• You
  You
  You
  Are still a whisper on my lips
  A feeling at my fingertips
  That's pulling at my skin
  You
  Leave me when I'm at my worst
  A feeling as if I've been cursed
  Bitter cold within
  
  Days go by and still I think of you
  Days when I couldn't live my life without you
  Days go by and still I think of you
  Days when I couldn't live my life without you
  Without you
  Without you
  
  You
  Are still a whisper on my lips
  A feeling at my fingertips
  That's pulling at my skin
  You
  Leave me when I'm at my worst
  A feeling as if I've been cursed
  Bitter cold within
  
  Days go by and still I think of you
  Days when I couldn't live my life without you
  Without you
  Without you
  
  Days go by and still I think of you
  Days when I couldn't live my life without you
  Days go by and still I think of you
  Days when I couldn't live my life without you
  Without you
  Without you
  
  Without you
  Without you
  Without you Writer/s: Steve Smith, Victoria Horn

• Rich from Mexico City, Mxas it has been discused in the comments.. there are two versions of the video, the one which is referenced in here is the later one.. the one they sit on the car, in the first one they were inside the dinner place. It was a pretty surprising hit for them, as in the USA, at the time, it wasn't that common for electronica/dance music to cross over to the mainstream i n such a manner.. that alone launched them a full on contract with EMI, they did their first album for the label while the song had been already released, and it did pretty well in the US.. as far as I remember it was number 1 on an extinct billboard chart called electronica... the thing is people who bought it wasn't just die hard fans of the music.. they just wanted the song and there wasn't itunes back then.. die hard dance music/electronica fans of the time, most probably bought the single... so, when they released their second album, their fate was already written, didn't sold that well, at least for big label expectations, and they were dropped off.. that doesn't mean they didn't gain a couple fans on the road. Later on they released on independent labels, and have had moderate success with some of their tunes . That being said, of them all, Paul Harris, has been the most prolific trough all this time, writing/co-writing songs for big names, even k-pop artists.
• Greg from Richmond VaLove this song and Video
• Leah from Humboldt, Iai adore this song.
• Claire from Oak Ridge, TnI loved this song and video. Why can't some things musically be more like '02?
• Ashley from Moncton, CanadaI have to agree, the bass in this song is incredible, it's a really good song, and I don't know why I like it, because I don't like this kind of music usually, but this song has so much bass and it's kind of trippy, so I like it. Recap: BASS=AWESOMENESS.
• Samuel from Lincoln Park, MiIn the dance game "Dance Dance Revolution Max 2" (DDRMAX2) for the PS2, a shortened version of this song can be danced to. It also plays a shortened version of the music video as you dance.
• Chris from Hull, MaThe bass in this song is incredible.
• Kris from Toronto, Canadasince the commercial has caught on the video has been altered. It's subtle, but the difference is enormous. In the older video the band sat in the diner, watching the man dance, in the current version they sit watching him dance from the comfort of their Mitsubishi . . . lame lame LAME.
