Lyrics
As It Is
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I stayed awake
While worlds away
To ask about you
And all at once
I jumped the gun
I didn’t mean to
To count the days
I used to hate
But now they’re not so tough to live through
And while away
My freckled face
Should surely miss you
I guess I’ve changed
It’s not a phase
Nothing like before
You’ll miss it though
But only 'cause
You’re sentimental
Don’t paint this gold
Like at the start
For it is
As it is
As we are
Don’t take it back
Don’t tell me you can’t
For it is
As it is
As we aren’t
We saved a date
It’s not too late
To rearrange it
We jumped the gun
You left to run
I stayed, conflicted
And you still see
How we could be
Is there something that I'm missing
'Cause all along
I kinda knew
That we were fading
Don’t paint this gold
Like at the start
For it is
As it is
As we are
Don’t take it back
Don’t tell me you can’t
For it is
As it is
As we are
For it is
As it is
As we aren’t
