"If I Walk Away" Lyrics:
Lately, I've been the quiet one
Waiting searching the lines of the songs you played for me
Sailing into the misty air
Fading bound for I don't know where
When I'm there I'll see
And If I walk away
Please follow me
If I walk away
Please follow me
Weightless drifting through stars I got
Faithless woke in the dark and I made this from my dream
Play me all your sweet rhymes
Recreate me, now comes the time when I'll need your truth to see
So if I walk away
Please follow me
Yeah if I walk away
Please follow me
Walk away
Let the fear fall away
Into the fire you made
Scarlet and gold
Walk away
Head for the light of day
Follow a brighter way
Out of the cold and dark
Down to the one bright spark
Futures that all might start
Someday
So if I walk away
Please follow me
If I walk away
Please follow me
Fragments shells of a long ago lifetime
Faces that once were mine
Thrown down by the sea
So if I walk away
Please follow me
Yes if I walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Would you please follow me

Listen to these lyrics... Josh doesn't sing about shallow things. He is one beautiful soul, sent here to deliver a message to all of us, that hope and love exist to carry us over troubled times. Rejoice in his talent, his serenity, his beauty, his spirituality, and his ability to give voice to our deepest hopes.

[@blanchedornier4795]

I feel sad for this Bad news ' I'll do all I Can to help you Josh ❤

[@2012BeyondtheWorld]

You are describing God

[@quilijohn8634]

He is a very intelligent man….. I hope he takes care of himself & not give up. God bless him.

[@Jenniflute_ATLien]

All I'm going to say is, "Well done to both Chris and Josh!!!!" I have followed Josh's music for 10 yrs and am astounded at how much he has grown musically and vocally since he first started out. I have had the fortunate chance to see him in concert twice and both times were well worth the money & time spent. As for the loneliness seen in the video, Josh hopefully will find that special someone that will love him no matter what he does, career or personal life wise. Keep up the good work, Josh!!

[@katerinawsy]

You can tell that Josh is a quality artist by the comments he gets on his video. There aren't many "OMG he's so hot" or "I love you!!". Instead, the content leans towards meaningful, thankful, and awe. Josh is doing a great job of holding his own and sticking to the music he wants to sing. Thank you for your music, Josh!

[@JoePlaysRS]

I'm 15 and used to listen to rap and other bad music. Josh led me to the real stuff and I can't help but thank him. This song makes me so happy :)

[@christinemclatchie]

OMGosh!! You must be 26 yrs old now! You’re a champion for putting the ‘bad’ music behind you, and listening to real heartfelt songs… I only found Josh about 2yrs ago, and it wasn’t the type of music I would normally listen to…but I fell in love with Josh’s voice and the music. I hope everything is going well for you in your life, and that you’re happy in whatever career you’ve chosen. Even if you fix punctures on tyres for a living, you’re just as significant as a Company Director… I was listening to Josh tonight and thought I’d check out his latest itinerary, and some other things on his website that I’d never looked up before. He has hoodies lol! But there are no concerts for 2023 as far as I could see… I don’t go to concerts anymore, but by gosh (Josh!) I would pay the money to see him!! Take care young man Blessings from Australia 🙏

[@evanorange]

Josh is a serious songwriter-singer and goes with his heart. How fortunate for us that he also has a wonderful sense of humor and shares his talent with the world. Thanks Josh! We adore you!

[@FoxFanFla2]

Josh, you have given people so much in your music. Just hope you know that, you are a special person, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You've given so much to us the fans and the future fans who haven't heard you yet. Thank you! Yes, I am a Grobanite, too..

[@christinemorrall]

Can't get enough of this wonderful man with a beautiful voice 😍

[@ChristineMorrall-k8x]

He has hundreds of thousands of fans but it isn't the same as having that special person who is there with you always and forever ❤️♾️❤️♾️

[@leegist3576]

I will be that special someone for him. I will make the sacrifice. Only 70, got lots of good years left. Elizabeth Lee Gist

[@llwh86]

It's always scary when you hear a song that expresses exactly what you're feeling at that moment but couldn't quite articulate. "Illuminations" indeed. Thank you, Josh and Chris, this is a truly beautiful video.

[@leandracleo72]

the thing that I love the most about Josh and his music is that when you see him live - he sounds just the same - no lip syncing for this man - total, pure, amazing talent who makes the world a better place and his voice can make the saddest person smile ;-) xx

[@noondarkly]

Undoubtedly the most personal, genuine, truly touching video we have seen from Josh. He bares himself to the bone and the question is, do we take him as he is or do we still see the image of him that we want to see? Chris did a magnificent job and it's a delight to see how the two brothers created this together. As for Josh, he loves us so dearly he is ready to show us his moments of strength and weakness. Let us not let him down.

