Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
Distract my brain from the terrible news
It's not living if it's not with you

[Outro]
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

the more I listen to 1975, the more I like them... such a unique vibe

[thomascampbell]

This song has two moods. Either you’re dancing around your room singing into a hairbrush or sitting on your shower floor staring into the drain

[swavypars]

Deep lyrics. Heroin is no joke. Glad he's sober and kicking ass these days!

[ChainsawBlood]

Me: "Aw it sounds like a cute love song"

Comments: *HEROIN*

[svheaton]

Ironic that this song is about addiction because I can't stop listening to it.

[sylvie]

My all-time favorite song. “It’s not living if it’s not with you” is one of the most profoundly vulnerable statements I’ve ever heard. I think everyone’s felt that way about someone/something at least once in their lives, but it takes a lot of courage to admit that kind of dependency.

[arizexas]

“It’s not living if it’s not with you” are such simple yet such profound lyrics when you think about them being about Matty’s heroin addiction. As someone who’s been through the hell of substance abuse and addiction myself, those lyrics are so heavy to me. I would forget what life was like when I wasn’t high because I was high all the time for 4 years straight. It didn’t even feel right to exist without being high because I had grown used to living that way for so long. Been sober now for 15 months, and to think I used to get sick if I didn’t have my fix in a few hours. Proud of Matty for kicking addiction’s ass because it’s one of the hardest fights a person could have.

Edit: Just wanted to thank everyone for your kind words and positivity. I really appreciate all of your thoughtful and encouraging comments, and thank you for all the likes as well!

I have listened to this a unhealthy amount of times

[brett]

Those colours go perfectly with this song

[MaybeLily]

I maladaptive daydream (daydreaming a lot, creating scenarios etc) and although its not classified as a mental disorder, experts say it "gets in the way of living in reality" and can lead a person preferring their story more than real life. Although this song may be about a drug addiction, I feel like its perfect for what I feel towards my situation.

(edit: i'm kinda happy to know i'm not the only one who does this😅)

[thatfrog]

I used to play this song everyday on my way from school. I hated school with passion since I didn’t have any friends and I was failing in all my classes. This song helped me feel more alive and sane after any mentally or physically exhausting day. It’s like a friend to me :)

[tiathebandgirl]

I actually got super emotional listening to this. Gotta love how The 1975 can make such beautiful music about such honest, hard hitting topics

[davianaherrera]

This song really makes me think about being addicted to anything, if that makes any sense. A drug, alcohol, a toxic person. Just my thoughts

[cozziedriver]

I’m 54 years old and over the last twelve months I have really gotten into The 1975
Considering these lads grew up with each other and have been playing music since they were around 13 years old they have turned into the band I listen to all the time, the songwriting is so so clever. Pleased to hear Matt is better again and here’s too a massive 2019. I have tickets to go and see them in Glasgow and Manchester in Jan 2019 and can’t wait.

[TheNutterandbutter]

so proud of the band. especially proud of matty for getting sober 💞 you all rock

[drewjamila]

feels like it's the summer of 1983

[zoeisdeadinside]

What I love most about this song is that everyone can interpret it in their own way, yet again a bop by the 1975 xo

[peterboucher]

Should be played and explained to everyone who doesn't understand addiction. First listen, you imagine the love for your partner or loved ones, such a strong emotion. But when you realise the real sentiment behind it, you can grasp why addicts are addicted and how hard it is to leave. As you would find it hard to leave a loved one. Simple but magnificent song writing. Singing 1000 words in a 100.

[walterorue]

It's so sad that these are real feelings about drugs. But they make it look so poetically beautiful.

[ellielouise]

To be fair I cried at this song because he went through a detox from heroin and he didn’t wanna loose and he did it !1!1!-!
