Matt has also mentioned to Billboard: 'The song comes from when you do get a bit burnt out from being on the road for too long [...] “Something Human” came out, which is a more tender, down-to-earth, simplistic song about what it feels like to be burned out and wanting to get home to a more normal life after being on the road for a couple years.'

Lyrics

My circuits have blown

I know its self imposed And all I have shared And all I have loved Is all I have known But something has changed I feel so alive My life just blew up I'll give it all up I'll depressurize

10000 miles left on the road 500 hours until I'm home I need something human, human

Lets face all our fears Come out of the shade Lets burn all the money Absolve all the lies And wake up unscathed The big picture is gone Replaced with visions of you Now life can begin I've cleansed all my sins I'm about to break through

5000 hours left on the road 200 hours until I'm home I need something human, human And I need the touch And something human

Less than a mile left on the road I'll be crawling though your door I need something human, human And I need your love And something human, human.
