I Can't Live Without You
One Nation Crew Lyrics

I can't live
The singer cannot exist or continue to live without the person they are referring to.

Live without you
The singer cannot live their life without the person they are referring to by their side.

I can't live without you
The singer is emphasizing how important the person they are referring to is to their survival and overall well-being.

I can't breathe
The singer cannot take in oxygen without the person they are referring to.

Breathe without you
The singer is incapable of taking a breath without the person they are referring to.

I can't breathe without you
The singer is expressing how much they need the person they are referring to in order to simply function.

I'd be like a ship without a sail
The singer would be lost and directionless without the person they are referring to.

Drifting on the sea
The singer would be aimlessly floating on the ocean without the person they are referring to to guide them.

I'd be empty like a waterless well
Without the person they are referring to, the singer would feel like they have nothing left inside - like an empty well with no water.

Or a tree without leaves
The singer would feel barren and lifeless like a tree without leaves if the person they are referring to wasn't in their life.

I can't eat
The singer cannot consume any food without the person they are referring to.

I can't sleep
The singer is unable to fall asleep or rest without the presence of the person they are referring to.

What would it be like if the sun didn't shine
The singer is asking a rhetorical question to emphasize how crucial the person they are referring to is in their life.

Or if the birds didn't sing
The singer is imagining a world without the things they associate with happiness, beauty, and joy - like the sound of birds singing.

Don't you wish you could go back in time
This line is a hypothetical question and a call to action for the listener to ponder what life would be like without the people they love.

And relive a memory
The singer is reminiscing on past experiences and memories they shared with the person they are referring to, highlighting the importance of their presence in their life.

I can't smile
The singer is unable to feel genuine joy or happiness without the person they are referring to, so they cannot force themselves to smile.

Smile without you
The singer cannot project a genuine smile in the absence of the person they are referring to.

I can't smile without you
This line is a reiteration of the fact that the singer's joy and happiness is dependent on the person they are referring to.

There's no me
The singer emphasizes that their identity and sense of self is directly tied to the person they are referring to.

No me without you
The singer is saying that they cannot exist independently from the person they are referring to.

There's no me without you
This is a concluding statement that emphasizes the central message of the song - that the singer cannot live without this significant other in their life.
