  • 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
    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 replacin' embrace

    And 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

    Oh, I'll try to get a job in a bank, I think
    Danny spent the time tryna pack in the drinks for me
    I feel sick and I know that I'll lose, but
    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 living if it's not with you
    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 living if it's not with you
    It's not living if it's not with you Writer/s: Adam Brian Thomas Hann, George Bedford Daniel, Matthew Timothy Healy, Ross Stewart MacDonald
