Here are the lyrics to The 1975’s new single ‘It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You)’

Postman Matt(y) has been at it again.

Fresh off the back of the reveal that we’re getting a new track from The 1975 this Thursday, Postman Matt(y) and co have been dropping announcements in the mail.

The latest missive from the band has arrived at the Dork bunker this morning, containing the full lyrics for ‘It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You)’ – described as “the third single” from forthcoming album ‘A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships’.

The previous two tracks to be described in such terms were opening gambit ‘Give Yourself A Try’ and radio-banger ‘TOOTIMETOOTIMETOOTIME’, so expect big things from the latest offering from the band’s third album.

‘It’s Not Living (If It’s Not With You)’ was first revealed to be dropping this week by a massive poster, announcing it’s arrival on 18th October. You can check that out here.

Last night, The 1975 debuted their much anticipated video for ‘Love It If We Made It’, alongside new North American tour dates. You can find those here.

The lyrics, in full, read:

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

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

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

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
There’s a feeling you’re replacing 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

Here are the lyrics to The 1975's new single 'It's Not Living (If It's Not With You)'