[@AdmiralTMoya]

Josh Groban is like Patsy Cline, he has that lovely natural voice that needs no enhancing, no fancy studio tweeking. He stands on his on. Josh is one of the best singers of this century, you cannot improve upon the natural love and lilt in his voice. He is a natural.

[@enriquezruby8796]

It's now Jan 2020 and this song still stirs my soul. Thank you Josh Groban for sharing your phenomenal voice with us.

[@alicia4clay]

They are relaxing... but his voice is just wonderful... So glad we have a few young man that love this kind of sing.ing.. No nasty words.. or swearing.. God bless you Josh....

[@JustAnnie51]

What a powerful song,, straight from the heart. I would follow you, not because your a celebrity, but because you are a beautiful human being with a loving heart. Been listening to your music for the past 10 years. You give so much to your fans and have the most wonderful sense of humor,, you are loved!

[@thelisabarone]

Josh, if you can read this, I want to say: I am so proud of you. I've been a fan of yours since I was 10, so that's 10 years now. I can say I never stopped loving your God given talent, your wonderful personality and your musical spirit. You walk without airs and especially because I'm a singer myself, your music speaks to me in ways I can't even expel. I love you Josh Groban. You're my hero.

[@haditagrobanite8553]

Yo no puedo describir con exactitud lo que la música de Josh me hace sentir, pero si es necesario decirlo con una sola palabra esa es MAGIA!

[@ouiseylou]

I don’t think I fully appreciated this video until now. It was made by Groban’s brother, Chris and it’s simply beautiful. Reflecting the song perfectly it is bittersweet and artistic. Sometimes he’s on his own, sometimes he’s among friends, fans and fellow performers. At times he does seem lonely but at others he’ll smile or laugh. It’s not cheesy and it doesn’t try to make Josh look attractive, it’s just him.

[@Drakyessi]

Me encanto!... Mi sueño? Ver cantar en vivo a Josh algún día en esta vida.... Seria de lo mejor que me podria pasar. :)

[@alexfong2940]

I think my favorite part about Josh Groban is that he is such a playful, innocent, loving person, and then when he opens his mouth an angel climbs out and kisses you softly.

[@michelemcguire8995]

We are all angels in the flesh..and when our true Heavenly FATHER returns to claim his bride ( us) we shall she'd theses flesh suits and our spirits shall be freed from theses bodies..at the very sound of the last Trump..the furthest one out..( the 7th) we will all be changed into our spiritual bodies and be forever with our heavenly Father

[@veronicapulido9319]

Its a Josh Groban kind of day... his voice is just soothingly beautiful....

[@wulfgang1234]

Josh, I will never walk away from you and your music. It speaks to my heart. Please don't you walk away from us that love you so much. Chris - Atlanta

[@ginocandia1516]

😊😁I'm very pleased to know I'm not the only one that loves the song but when last did you play it.

[@sueperlinger5417]

Do you think he understands how much his fans love to listen to him wonderful

[@MsJennabooh]

I've seen him in concert and he is just as genuine and down to earth as he seems. Isn't that what it is all about? He isn't "packaged" and shipped off like so many now days. He stands for something..and backs it up, with his devotion to his fans.

[@christinemclatchie]

Oh it would’ve been wonderful to see Josh in concert!! I only discovered him recently (2yrs ago lol) and he is incredible in every way! Not just any old singer, but a very gifted, humble and beautiful man inside and out. Only tonight did I decide to find out more about him, and to find an itinerary… We’ll no concerts for 2023, so I was very disappointed 😢 I haven’t been to a concert of any sort for well over 20 yrs now, but I would go and see Josh tomorrow if I knew he was coming to where I am. Just another JG fan 😅 Love from Australia 😊

[@marlenedaltonadams3278]

He is playing Sweeney Todd in the play on Broadway😊

[@shopirlika]

His songs are all so kind and relaxing....gives me goosebumps!

[@beeanca13]

his voice is angelic and has more talent than anyone in the music business right now.

[@anunordinarycellist]

As someone responding to an 11 year old comment, this hasn't aged very well lol the music business is still shit, but Josh is still the best!!

