(Song Title): If I (Would You Stay?) (Tempo): 122 BPM (Vibe): Deep, introspective, late-night groove, heavy Rhodes chords, soulful male vocal.
(Intro - 16 bars) (Groove sets in. A filtered Rhodes piano. Crisp hi-hats. A deep, pulsing k**k drum. A quiet, spoken vocal whispers...)
(Spoken) If I... Just... if I... (Ooh) Yeah. Listen.
(Verse 1) (Vocal comes in, half-sung, rhythmic) See you 'cross the room. Caught up in the lights. We're moving to the same groove, On this long... long night.
I got a hesitation. (Yeah) Been holding back so long. Scared of the complication, Scared of getting it wrong. But the way you look at me... (Ooh) It's breaking down my walls. I'm thinking 'bout a possibility... Thinking 'bout giving it all.
(Chorus) (Vocal opens up, more soulful, melodic) If I... opened my heart... If I... showed you this fragile part... (Tell me) Would you catch me if I fall? Or would you build another wall?
If I... (Yeah) let my feelings show... Would you be the one to know? (Would you be the one, baby?) Would you be the one to stay... Or would you just... walk away? (If I...)
(Verse 2) (Back to the rhythmic, half-sung groove) I've played this game before. (Mmm) Thought I knew the rules. Opened up the door... Ended up the fool.
But your rhythm... it feels different. (So different) Your soul... it feels so true. Got me second-guessing my commitment... To staying closed off from you. I wanna take the chance... (Yeah) I wanna trust this vibe. Wanna lose myself in this dance... And feel truly alive. But I gotta know... I gotta know...
(Chorus) (Full energy, layered vocals) If I... opened my heart... (If I opened my heart) If I... showed you this fragile part... (Showed you this part) Would you catch me if I fall? (Would you catch me?) Or would you build another wall? (Don't build a wall)
If I... let my feelings show... (Ooh) Would you be the one to know? (Would you be the one, baby?) Would you be the one to stay... Or would you just... walk away? (If I...)
(Bridge / Breakdown) (Music strips back down to k**k, hi-hats, and the Rhodes chord s**b)
(Spoken) If I... If I let go of the past? If I believed this thing could last? Would you meet me right here? Chase away the fear? (Yeah) If I gave you the key... To all of me... All of me... (B**t starts to build back up...) Tell me what you'd do... Tell me what you'd do...
(Outro / Chorus) (Music kicks back in fully. Ad-libs over the top.)
If I... opened my heart... (If I...) If I... showed you this fragile part... (Tell me what you'd do, baby) Would you catch me if I fall? (Or would you let me go?) Or would you build another wall?
If I... let my feelings show... (If I just let it show...) Would you be the one to know? (Would you be the one?) Would you be the one to stay... (Stay right here...) Or would you just... walk away?
(Fade Out) (Groove continues, vocals ad-lib and fade)
(If I...) (Mmm, If I...) (Just tell me, baby...) (If I... If I...) (Would you stay?) (Or walk away...) (Deep... de
