystery why you’re so resistant When you could be as close as air If you wanted to If you wanted to Salt on my tongue Air in my lungs [INSTRUMENTAL EXPANSION: guitar and orchestral texture broaden] [VERSE 2: vocal material returns within a changed atmospheric context] Can you come closer? And verify you’re human? Protect me from exposure As you shine like the sun? C’mon, then verify you’re human Cuz I want you, but I don’t need you Like salt on my tongue Sometimes I don’t want you, but I need you Like air in my lungs [EXTENDED INSTRUMENTAL DEVELOPMENT: lead guitar, strings and rhythm section progressively dominate] Verify you’re human [MAJOR CRESCENDO: maximum guitar/orchestral density and dissonance] Verify you’re human [EXTENDED INSTRUMENTAL DEVELOPMENT: intensity dissipates rather than resolving conventionally] [OUTRO: suspended atmosphere and unresolved emotional residue] Can you come closer? And verify you’re human? Help me keep my composure As you harness the sun? C’mon, verify you’re human Cuz I want you, but I don’t need you Like salt on my tongue Sometimes I don’t want you, but I need you Like air in my lungs Verify you're human Verify you're human
