5 Without You
Keith Urban Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've loved you since the very first day
When I caught you looking my way
A smile and just knew it.
And up until you came along, no one ever heard my song,
Now its climbing with a bullet.

Its nice to have someone, so honestly devoted,
But when it's said and done, girl I hope you know that,

The traveling, the singing, it don't mean nothing without you
The fast cars, the guitars, they are all just second to,
This life, this love that you and I have been dreaming of, for so long
It'd all be as good as gone, without you.

Oh ho, without you, hey hey

Along comes a baby girl, and suddenly my little world,
Just got a whole lot bigger, yes it did.
And people that I barely knew, who love me 'cause I'm part of you
Man it's tough to figure
How two souls can be, miles from one another
But still you and me, have somehow found each other.

The traveling, the singing, it don't mean nothing without you
The fast cars, the guitars, they are all just second to,
This life, this love that you and I have been dreaming of, for so long
It'd all be as good as gone, without you.

Without you, oh oh
Without you I'd survive, but I'd have to have the notion
That I could live this life, just going through the motions

The traveling, the singing, it don't mean nothing without you
The fast cars, the guitars, they are all just second to,
This life, this love that you and I have been building up so high
It's never gonna touch the sky, without you.

Mm, without you




Without you, baby, baby, baby without you
Without you.

Overall Meaning

The song "Without You" by Keith Urban is a tribute to the power of love in a person's life. The lyrics speak about the singer's love for his partner, whom he has loved since he first saw her. He explains that before her, his life was incomplete and he felt like he had not been heard. But with her, he has finally found someone to dedicate himself to, and his life and his music is all the better for it.


The singer also talks about how their love has grown over the years, and how they have managed to stay connected despite the physical distance between them. He speaks of the birth of their daughter and how it has added a new dimension to his life.


Ultimately, the core message of the song is that all the fame and success in the world pales in comparison to the love of a good partner. The singer acknowledges that he could survive without his partner, but it would just be going through the motions, and his life and music would never reach its full potential without her.

Unfortunately it is just advertising. In 2009 BEFORE he chose that song. I gave Keith a quote to Christopher Robin from Winnie the Pooh. We had a thing between us about Chris and Winnie. Keith knows what I mean.The quote: "If you ever live to be 100. I hope to live 100 minus 1 day. So I never have to live WITHOUT YOU." He sang the song for me several times and edited the worst video he ever did, and edited her out. If it were real he would have never done that. It is just promoting her image. But the truth is still the truth no matter what the general public, like you think. He knows I tell the truth. He knows I'm the one that loved him since the very first day. In 2003. You will choose to believe that is "love" when it is a false image.

Sunny Sheriff

@Patty Herpel These are NOT lies. Too bad you only know name calling and NOT truth. Keith knows I tell the truth. If you choose to believe lies, that's your unfortunate circumstance.

Irene Olsson

​@Patty Herpel She is a big liar that she wrote about the song is not right at all and Nicole WAS NOT in THAT VIDEO SO how could he edited out THAT was only Keith And from 2003 he was together with Niki So all that she have wrote is not true at all He can't sing a song that not exist before 2011 AND the same Keith knows what I mean and he knows what I mean he knows what I mean ........on every page IF YOU have loved him since 2003 .......SO WHAT HAVE HE EVER CHOSE YOU ........AND YOU ARE LIKE A PARROT ----SAY THE SAME OVER AND OVER .......Keith knows I tell the truth ....Keith knows what i mean .........HE DON'T CARE

Sunny Sheriff

@Bunchie Hewitt If it's your business, and it isn't, I was married when WE met. It's a 20 year story.
