Lyrics The 1975 – It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You)

Danny ran into some complications
He falls asleep during conversations
He’s gotta search the street when he’s on vacation
The worst thing is that I’m in the same situation

And all I do is sit and think about you
If I knew what you’d do
Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes
It’s not living if it’s not with you

And Danny says we’re living in a simulation
But he works in a petrol station (selling petrol)
He says it all began with his operation
And I know you think you’re sly but you need some imagination

And all I do is sit and think about you
If I knew what you’d do
Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes
It’s not living if it’s not with you
All I do is sit and drink without you
If I choose then I lose
Distract my brain from the terrible news
It’s not living if it’s not with you

I can’t stop sweating or control my feet
I’ve got a twenty-stone monkey that I just can’t beat
I can stage a situation, but I just can’t eat
And there’s a feeling, you’re replacing embrace

It’s true that, all I do is sit and think about you
If I knew what you’d do
Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes
It’s not living if it’s not with you
All I do is sit and drink without you
If I choose then I lose

Oh, I’ll try to get a job in a bank, I think
Danny spent time trying to pack in the drinks for me
I feel sick and I know I can’t lose but
It’s not living if it’s not with you, it’s not, it’s not
It’s not living if it’s not with you, it’s not, it’s not
It’s not, it’s not, It’s not living if it’s not with you
It’s not living if it’s not with you, it’s not, it’s not
It’s not, it’s not, it’s not, it’s not
It’s not living if it’s not with you
