Det råder ingen tvekan om att Shawn Mendes är en av världens överlägset största artister. Killen fyller storarenor i samtliga världsdelar, jobbar, sliter, flyger och flänger mer än han hinner klimatkompensera (skulle MP tycka och rekommendera honom att ta tåget till gigen). I gengäld blir fansen fler och fler och gladare och gladare ju mer han jobbar, så vi hoppas han orkar fortsätta så, han är ju trots allt blott 21 vårar fyllda.
Mendes framgång kan kanske delvis förklaras med att hans musik tilltalar väldigt många musiksmaker, allt från smäktande ballader till ösigare låtar som nya If I Can’t Have You.
Text
I can’t write one song that’s not about you
Can’t drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you?
I’m in Toronto and I got this view
But I might as well be in a hotel room (Yeah)
It doesn’t matter ’cause I’m so consumed
Spending all my nights reading texts from you
Oh, I’m good at keeping my distance
I know, that you’re the feeling I’m missing
You know that I hate to admit it
But everything means nothing if I can’t have you
I can’t write one song that’s not about you
Can’t drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you?
I can’t write one song that’s not about you
Can’t drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you?
I’m so sorry that my timing’s off
But I can’t move on if we’re still gonna talk
Is it wrong for me to not want half
I want all of you, all the strings attached
Oh, I’m good at keeping my distance
I know, that you’re the feeling I’m missing
You know that I hate to admit it
But everything means nothing if I can’t have you
I can’t write one song that’s not about you
Can’t drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you?
I can’t write one song that’s not about you
Can’t drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you?
I’m trying, to move on, forget you, but I hold on
Everything means nothing, everything means nothing, babe
I’m trying, to move on, forget you, but I hold on
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you
I can’t write one song that’s not about you
Can’t drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you?
I can’t write one song that’s not about you
Can’t drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can’t have you?
