===I Would For You===
This is the only known version. A beat loop characterised by quick double kicks opens this track, with deep bass and quiet vocals creating the first verse. Choruses open up with a simpler, clearer drum loop, a different bassline, and strange guitar layering that acts like a strings keyboard patch, creating a large stage for Reznor's loud and echoing vocals. The second chorus is followed by a new distorted guitar riff, which repeats as synth and percussion layers build; these eventually give way to a solitary piano melody, which quietly segues into "[[In Two]]" in a method recalling "[[Lights In The Sky (song)|Lights in the Sky]]" becoming "[[Corona Radiata]]" on ''[[The Slip]]''.
==Live==This song was a setlist rarity - it debuted live on the [[2013/09/28 St. Paul, MN|first night]] of the [[Tension 2013 Tour]], but was only played four more times on that tour and never since. It featured backing vocals by [[Lisa Fischer]] and [[Sharlotte Gibson]]. ==Lyrics=== What a pathetic string of words Just leave them lying on the floor The warning posted on the door Not over here, not anymore There was a place it that could have been Step over all that used to be Since you have let 've invited yourself come in Some things I'd rather you not see See like a light into I keep lying to myself Don't know what else there is to do If I could be somebody else Well , I think I would for you Didn't it seem like something more? So long I can't remember when All And this has happened all before And this will happen all again And I only have myself to blame And I only have myself to blame See like a light into I keep lying to myself Don't know what else there is to do If I could be somebody else Well , I think I would for you See like a light into myself Don't know what else there In the final version of the song, the second to last line in the first verse is changed to do: If I could be somebody else Well I think I would for Since youhave let yourself come in
