  • The next song wasn't really ever gonna make it on the record.

  • This song's...

  • We always remember about it, 'cause our record just came out in May.

  • But... this thing, we always remember about this song.

  • It wasn't gonna be on the record. I wrote it over the break...

  • right when I met my wife, and it was this situation where she had...

  • We had met and it was good, it was big, strong, it was gonna happen...

  • and she suddenly had this revelation that she was dating a musician.

  • Scared the hell outta her. "I don't want to. That's not gonna work. "

  • And so I wrote this song, it's kinda like a letter to her.

  • It's funny, because people said: "Did you guys break up?"

  • No, it's "If You're Gone". You have to pay attention.

  • So I wrote it, I played if for Paul and he was like, "Yeah, it's nice. "

  • We were in the studio mullin' it over, and we had a version of it...

  • that we thought was so much fun, it seemed such a sweet little song.

  • It needed to have a place on the album and we're glad that we did...

  • 'cause it turned out to be one of our favorite songs, so...

  • I think I've already lost you

  • I think you're already gone

  • I think I'm finally scared now

  • You think I'm weak But I think you're wrong

  • I think you're already leaving

  • Feels like your hand Is on the door

  • And I thought this place was an empire

  • But now I'm relaxed And I can't be sure

  • I think you're so mean I think we should try

  • I think I could need this In my life

  • And I think I'm scared But I think too much

  • I know it's wrong It's a problem I'm dealing

  • If you're gone

  • Maybe it's time to come home

  • 'Cause there's an awful lot of breathing room

  • But I can hardly move

  • If you're gone

  • Baby you need to come home

  • Come home

  • There's a little bit of something me In everything, In you

  • And I bet you're hard to get over

  • And I bet the room just won't shine

  • But I bet my hands I can stay here And I bet you need

  • More than you mind

  • I think you're so mean I think we should try

  • I think I could need this In my life

  • And I think I'm scared that I know too much

  • I can't relate And that's a problem I'm feeling

  • If you're gone

  • Maybe it's time to come home

  • There's an awful lot of breathing room

  • But I can hardly move

  • If you're gone

  • Baby you need to come home

  • Come home

  • There's a little bit of something me In everything, In you

  • I think you're so mean I think we should try

  • I think I could need this In my life

  • And I think I'm scared do I talk too much

  • I know it's wrong It's a problem I'm dealing

  • If you're gone

  • Maybe it's time to come home

  • There's an awful lot of breathing room

  • But I can hardly move

  • Well, If you're gone

  • Yeah, baby you need to come home

  • Come home

  • There's a little bit of something me In everything, In

  • You

  • - Something me - In everything

  • Something me

  • In you

  • Thank you very much.

  • Thank you very much.

The next song wasn't really ever gonna make it on the record.
