As It Is - Upswing Lyrics






Another night I spend alone
Dinner for one and TV shows
(You knocked me down)
Set me alight, I'll still feel cold
Subsequent to a life you chose

I'm just a fact you read, I'm in your head, then out again
I'm the skin you shed and want until the winter's end
The corners of your room get your attention more than I do
And I tried so fucking hard for you!

Another night it takes its toll
I brace the heartache with my skull
(You knocked me down)
I'm such a mess it's laughable
A foolish boy with no control

I'm just a fact you read, I'm in your head, then out again
I'm the skin you shed and want until the winter's end
The corners of your room get your attention more than I do
And I tried so fucking hard for you!

I thought you were perfect 'cause I only looked at you close!
Like I saw life through a telescope!
Then I backed away, saw my potential in everything!
I knocked you down on my upswing!

I'm just a fact you read, I'm in your head, then out again
I'm the skin you shed and want until the winter's end
The corners of your room get your attention more than I do
And I tried so fucking hard for you!

  4. I.... n....

    Patty’s trying to act so tough and angry yet the audience is like grabbing him like a rag doll

  12. P.... ....

    i fucking love this band.

  13. E.... C....

    Actually tabbed this and sent it to the band to try and get them to play it because they claim to have "forgotten" how to play it, now they have no excuse 😏

    E.... C....

    send me the tab as well 😂😂

  14. L.... G....

    I wish I liked them back them I've only liked them since November last year but I still love their old stuff

  16. p.... ....

    throwback to this omf

  17. O.... A....

    Holy throwback. I remember watching this when it first came out:) super proud of everything they've accomplished. Love you guys ❤️

  18. E.... Q....

    This crowd sucks. Just standing there.

  19. L.... ....

    it makes me laugh how when as it is, more specifically patty, were in a roam music video, all of the comments were about it but roam are in this and no one noticed

    L.... ....

    Which video

    L.... ....

    this is amazing idk sorry check roam's channel

  20. A.... J....

    Who's the guy with Patty at the beginning? The one wearing a beanie

    A.... J....

    it could be charlie? dunno though

    A.... J....

    nah dude, roam's bassist is matt... pretty sure that the one in the beanie with patty is charlie/nips

  21. P.... ....

    Patty's energy preforming is insane he just goes crazy it's the best!

    P.... ....

    Yeah, I saw them on Tuesday and at the end of the set before his band came on, he sprinted out and crowd surfed, and shit when they were playing, patty had so much energy. Patty is a phenomenal performer; they all are.

    P.... ....

    @midgetpro74 ah man that sounds insane! I saw them a year ago and he was just completely crazy yes they certainly are great performers and such lovely people they always have so much time to talk to you and stuff. Went to a show I couldn't get into due to age restrictions to wait outside and see them and they spoke to us for ages! 

    P.... ....

    yeah, i wish i could have stayed longer to talk to them.  had to leave before against the current and set it off played.  man, that was a great show.  the openers were great too.  roam, and someone else i can't remember the name of.  

    P.... ....

    @midgetpro74  ahh thats a shame :/ at least you saw As It Is! haha yeah certainly!

  22. P.... ....

    I remember watching this video before going to see you guys last year and wanting so bad to be in the front as close as possible to you but never thought I'd achieve that turns out made it right to the front and had the most insane night ever hopefully see you soon!

  23. C.... D....

    i couldnt get tickets and wanted to kill someone i was so pissed off

  24. J.... M....

    City Lights vibe anyone?

  25. m.... l....

    I love your guys's energy!! I can't wait to see you preform at warped

  26. j.... s....

    fucking amazing, but i think that when patty starts to scream the tone of the guitar does not match. I mean, it could be a heavier tone, but it still cool

  27. P.... T....

    Warped Tour….

  28. a.... f....

    My friend says that she thinks when Patty screams it sounds like he's burping...

    a.... f....

    No just no

    a.... f....

    This made my day. Stupid, but funny.

  29. A.... M....

    Patty!

  30. T.... R....

    Hope you guys can come to Norway!

  31. d.... m....

    ahh you guys need to come to liverpool

    d.... m....

    They're playing Liverpool tonight!:)

  32. Y.... N....

    💕😈 damn

  33. C.... ....

    Pop song with random screamo and the worst edited music video ive ever seen

    C.... ....

    As someone who only watches videos sometimes, I don't know if you're one to judge

    C.... ....

    Number one its Pop Punk with a mix of post hardcore, number two nothing even matters cuz pop punk is just about having fun :) none of them care about your opinion :)

    C.... ....

    @Jackie McKenna When did I say they had to?

    C.... ....

    @Caitlin WatchesVideosSometimes Nobody gives a shit about your opinion. You are just attempting to gain attention by posting a hate comment. Stop being such a bitch.

    C.... ....

    It hasn't even got any screamo? It's pop punk. If you have ever listened to Pop punk before you would know that shouting is common in this style of music. This song is great and nobody gives a shit about your opinion lmao. And the video is pretty well edited actually.

  34. J.... S....

    Oh My Gosh you guys are flippin amazing, I'm so glad you guys are straight edge.

    J.... S....

    only Patty is straight edge

  35. S.... H....

    Why can't you be going to Warped Tour? Seeing you guys live would make my life! \(^~^)/ keep rocking c:

  36. P.... S....

    Come to California okayyy

  37. D.... W....

    Are the lads from ROAM in the crowd for this show?

    D.... W....

    Maybe, I know that the bands are close

    D.... W....

    yeah you can see matt and alex right at the start

  38. K.... G....

    It's a really good band !

  39. J.... K....

    Just my opinion, if they used a heavier guitar tone. This would sound 10x better.

    J.... K....

    the curse of the telecaster... unless you swap out pick ups and whatnot 

    J.... K....

    @1SeniorSmurf telecaster is such a light sounding guitar, but it is a great guitar. nevertheless 

  40. J.... M....

    Was listening to this today with my window open and I heard clapping and voices I looked out and 3 old ladies were jammin outside wtf patty just wtf #stepasidesinatra love the song guys great work.

  41. O.... C....

    My new tune good job guys

  42. N.... P....

    N.... P....