[@seakat1980]

This is a really wonderful and heartfelt video. It shows Josh as we as fan do not often see..It show the Love and Comment that it takes to go around the world and bring his music to us..To see someone so famous to stop and take a moment and meet his fans both at his concerts and on the street is something that we do not see anymore..I love that video has a personal touch to it..I have to say this is the BEST video to date Josh.. Great JOB :-)

[@maryanneramer]

I love how approachable he seems every time I've seen him. He seems like such a nice guy with this to-die-for voice. He's been in my top five since the days of Ally McBeal.

[@roberthiggins8907]

It's midnight in Maui, and the world has gone quiet so I turn to my computer and find you, and your music lets me find the passion for the day to come. Thank you for who you are. Merry Christmas...

[@lauramoore8670]

A purely angelic voice, a great personality, super nice, has a good job, amazing smile, good with kids, has a pupper, AND shirtless?!?!? Seriously - what more could a girl want???

[@ginocandia1516]

😊😁I'm very pleased to know I'm not the only one that loves the song but when last did you play it.

[@Agapesgate]

Don't ever Walk Away.....from what you know, to be right and true. The One who follows us is only a step behind, and actually walks beside us, carrying us on other times, when our strength seems gone.

[@sandrasandiford1]

I thank God for Josh Groban, and at the time he come to us, at a time where good music is becoming extinct. Thank you Josh for your clean, fresh, wholesome , and intelligent being, and talent. I hear you non stop, infact your'e all I hear being that I can't tolerate today's music.

[@JustBenNotBenjamin]

Such voice, so skill, many sing... wow... Seriously, though, Josh, you have a great voice and sing great songs to go with it. Adding on the fact that you sing your songs with such soul, you are a GREAT artist.

[@theEumenides]

You truly make the world a more beautiful place. We all thank you.

[@saffroncostello4136]

I can't help it. I love listening to Josh Groban.

[@timpanist]

Josh just gets better and better. If you get a chance to hear him live on his next 'In The Round' tour, GO!!! He actually sounds better live than on CD, if that is humanly possible!

[@MaryCooksMemorableDishes]

Every song you sing is so awesomely beautiful. Almost brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful,.....absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift to the world. Many many blessings. So good to see a face to the gift. (:

[@MsJennabooh]

so well said Mary

[@flowerpetal70]

I don't usually leave comments under artists videos, some on newer people trying to be discovered but not on these types. I have been a fan of Josh Groban's for years now and his voice is really remarkable. I can imagine that as a artist, and as big as he has become, his life is not only lonely, but very empty. He loves his fans, music, and family but at some point each of us comes to the plateau to make a change. Maybe, it's that time for him. What ever he does he brings passion and honesty2 it

[@Autumn-je8hm]

I love how this is almost like a vlog!!

[@patriciamorris427]

I'm 76 years old and never in my life have I ever heard the quality and the death of this young man Josh Groban and I was involved with a little bitter quotes Show Business my father was on TV on CBS in Charlotte North Carolina and I saw a lot of people going a lot of people come and I had the advantage to meet and a number of art different artists and singers and bands and dancers and in my opinion which doesn't mean it, conquer the world but in my opinion Josh Groban is the best thing that ever happened at the most perfect time he could happen his voice is the best his mannerisms is his continued ality his personality his sense of humor I always ever since I heard Josh decided that he was the best of all the best of all the best never will there be a voice like his not even Elvis struck me like this young man does nor Frank Sinatra and any of the top name singers going down the line he's the best of the best of the very best

[@patriciamorris427]

That's just the way I see it I'm completely taken with him more than Dean Martin Bobby Rydell any of them he has got a fantastic voice

[@erikadudley6438]

That's the great thing about music; everyone can take away something completely different from a song!

[@countingstrides4068]

I walked away from his songs, but I am back having a Groba-thon.

[@bonnielou]

Seems like yesterday when he sang with Bocelli, as stand-in for Celine Dion, but it was 1999. Great journey, Josh, and thank you again, Mr. Foster.

[@hillarycorby2388]

I ADORE him!

[@style8strawberry]

Did anyone see that when Josh is sitting by the tank he was in the same position and had the same look on his face as the kid behind him? That was amazing direction! The full color transition during the crescendo towards the end reminded me of the Wizard of Oz. Also, seeing Josh in a video with his glasses on (other than when he is singing tweets) makes the video a little more personal! Best and realist on by FAR! Congrats Josh!

[@jewellegomez3585]

Such a great song. Josh looks as handsome as ever. His dog is so cute!!! =)

[@ShannonLea1218]

It seems Josh is growing up. Grateful to share in his journey.

[@anaritakan8300]

Josh, humble and simply amazing, his song touch our heart and soul.He is a gift from God!

