SEROTONIN [Intro — filtered emotional chords, airy wordless vocals] Ooh—ooh Ooh—ooh Feels good to be alive Take a little of mine [Verse 1 — close, rhythmic vocal; gritty pick-bass enters] Saving my life for a Saturday Letting the other six slip away Waiting for something to turn out right While the sun came up another time This morning I took the long way Windows down on an ordinary day Caught myself singing at a red light Didn’t need a reason why [Pre-Chorus — chords open; metallic hats build] Still got things I’m working out Still got days that weigh me down It ain’t all good— But there’s good all around [Chorus — warm melody against sharp saw chords] Serotonin Feels good to be alive Got a little extra— Take a little of mine Serotonin Let it out into the night If you need a little sunshine Take a little of mine [Drop — punchy four-on-the-floor kick, heavy sidechain pump] Take a little— Take a little of mine Ooh—ooh Feels good to be alive Take a little— Take a little of mine Ooh—ooh Serotonin [Verse 2 — stripped groove; playful, percussive delivery] You came in with your shoulders high Said, “Long week,” with a tired smile Left your jacket on the kitchen chair I put a record on and left you there Came back in, you were moving your feet Singing the wrong words over the beat You took my hand, pulled me off the wall Guess I needed it most of all [Pre-Chorus — rising tension; bass briefly drops out] Nothing fixed and nothing solved But we don’t feel so small It ain’t all good— But there’s good all around [Chorus — fuller vocal, airy oohs behind the melody] Serotonin Feels good to be alive Got a little extra— Take a little of mine Serotonin Let it out into the night If you need a little sunshine Take a little of mine [Drop — chopped vocal response, funky bass fills] Take a little— Take a little of mine Ooh—ooh Feels good to be alive Take a little— Take a little of mine Ooh—ooh Serotonin [Bridge — vulnerable half-spoken vocal; warm chords, no drums] Honestly… I haven’t always felt like this. I’ve let the phone ring. I’ve said, “I’m fine.” I’ve watched the daylight leave the room With the curtains closed. Somebody came over. Sat on the floor. Stayed till I felt like talking. I still think about that. [Build — whispered phrase grows; snare tension rises] So if you need a little— Take a little of mine Ooh—ooh We’ve still got tonight [One-beat silence] Feels good to be alive [Final Chorus / Drop — full euphoric release] Serotonin Feels good to be alive Got a little extra— Take a little of mine Serotonin Let it out into the night If you need a little sunshine Take a little of mine [Outro — filter closes; fading vocal echoes] Take a little— Take a little of mine Ooh—ooh Serotonin Feels good to be alive…
