Appearances
- Maladroit (Japan/UK Version)
Overview
"Living Without You" was apparently written in 2001, and was first recorded by the band during the late summer SnS Demos. The song was performed live at many shows during the Midget Tour series, as well as at several Goat Punishment shows later in 2001.
The song was one of many that Weezer demoed and worked on during the Maladroit sessions, and is in fact the only completed non-LP song from the album's recording sessions that has been released.
The 'in progress' versions of the song released on the official site during the late 2001 / early 2002 sessions had slightly different lyrics. Originally, the line was, "I'll be your bestest friend", but was changed to "I'll be your best of friends" for the final mix.
Personnel
- Rivers Cuomo – lead guitar, lead vocals
- Patrick Wilson – percussion

Lyrics
I wanna go
To see your house,
To see how you're living.
(Living without you)
And if you care,
I'm wanting you
From such a distance.
(Living without you)
And if you want to try
To speak to me again
I'll be your best of friends.
Whoa, ohhh, ohhh.
And I want you.
Ohhh, ohhh, oohh.
The things you wrote
To cut me off
When I was trying.
(Living without you)
To get with you,
To be your friend,
Made me feel so bad.
(Living without you)
Yeah, sweet girl
I need you.
Yeah, I think it could be so good.
