EASY ON THE EYES [INTRO – Delicate detuned melody, tactile percussion, deep sub-bass] [Soft, wordless female melody] [VERSE 1 – Intimate textured female alto, irregular melodic phrasing] You liked me best in profile With the city at my back Said I looked like I was trouble Then got nervous when I laughed You were tracing all the outlines Making up the rest of me Funny how a little distance Makes it easy to believe [PRE-CHORUS – Vocal rises into a delicate upper register] Come a little closer If you really wanna see There’s a whole lot more to me Than what you think you need [CHORUS – Beautiful, fluid melody, unexpected close harmonies] Easy on the eyes Harder to get right You can like the picture But I won’t stand still all night Easy on the eyes Look a little longer I can be the sweetness I can be the bite [POST-CHORUS – Wordless high melody woven through the rhythm] Ah-ah, ah-ah Mm, ah-ah [VERSE 2 – More rhythmic, conversational, playful] You keep calling me mysterious When I tell you what I mean I don’t think it’s that confusing You just liked the in-between You like how I say your name When I’m trying not to smile But you change the conversation When I speak my mind [PRE-CHORUS – Rising melody, warm low vocal doubles] Come a little closer If you really wanna see There’s a whole lot more to me Than what you think you need [CHORUS – Full melodic lift, rich harmonies] Easy on the eyes Harder to get right You can like the picture But I won’t stand still all night Easy on the eyes Look a little longer I can be the sweetness I can be the bite [BRIDGE – Exposed melodic vocal, delicate suspended harmony] You don’t have to understand Every little part of me But don’t tell me what I am When you’ve barely looked at me [FINAL CHORUS – Expressive high notes against deep sub-bass] Easy on the eyes Harder to get right You can like the picture But I won’t stand still all night Easy on the eyes Look a little longer I can be the sweetness I can be the bite [OUTRO – Fragmented upper harmonies and detuned melody] Easy on the eyes… Look a little longer. [Final resonant bass note]
