About This Track

ILLENIUM and Quinn XCII navigate the fracture of a relationship where distance and miscommunication have become the fault lines. The song finds its emotional centre in a lover's request for space and clarity, met with the speaker's admission that absence only deepens the rift. The lyrics turn inward, accepting blame whilst also asking for patience, a tension that mirrors the push and pull of two people trying to hold something together that may already be slipping. The production builds around this vulnerability, with the repeated refrain "If I'm not there with you" becoming both plea and confession. What emerges is a portrait of someone caught between the need to step back and the fear that stepping back means losing everything. The song refuses easy resolution, instead dwelling in the uncomfortable middle ground where love and distance collide.

"With You" is a track by ILLENIUM, from the album Ashes, released 15th February 2016. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

With You

[Verse]

You hate when my head

Hangs low after all

These things you said

Trust it's not your fault

Can't expect you to understand

Take it back to when it began

Had I just followed all my plans

I wouldn't have ended up so lost

Now we're both so off

And I'm still the one to blame

Can't say we'll stay the same (The same)

(Can't say we'll stay the same)

[Chorus]

Baby, baby, stay here

I need some time to clear my mind

We both know it's a problem

When you call me all the time

And I'll say

"I may just need a little bit longer, yeah

I may just need you to be stronger

If I'm not there with you"

[Post-Chorus]

If I'm not there with you

I can't hold this fight in anymore

If I'm not there with you

I can't hold this fight in anymore

[Chorus]

Baby, baby, stay here

I need some time to clear my mind

We both know it's a problem

When you call me all the time

And I'll say

"I may just need a little bit longer, yeah

I may just need you to be stronger, oh

If I'm not there with you"

[Outro]

If I'm not there with you

If I'm not there with you

If I'm not there with you

If I'm not there with you

If I'm not there with you

If I'm not there with you

If I'm not there with you
