In a nostalgic reflection on the passage of time and changing relationships, PREP explores themes of longing, isolation, and the inevitability of change. The lyrics depict a sense of being held back by circumstances beyond one's control, symbolized by gravity's pull. The narrative unfolds with a poignant dialogue about loneliness and disconnection, underscored by references to modern life's distractions like "light-speed internet" and the pressures to move forward without addressing past issues. The recurring refrain emphasizes that despite shared experiences, the present reality is fundamentally different from what once was. This song poignantly captures the bittersweet realization that life’s dynamics evolve, often leaving us yearning for simpler times.
As It Was
Lyrics
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
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
You know it's not the same
Answer the phone
"You know you're no good alone
Why are you sittin' at home on the floor?
What kind of pills are you on?"
Ringin' the bell
And nobody's comin' to help
Your daddy lives by himself
He just wants to know that you're well, oh
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
You know it's not the same
As it was, as it was, ooh-oh
Go home, get 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
Go home, get ahead, light-speed internet
I don't wanna talk about the way that it was
Leave America, two kids follow her
You know it's not the same as it was
As it was
You know it's not the same as it was
