    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

    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.

    “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 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.

      As interesting as that sounds, he says its NOT living if its NOT with you, not if it is with you. that person must be a good person to mean that, not a toxic person cuz if the person was toxic freedom would eventually make them feel alive again (or at least more so.) *has escaped from one.

      @@AlphaTengua As a type of addict myself, I think it's a form of irony. When you engage in an addiction, it feels like you're 'alive'. And then, when you are recovering from an addiction, the worst thing about it is that it doesn't feel like 'living' in the same way that your vice does. Heroin, in particular, is described as feeling 'better than sex'. So when you're recovering, it doesn't feel like living. I think he's still talking about addiction.

    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.

    As for many of us that assumed this was a cute uplifting love song when it's actually about Matt's heroin addiction, doesn't mean we can't dance to it and enjoy it in a lighter form.
    I absolutely respect Matt that he's regarding his drug addiction through his art and as well as people who went through the same thing and feel connected to the song;
    but for some of us that like to enjoy it in a positive form instead of a depressing one, I personally also see this as a love song. The lyrics can also incorporate Danny being that loopy & out of touch because he could be madly in love with someone.

  • @alexiakarlesi5861

    the comments ruined this song for me lol. i thought it was a "happy" song, but now that I know it's about his heroin addiction,i feel depressed. it's interesting how he can come up with an upbeat song about a highly traumatic experience. music is one of the best coping mechanisms to ever exist. i hope anyone that has dealt with substance abuse, or is still dealing with it, knows that they're strong enough to overcome their addiction

Whenever their new releases have a different sound (Give Yourself a Try, and especially TOOTIME) I dislike it at first, and then they grow on me to become some of my favorites. But I immediately knew this would be a Top 3 The 1975 song when I heard it. Right up there with Sex and Me IMO.

    It's kind of funny to me how many people here are over the age of 40 who love this band, myself included (63). When I first heard of this band roughly 4 years ago, I was an immediate fan and I thoroughly enjoy the sonic, aural soundscapes which The 1975 continues to create. When I first heard the band I asked my then 18-year-old daughter if she was familiar with them and she just scoffed at me and said, "yes, every 12-year-old girl has Matt's picture on their bedroom wall". I felt like an old teenybopper...ha.

I remember two different times being on vacation with my husband who was also hooked and being sick as hell in this nice city and hotel and having to search the streets for a fix because we ran out two days before we were supposed to come back. When I first got clean i couldn't imagine having to live the rest of my life without my high. To me it wasn't living if I didn't have it i couldn't function without it. I'm currently a little over 2 years clean now from IV opana and heroin.
