The Way You Are Lyrics

Waist deep in her
Neck deep in this
Surviving her
Mental apocalypse

Call me a liar
Still I'll take you
Just the way you are
'Til you expire
Still I'll take you
Jjust the way you are

Pure fist lash back
Two nights in a row
I claw her back
And smile real slow

Call me a liar
Still I'll take you
Just the way you are
'Til you expire
Still I'll take you
Just the way you are

And it's in the way
It's in the way you move your hips now
It's in the way
It's in the way you move your hips now
It's in the way
It's in the way you move your hips now
It's in the way
It's in the way you move your hips now
It's in the way
It's in the way you move your hips now
It's in the way
It's in the way you move your hips now
It's in the way

Call me a liar
Still I'll take you
Just the way you are
'Til you expire
Still I'll take you
Just the way you are

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's not "mental apocalypse," it's "dancehall apocalypse." Josh once explained in an interview that the dancehall apocalypse metaphor is about horrible things happening during times you expect things to be good. Dancehalls, he said, were supposed to be places full of joy and fun, and apocalypse, obviously, is the complete opposite. Anyway, that phrase sort of fits the song; it's kind of melancholy/bitter sex.

Listening to this on the album I really thought this song was about an intense, draining dance. However previously I had the same belief as 'starsfinallyxplode' and I think that may be the true meaning of the song.

Melancholy/bitter sex. A great way to put it.

He's actually singing "I claw her back and slide real slow"

God I freaking miss this band.
