Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, 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
[Verse 2]
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 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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', embracin'
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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, 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, it's not
It's not living if it's not with you)