[@AshesIN4beauty]

Josh, I know you get the same message from millions of people but you are truly inspiring. your music has the ability to synchronize with my most intense emotions. thank you for sharing your gift with the world. it is an incredible blessing to listen to your art. literally one of my greatest hopes is that I will be able to hear you sing live. thanks again, Josh!

[@kellyhuffman5082]

I love u josh please don't walk way we will never walk from u we all love u u have a gorgeous voice u do speak to our harts when u sings with Celine Dion and lost of others its just gorgeous God bless u

[@virginiafarmer5853]

Wow. Love to hear him sing anything

[@gabriellekinnish2340]

i agree with you that his grace and humility make me respect him.i like it when famous people are like that because they dont think they are better than those of us who live normal lives.and his voice alone is enough to make me like him.

[@aboutAbbaBiz]

I love the depth of your voice with (to me) seems to be Operatic training. I appreciate your parents who noticed the gift in your voice and the provision to bring out it's beauty.

[@deborahhanson1313]

Sometimes we have to walk away from trying to please everyone and we should listen to our heart,mind and soul. Listen to which is good for the soul

[@brendabella1000]

I felt in love with Josh since the first moment i listened his voice and every time I hear a song, i fall more in love. He sings so clear and makes me feel what he sings

[@BBH101]

I love any music that moves me. There are even Christian rap singers. Not preaching here, but the message is everything for me.

[@frost3239]

Love this, really touches me

[@caridadilano9934]

Josh, I almost walk away when I got ill few months back, you guide me back to the light,!thanks so much.

[@ginnyl.6818]

IF YOU WALK AWAY, YES, I WILL FOLLOW YOU! IF YOU WALK AWAY, YES I WILL FOLLOW YOU! IF YOU WALK AWAY, YES I WILL FOLLOW YOU! TAKE CARE, I AM WITH YOU IN LOVE, AND SPIRIT SAYS THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST! THANKS, I LOVE THIS SONG! GOD BLESS YOU!

[@StarSaber7]

You know one thing I like about Josh Groban...NO FRIGGIN' AUTOTUNE!! Pure talent, nothing fake and truly the genuine article.

[@laneuhler873]

This is the best music video I have ever seen! :) Great job!

[@seapie1]

c'est le miracle Josh Groban, quand on le rencontre, on est envoûtés !

[@meiritanasution6809]

Hola Josh.. Semoga suatu hari nanti aku bisa nontonmu langsung..

[@aidang8332]

Meirita Nasution ..amiiin

[@rumon_ahmed]

10 years of listening to this beautiful song. I hope it continues to give me the feeling of 'Blissful Melancholia' as long as I live. Dear Josh Groban, you are a Godsend.

[@andreapatane4204]

This song from Josh Groban seems interesting even though I never heard it on the radio before his popularity disappeared. 👍🏼if you wish to use it as a therapy tool for adolescents as a way to help them cope with tough feelings.

[@Bunnymum87]

I think Josh is the only one who can where those glasses and look so stinkin' adorable!!! Oh and I nearly passed out when I seen him shirtless...hahaa Wasn't expecting that! *swoons*

[@reybormar]

I love you too since you appeared for the first time. I'm 35 years old, from Venezuela. You're amazing, don't change your composition's style. I would love to go to any of your concerts, I have a twin sister in DC, she has gone to 2 of your concerts. For me would be a gorgeous gift if some day I can go. I really wish it!!!!

[@MarjoryPittman-i4i]

You are a walking Man to all who loves you ❤ you always give it all

[@joseluizengelke5128]

A Magnificent performance. Magnificent voice. The best one!

[@hehatu]

i love him ever since i heard his voice in "You Raise Me Up".. i wish i have a chance to hug him n thank him for his voice for always being there when i studied, sad, and happy.. i put him on my first list for my celebrity list before prince william and justin timberlake..

[@wendylee4141]

So at least you recognize talent. And maybe you are feeling the spirit in it. Bookmark this stuff - in a few years you will return to it.

[@MAGGY328]

REMEMBER THE MOMENTS THAT MADE YOU WHAT YOU ARE TODAY…….CHERISH THE JOY OF THE PRESENT NOW!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND GRANT YOU ALL YOUR WISHES..ON YOUR BIRTHDAY AND ALWAYS!! I WISH YOU A GREAT YEAR!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY :)))

[@jggal66]

HAPPPY "31st" BIRTHDAY, JOSHUA WINSLOW GROBAN!!! WE LUV YA!!!!!!

[@alicefricke4885]

Yes, Josh, I would definitely follow you! Love you soo much!

