[Verse 1]
Tell me how you really feel
So I know it's really real
And won't you let your guard down?
If there's a reason you're holdin' back
I'd rather know now
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when you kiss me, you had your eyes open
And there's something that I need to know
[Chorus]
If I walked out the door
Would you even notice I'm gone?
Would you even miss me at all?
Would you, would you?
If I walked out the door
Would you care enough to follow?
Would you even miss me at all?
Would you, would you, you? (You, you)
[Verse 2]
Don't go wastin' my time
I play games enough to see through a lie
And I wonder how you talk 'bout us
Do you light up when you start to speak?
If I even cross your mind at all
[Pre-Chorus]
When you kiss me, you had your eyes open
And there's something that I need to know
[Chorus]
If I walked out the door
Would you even notice I'm gone?
Would you even miss me at all?
Would you, would you?
If I walked out the door
Would you care enough to follow?
Would you even miss me at all?
Would you, would you, you?
[Bridge]
Would you even miss me at all, babe?
Would you even miss me? (Would you?)
Would you even miss me at all, babe?
Would you even miss me? (You, you)
[Pre-Chorus]
When you kiss me, you had your eyes open
And there's something that I need to know
[Chorus]
If I walked out the door
Would you even notice I'm gone?
Would you even miss me at all?
Would you, would you?
If I walked out the door
Would you care enough to follow?
Would you even miss me at all?
Would you, would you, you?
[Outro]
Would you even miss me at all, babe?
Would you even miss me?
Would you even miss me at all, babe?
Would you even miss me?

James:
I think ‘Would You’ was really interesting for me because I’m a big fan of John Mayer and the very early demo that Brad first put together made me think of John Mayer.
Brad:
It started off on the Rhodes and then I knew that I wanted to have the verse and the pre-chorus really wide ’80s atm...
Yes! A blossom session.
