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
And I count the times that I’m driving home
And 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

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 want somehow

I keep my distance now
Forcing my jaw to smile

Kellin is such a good bassist, he kills every track

[raygerlach]

Patience is useless when I’m sober and you’re wasted - Parker hitting me with them feels again

[Bklounge]

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.

[ZebraZabrina]

This song deserves WAYYYY more recognition than it got

[drewmaster]

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

Best part of the song!!! <3

"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"

TSSF GOT ME FEELIN SOME TYPE OF WAY W THIS ONE

[Killthesefears]

This song is so good. Parker went through so much in his life and the real life feelings that all the TSSF songs are written from are just amazing. Whatever the circumstances amounted to, these songs are therapeutic. When you have been through the ringer with someone you love, are in love with and want nothing but the best for and they drag you along for and through their drunken charades it can be so discouraging, defeating and hopeless feeling. You want them better, but they are making choices to throw their life, their selves and the ones they love away. Actions speak louder than words, and they always will. I encourage anyone who has been in or through that to break free and remove yourself from that person and the situation. You and I and all of us deserve and have always deserved so so much better.

[ssamhallett]

Love the bridge of this. Them melancholy vibes.

[christopherhernandez]

This is probably my favorite chorus of any tssf song.

[g-magz]

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

[MDGolfaddict]

This is epic. Best song on the album by a distance

[SavannahHatley]

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

[michaeljames]

this band has never put out a bad song.

[kylestevensanders]

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...

[sierramadison]

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

[TheDerpasaurasRex]

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

[lostsoulz]

The chills... from start... to the end... that ending part though..

[CindyValencia]

My favorite on the album its so personally relatable.

[devin]

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