As It Is Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)
I guess I've changed, it's not a phase, nothing like before
You'll miss it thought but only 'cause you're sentimental
[Chorus]
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
[Break]
(Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, mmm
Mmm-mmm, mmm, mmm)
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
For it is as it is, as we are
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
For it is as it is, as we aren't
