VERSE
As It Was
Harry Styles
Come on, Harry, we wanna say goodnight to you
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
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
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
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
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
(Hey)
As it was
You know it's not the same as it was
As it was, as it was

About this Song
As It Was by Harry Styles delves into themes of change, isolation, and introspection. The song reflects on the passage of time and how life circumstances have altered, both for the artist and in a broader sense. A key theme is the difficulty of returning to a previous state of happiness or normalcy, as indicated by the chorus 'In this world, it's just us / You know it's not the same as it was.' Poignant moments include lines that suggest a sense of yearning and nostalgia, as well as a recognition of unavoidable transformation. The melancholic tones juxtaposed with an upbeat melody create a compelling contrast, making the song resonate deeply with listeners.
