[intro - jazz fusion guitar]

Verse

I've rehearsed every word, every stumble and start

But the silence still echoes louder than my heart

Should I wait, should I speak, do I dare to believe?

Or will hope be the thief that makes me grieve?

And I've seen that smile, like a secret you lend

A spark in your glance that could break or could bend

And if risk feels too reckless, too costly to give

Then let your lips say this is proof positive

Pre-Chorus

Do you want me, do you need me,

I've been asking myself for so long

How could you want me, how could you need me,

What happens if I am wrong?

[chorus - high energy with female lead vocal and female backing vocals]

No more doubt, (no doubt) no more to forgive (to forgive)

Let your love be proof positive (proof positive)

The look in your eyes (your eyes), the life that I live (i live)

This is proof-proof positive (proof positive)

Verse

Maybe I misread the silence and the space

But I'd rather fall forward than fade in place

If there's no signal, no light, no sign I should move

Then I'll speak with my heart - that's my proof

[Rap section - vocal is a rap with no accompaniment except drums]

So I stand here, no answers, just my voice and a beat

But I'd trade every fear for a chance to meet

Whatever you're feeling, let it live, let it give

'Cause if love needs its signal - this is proof positive

[solo - lead guitar with jazz fusion style]

Pre-Chorus

Do you want me, do you need me,

I've been asking myself for so long

How could you want me, how could you need me,

What happens if I am wrong?

[chorus - high energy with female lead vocal and female backing vocals]

No more doubt, (no doubt) no more to forgive (to forgive)

Let your love be proof positive (proof positive)

The look in your eyes (your eyes), the life that I live (i live)

This is proof-proof positive (proof positive)

[outro - lead guitar with jazz fusion style playing call and response]

Soul. Jazz fusion. Female blue-eyed soul lead singer. Female back vocals singing close harmonies throughout. The song is very soulful throughout but the Chorus is very high energy. Rap section is just vocal and drum beat. Solos and fills are lead guitar playing jazz fusion licks. Bass and drums are very prominent. The bass is very soulful. Drums are very active playing jazz soul fills.
