Story So Far, The - How You Are Lyrics






Gone now I keep my distance
But still show persistence in trying to find out how you are
It’s really testing my patience, watching you waste this
Life that you have of yours in a bar
And I get the feeling that you’re gonna leave him
Cause you just can’t seem to get off
You’re so appealing, you can get anyone that you want somehow

Patience is useless when I’m sober and you’re wasted
And you don’t wanna hear it, so go on just leave it

Calm down, can’t we get level?
Can’t we be civil? We share a lot of things
And yeah, I think back when it was simple
Before I had earned some, and all I ever did was sing
Been caught under pressure, trying to measure
How I feel ‘bout this whole thing
You’re so appealing, you can get anyone that you want somehow

Patience is useless when I’m sober and you’re wasted
And you don’t wanna hear it so go on just leave it
And I count the times that I’m driving home
I’m talking to myself like I’m not alone
Trying to figure to out who I’ve been running from
Gotta figure out who I’ve been running from

I keep my distance now
Forcing my jaw to smile
[x2]

Patience is useless when I’m sober and you’re wasted
And you don’t wanna hear it so go on just leave it
And I count the times that I’m driving home
I’m talking to myself like I’m not alone
Trying to figure to out who I’ve been running from
Gotta figure out who I’ve been running from

  31. R.... F....

    Anyone else think this song would fit perfectly mid-set at warped tour?

  32. K.... S....

    i'm analyzing, discussing, and creating a presentation on TSSF and this song for my written and oral final exam for the wind ensemble in my school. i can't explain how much this album means to me, so it's gonna be rough trying to articulate things beyond the mechanics and music of this piece...

    K.... S....

    I hope you did well buddy! Have a great summer?

    K.... S....

    I got an A! I'm having a great one, I hope you are too c:

    Show your thoughts

    M.... I....

    The poosy boss

    M.... I....

    Running away from somebody because they're not the right fit for you, mainly due to how they are.

    M.... I....

    a girl that broke a guys heart (aka parker). he keeps away from her, but shes always on his mind and he still cares about her, as well as her wellbeing.Parker doesnt like that his former lover is out there partying and not doing something with herself. He tries to tell her but shes too wasted to agree with him.

  36. S.... S....

    you're so appealing, you can get anyone somehow"

  37. A.... ....

    Damn Kelen fucking kills on this song. the bass in the beginning is so beautiful

  38. A.... A....

    esse é o som

    A.... A....

    Um dos sonhos,coloca na velocidade o.5 fica melhor ainda

  39. V.... H....

    I keep my distance now
    Forcing my jaw to smile

  40. A.... K....

    When I'm sober your wasted... 😒🙄😔😢

  41. V.... ....

    Mmmmmm that bridge though. Love it.

  42. A.... B....

    "I keep my distance now
    Forcing my jaw to smile"

    Best part of the song!!! <3

    A.... B....

    Totally Spaced Out Right Now :)

  43. r.... ....

    I sense a lot of taking back Sunday influence in this song

  44. k.... ....

    I hate to jump the bandwagon of comments but I can relate to.this track a bit. Had a bf of three years, it was an LDR. He kept me on the edge of claiming he'd get a place for us both so I can move in. Needless to say through those three years all he spent his money on was drugs and alcohol. The only time I would hear from him was if he was either bored and had no one to talk to or high and drunk. Needless to say I was willing to try and work it out but he decided to call it quits. His loss. XD

  45. J.... J....

    best song one the album

  46. c.... ....

    First song I've heard from them.. I'm ashamed that I didn't know about them earlier. I think I'm in love.

  47. D.... F....

    fuck Cornetto Adv! i want listening this song

  48. S.... M....

    This song and this band gets me through life way more than anyone else. They mean so much to me.

  49. B.... ....

    and you'll be hungover all dayyyyy

  50. A.... L....

    voice ♥

  51. R.... G....

    The Energy in his voice just gets me goin

  52. S.... B....

    Best song from them yet, in my opinion. They killed it with this album.

  53. J.... D....

    I love how the drummer is initiating rim hits into this album! adds so much character compared to what pop punk drummers usually do....

  54. T.... H....

    Does anyone else hear a chirping noise from the guitar during the chorus? I've only heard it on this track. Must be the way it was recorded?

  55. K.... x....

    I saw these guys last night, and I got stuck in the mosh pit (I'm only 5ft, and I'm a female) and I got punched in the face, and almost had an anxiety attack.

    K.... x....

    @Cursed Kisses Very cool.

  56. M.... S....

    If this shit inspires you also, and you live in Denver hit me up and let's create musical fusion. I play the drums. Serious inquires only.

  57. M.... ....

    This song going into Phantom is the best part of the album!

  78. N.... C....

    Seeing them next Wednesday!!! Can't wait!😃

  79. D.... R....

    Chillest track to me on this album, love the bit at 1:45. Such a talented band

  80. G.... ....

    Have to say, this is my favorite song on the album with scowl has a close second. As a disclaimer though, all of the songs are excellent.

  81. v.... ....

    Favorite song on the album.

  82. s.... ....

    This song is an absolute jam! I did an acoustic cover of it on my page if anyone is interested in checking it out!

    s.... ....

    @satch402 Dude...that was amazing. I loved it!

    s.... ....

    @Dillon Perera Thanks for the kind words!

  83. d.... ....

    This whole album makes me think of Summer. I want to get in my car and just drive with this blaring

  84. A.... ....

    That intro with the groove between the drums and the bass was sick!

  85. S.... ....

    i hate how this song has an ending.

  86. S.... H....

    "I keep my distance now
    Forcing my jaw to smile"
    this whole song is literally so relatable

  87. P.... T....

    Can't wait to see them in NYC. I'm going to jump on someone.

    P.... T....

    Don't forget about the finger pointing brother!

  88. n.... ....

    I keep coming back to this one after playing the whole album

  89. s.... ....

    Easily my favorite song TSSF has ever done. Chords anyone?

  90. B.... J....

    Clicked like before I even played it.... I just know

  91. T.... ....

    This album has absolutely blown me away. It has completely shattered my expectations. TSSF are by far the best band out right now.

  92. E.... F....

    Being 100% honest, everyone in the band did an amazing job, but I swear Torf on the drums stole the show. On a whole other level on this album.

    E.... F....

    @Erik Feeley Really? Outside of the cool little rimshot parts on a few of the songs, I feel like What You Don't See blew this away from a drumming perspective.

    E.... F....

    @satch402 guess i just have a different ear. WYDS was solid. I just enjoy the different things he explored with on this album.

    E.... F....

    @Erik Feeley Christ the drum intro to Smile is insaneeee

    E.... F....

    @TheFinalJedster613 amen to that. That was the perfect intro to this album

    E.... F....

    For rreealll.

    He's a monster.

  93. J.... T....

    definitely my favorite track. well done!

  94. s.... h....

    Love the bridge of this. Them melancholy vibes.

    s.... h....

    Best moment on the whole record

    s.... h....

    Agreed to best moment on the record

  95. M.... M....

    This is everything

  96. H.... H....

    My favorite so far 😍

  97. s.... ....

    Love it straight away :)

  98. A.... ....

    god bless this whole album