[@raipa111]

He doesn't look like he sounds at all! I'd give him the geek or the undiscovered movie director, but not the angel he sounds like when he opens his mouth!!

[@VenusInPisces]

he wrote most of the music on this CD and I think its his very best, I love all the songs he wrote, they are sooooooooooo beautiful!!!

[@michaelzotluangpuia7869]

If i walk away, follow me Lord ! Tonight (25th February, 2022), I've listening while riding with bike and i can feel how, why he loves me.

[@mskates2001]

So simple but so nice!!!! Now I will probably tear up when I listen to the CD in the car (a CD by Josh Groban is the only thing that make my long drive to work bearable) Thank you for this, Chris.

[@taylorvanbuskirk8040]

You and Dan Wilson are a good team. Wonderful song. I was in tears.

[@Goldiegogo4567]

I have an incurable case of Groban-itis. This is by far one of my favourite songs. Josh Groban has a voice like velvet that makes me melt like chocolate with every song he sings. And a rather handsome man if i do say so myself.

[@JenMPersonal]

Josh, I didn't think I could love you any more. Then you proved me wrong. I love the video and the song. I hope you come back to Cincinnati soon!

[@71crm]

I do love the music video itself-there’s just something kind of sweet and soothing about seeing Josh doing such things such as work on the computer or gaze out the window or go to the aquarium-things that I like to do myself.

[@CaresinVerse]

Your fans will ALWAYS FOLLOW YOU! It is such a privilege! ❤

[@MoqqiMurphy]

Love the "personalness" of this video. You can't help but be pulled in by it.

[@poeticmusings61]

Beautiful Song. The entire Illuminations album is magical. I hope one day it gets pressed on vinyl ❤

[@lgerage]

I had the honor of meeting him twice, and he even gave me one of his drumsticks at his concert in Milwaukee for the awake tour. I love his vocal range. I miss having fun with my sister. I feel as though this song was meant for us. But I am just a diva like that :) Hugs ! Amazing Josh as always.

[@matlosia]

OMg, Josh voice is so beautiful that makes me breathless!! His songs are so deep, real, and emotional that I'm always getting little bit teary!! He has a God given gift which touches people hearts, souls and minds!! U rock Josh!!

[@rosangeladoro72]

TENOR SIMPLY FABULOUS! VOCAL FANTASTIC! JOSH SIMPLY IS THE GREATEST! FOREVER WITH A GREAT JOB! THANK YOU FOR BEING!! MAKING OUR LIVES A LOT BETTER WITH THEIR SONGS! HUGS, ROSANGELA D'ORO

[@jjzanoni]

Another Home run by Josh. He can hit any octave from the highest to the most bass notes. Added to my Josh folder in my favorites.

[@wendylee4141]

When I walk away, as I have done many times, God has followed me. At some point he reminds me again that He is there, I just need to listen.

[@erniernawati7538]

I LOVE JOSH GORBAN VOICE...THKS LORD...YOU CREATED HIM...

[@traceyclough3364]

Anyone else struggling in their head but this song gives a little relief help

[@augustahevesi-nagy3121]

Josh Groban is An Honest Man and He Shares What's in His Heart❤️& in His Mind.. With "If I Walk Away, Would You Please Follow Me" It's a Very Sincere Song🎶

[@michellelaw6157]

I don't hate this music. I love this man's voice. I can listen to it all day. Please follow me, Josh.

[@fairuzal]

Just one word,"You're the best". Although, It's too hard find your album in my country, I always hope I can listen your beautiful song every time ...

[@jeanweigel8519]

God follows you where ever you Go.....and those who you reach with your heart and song. I wonder how many times your own songs, reverb in your ears and heart.

[@anaileana5075]

Always, even from a great distance. With the best and dearest thoughts! Good God bless all the roads you have to travel!

[@deniseweber1636]

great video- so much joy watching and seeing Josh being "just a normal guy"...

[@NaTaz883]

Once again I am in tears and breath taken by his emotion and passionate voice!

[@MichelleCzarneckiakaBoogawes]

Whoever the girl is, she is blessed. :-) Chris Groban does an excellent job showing that this girl is always in your thoughts, Josh, on the road or not. Keep up the good work, you two~

[@leandracleo72]

wow i get a real sence from watching this that it can be a lonely life being a recording artist - so successful and living his dream - yet lonely and isolating - makes you see things differently!!

[@HeartofFlame]

I LOVE this video. These songs are very inspirational for writing and this is by far one of the best MV's. Can't wait for the new album!
