[Verse 1: Zach Herron]
I get so caught up in me
That I don't realise what I'm missin'
All of my priorities
Never put you in my plans

[Pre-Chorus: Corbyn Besson & Jack Avery]
Every time we got closer, I pushed you away
Pulled you right back just to give you the pain
If I was your sinner, then you were my saint
Guilty of breaking your heart

[Chorus: All & Zach Herron & Corbyn Besson & (Jack Avery) & (Daniel Seavey)]
I lie here awake, thinking of all the games I played
I let you wait, hundreds of promises that I
(I never made,) I fell forever in a daze
('Till you walked away,) ‘cause of the words I didn't say

[Verse 2: Jonah Marais]
There is no me without you
And you don't realise what you're missin'
This time I'm on something different
Let me show you why, for real

[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Seavey & Jack Avery]
Every time we get close, I won't push you away
Pull you right back just to give you the pain
I won't be a sinner, but you'll be my saint
Guilty of giving my all

[Chorus: All & Zach Herron & Corbyn Besson & (Jack Avery) & (Daniel Seavey)]
I lie here awake, thinking of all the games I played
I let you wait, hundreds of promises that I
(I never made,) I fell forever in a daze
('Till you walked away,) ’cause of the words I didn't...

[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Seavey & Corbyn Besson & Zach Herron]
Every time we get close, I won't push you away
Pull you right back just to give you the pain
If I was your sinner, then you are my saint
Guilty of breaking your heart

[Chorus: All & Zach Herron & Corbyn Besson & (Jack Avery) & (Daniel Seavey)]
I-I lie here awake, thinking of all the games I played
I let you wait, hundreds of promises that I
(I never made,) I fell forever in a daze
('Till you walked away,) ‘cause of the words I didn't

[Outro: Daniel Seavey & All]
See, I can't live without you, I hope you'll forgive it
A world without you is a world without living
I can't live without you, I hope you'll forgive it
A world without you is a world without living
I can't live without you, I hope you'll forgive it
A world without you is a world without living
I can't live without you, I hope you'll forgive it
A world without you...

Why Don’t We is a boy band consisting of Daniel Seavey, Zach Herron, Corbyn Besson, Jonah Marais and Jack Avery. The members individually gained recognition over social media by posting covers and doing live streams. Seavey was also a contestant on season 14 of the American TV show American Idol. The group started activities on September 27, 2016, with the release of their two singles “Taking You” and “Nobody Gotta Know” and EP Only The Beginning, shortly thereafter.

The band gained a lot of recognition from their 2017 single “Something Different”. They went on to release four EPs in that year, notably gaining recognition for their collaboration with YouTuber Logan Paul, who also directed several of their music videos at this time.

Their first release in 2018, the Ed Sheeran-written “Trust Fund Baby,” ranked #2 on the American iTunes Chart, and was the band’s highest achievement to that date. They released three singles in June, July and August of that year preceding their first full length album on August 31, 2018. “Talk”, the second pre-release, peaked at #1 on the American iTunes Chart, surpassing their personal record just five months later.
