As It Was - Spotify Singles Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Holdin' me back
Gravity's holdin' me back
I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
Why don't we leave it at that?
Nothin' to say
When everything gets in the way
Seems you cannot be replaced
And I'm the one who will stay, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
As it was, as it was
You know it's not the same

[Verse 2]
Answer the phone
"Harry, you're no good alone
Why are you sitting at home on the floor?
What kind of pills are you on?"
Ringin' the bell
And nobody's coming to help
Your daddy lives by himself
He just wants to know that you're well, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the same as it was
In this world, it's just us
You know it's not the samе as it was
As it was, as it was
You know it's not the same

[Bridge]
Go home, gеt ahead, light-speed internet
I don't wanna talk about the way that it was
Leave America, two kids follow her
I don't wanna talk about who's doin' it first

[Outro]
(Hey)
As it was
You know it's not the same as it was
As it was, as it was

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What have the artists said about this song?
Genius Answer

As much as I enjoy covering new songs outside the genres and styles I’ve often shown, I’m happy to cover Harry Styles' “As It Was” for Spotify Singles as I’ve been paying attention to this song for the past few months. I’m happy, there are many CARATs [fans] who have been waiting for this cover.

What did SEUNGKWAN (승관) say about "As It Was - Spotify Singles"?
Genius Answer

I love Harry Styles' third studio album, Harry’s House. In fact, I’ve got the entire album on repeat. The album conveys unique messages with contrasting genres, so I can choose a song from the album depending on how I feel that day. So, as soon as I heard about the opportunity to cover a song for Spotify, I immediately said I would like to do a Harry Styles one. I picked this particular song because when it comes to covers, I like to challenge myself with songs that are different from my usual genres and styles as an artist. And “As It Was” by Harry Styles has been my go-to song for the last couple of months, and it’s also a genre that I haven’t yet tried, so I did.

There are CARATs [fans] that love and wait for my covers of pop songs. So I hope they enjoy this one as much as I did. I would also like this cover to be one of the more memorable covers for Harry Styles' fans as well.
