As You Are
Rag 'N' Bone Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You calmed the storm when it was rising
You found me there where I was hiding
All I have is here and now
If the ground beneath our feet has disappeared
I'll be here beside you, always be right near you
Remember me, won't you?
I know we've all got our problems
And it's a blessing that we made it here so far
If you lay here in these arms tonight I promise
I promise to take you, take you as you are
When I was reaching out in the dark
When the streets below just looked so far
When I forgot everything that I was
All I needed was your love
If the earth beneath our feet is old and caves in
For a second we will fight
When it's late in the evening, don't let me go, dear
I know we've all got our problems
And it's a blessing that we made it here so far
And if you lay here in these arms tonight I promise
I promise to take you, take you as you are
Take you as you are, as you are
Take you as you are, as you are
Take you as you are, as you are, ooh (as you are)
As you are
I know we've all got our problems
And it's a blessing that we made it here so far
And if you lay here in these arms tonight I promise (I promise)
I promise to take you, take you as you are
I know we've all got our problems
And it's a blessing that we made it here so far
If you lay here in these arms tonight I promise
I promise to take you, take you as you are (oh, Lord)

You raised the lights when it was frightening
You gave me hope when everything seemed so scary and dark
You calmed the storm when it was rising
You helped me through my struggles when everything was falling apart
You found me there where I was hiding
You didn't give up on me and found me when I tried to run away
All I have is here and now
All that matters is what we have in the present moment
If the ground beneath our feet has disappeared
If everything falls apart and nothing seems to make sense anymore
I'll be here beside you, always be right near you
I'll be there to support you and never leave your side
Remember me, won't you?
Don't forget about the good times we shared together
I know we've all got our problems
We all have our own struggles and issues to deal with
And it's a blessing that we made it here so far
Despite our problems and obstacles, we've made it this far in life and that's something to be grateful for
If you lay here in these arms tonight I promise
If you choose to be with me and let me love you, I promise
I promise to take you, take you as you are
I promise to accept and love you for who you are, flaws and all
When I was reaching out in the dark
When I was lost and needed someone to help guide me
When the streets below just looked so far
When everything seemed so distant and unreachable
When I forgot everything that I was
When I lost my sense of identity and purpose
All I needed was your love
All I needed was someone to love and support me
If the earth beneath our feet is old and caves in
If everything we know and rely on suddenly collapses and breaks apart
For a second we will fight
We'll face the challenges together and fight to keep going
When it's late in the evening, don't let me go, dear
When the day is over and everything settles down, don't leave me alone
Take you as you are, as you are
Accepting and loving someone for who they truly are
As you are
Without judgement or expectations, just as they are
I promise (I promise)
Reassuring someone of your commitment and devotion to them
Oh, Lord
An expression of deep emotion and gratitude towards a higher power

Thank you Rag'n'Bone man for this beautiful song, it was perfect to walk down the aisle to and, 3 years on, still makes me smile whenever I hear it (my husband too ;))

I'm 75 and listen to much music, ever since I first heard him a year ago I have been impressed with his style, his voice always soulful and the songs touch your heart and show us not to hate but to love one another!

Music is art, and Rag’N’Bone Man makes it very apparent.
Stoney
Am not trying to be rude on any ways but are you really 75??
Peter G
Right on brother, I'm exactly half your age, hope the 2nd half isn't as weird as the first was for me, but this guy & his group are very good.

@Stoney Why not, I'm 67 and have been listening to him most of the morning. People seem to have very strange ideas of older people.
