Kimbra - As You Are Lyrics
I won't give it back again
I won't give it back to you
I won't give that part again
I won't love another you
You ain't no friend of mine
We were moving so fast and you got me thinking
Why not keep chasing time?
I said ‘Honey I wanna find somewhere sacred,
away from your flashing lights’
Honey I was yours in the dark of the night
Come as you are
Come let me take a picture
Come as you are
I won't give it back again
More that I’m giving, the more you take
I’m feeling forced into the intimate
With every move I make into your frame
Come on take anything you like
Cos honey that hourglass got me thinking
You ain’t no friend of mine
We were moving so fast and the sand was sinking
Why not keep chasing time?
Honey I wanna feel something sacred,
away from your flashing lights
Honey I was yours in the dark of the night
Come as you are
Come let me take a picture
Come as you are
Come inside, a little to the right
Get comfortable, you're a natural
Come inside, it'll be alright
Love comes at a cost
But nothing’s ever lost
It's just another paradox
The dark was just never just for us
Take another fast
Try to make it last
But this too my love shall pass
The dark was just never just for us
And it all ends the same
Cos in time everything must change
Take another fast
Try to make it last if you want to
But in time everything must go

Kimbra As You Are Comments
♥️♥️🤪♥️♥️
Woah. I'm only just discovering Kimbra now - but woah. I keep finding gems like this and I don't know what to do with it.
Tons of gems with Kimbra! From 2010 to her last album and videos... It is a new world!
Simply awe strucked
I've lost count how many times I've watched this video and have felt my heart and soul swell so much that I cry. Every time it's a different meaning. ❤️
Who's here in 2019?
💧💓🎶🌹🎹🌹🎶💓💧
perfect
My favourite Kimbra song
There's something that I can't get away from in this song. I find myself completely captivated in every word. Emotions everywhere. Thank you Kimbra!
Pode passar o tempo que for, As You Are continuará como uma das melhores canções da Kimbra (se não A MELHOR). Isto é cantar com a alma, isto é arte ❤❤
Rafael Fernandes CONCORDO 100%
This is so beautiful, I just can't 😥💖
So much better than the official version.
Both woman and song are amazing.
Real artist....
Such beautiful sorrow.
SO this is what Angels sound like in heaven !! WOW
She is not human hahaha! Her passion is from another world!
La amo <3...
I hate it when people say "modern music sucks". Kimbra is such a great example that pop music can be interesting, risky and complex. She is one of a kind, ahead of her time.
This really hit home today!
I don't wanna be critical. But in my opinion is the album version espially in the strophes more emotionall.
BREAK MY HEART💜...I DONT CARE🙏🇺🇸🇲🇽IM ON THE FLOOR ALREADY 🙃
KIMBRA.....IM BEEN A FAN FOR ABOUT A 2 YEARS NOW...OFF AND ON...I THINK YOU KNOW THAT... DONT YOU..💍💎👑🕶️💜🤞
06:01 OMG Melhor parte do vídeo - o talento de Kimbra é incrível ❤
wwwwooooooowwww 😍😍😍
this was like a religious experience
as much as i love Kimbra and her voice and her emotion, I do want to hear Beyonce's version #sorrynotsorry
#youshouldbesorry
this song never fails to give me fucking goosebumps upon goosebumps. Everybody Knows is such a fucking great lead single, I'm so excited for this new era. this brilliant woman never disappoints
Watching this again for the nth time, and just noticed the pair of small almost-smiles at 6:46-6:48. It's like she was - just for a moment - lost in the memory of whatever inspired the song ... or the song inspires in her.
does anyone know where the opening piano melody is from?
amazing pure amazing !
I wish I could give a thumbs up every time I listen to it.
Can someone give me their interpretation of the meaning behind this song?
watch the introduction
Reminds me of Lea Michele!
Sober and deep performance ! Very touching. Love it !
This is literally my favorite video on YouTube.
It's a shame she has terrible phrasing, a specially when she uses her head voice....
Those aaaahs really need work....
Love her song writing though.
K- MAN what do you mean by that?
She is not a lyrical singer, she is telling is a story with her meanings. And this is beautiful and sincere.
It's like, specifically written to be cried to hahah
Truly a heart felt song, it's amazing to see the expressions on the violinists.
I Cant see or listen this without cry a bit
I really love this type of video! Please bring it back!
This is wonderful art! Thank you Kimbra for sharing such deep thoughts with us!
6:03 holy shit
Gabriel Willemann she fucking killed it!!
kimbra got me fucked up
Heres the opening trancript
when you create a place with someone that you think is sacred and is just shared between you two .and if that is then taken away from you or opened up in a way you didn't expect ,you start to put up walls for the fear of it happening again . that place of illusion that we fall into where in love were blinded and we think that we're the only ones and that it's just a little safe bubble that you create with someone, there is this conversation that takes place between the two people and one is asking someone to come exactly as they are and to allow them to be intimate and allow them to be open ,and so often we fall for that and we find out that it wasn't pure as we thought it can be really difficult to feel vulnerable again .vulnerability is so important to me i think it's crucial to the human experience that we open up ourselves up and that we be real people and be raw with people and we let them see ourselves for exactly who we are but it's also one of the hardest things to do. its so much better to walk through life having given that and opening that space up to someone -kimbra
R3DEMPTEDlegacy Thank you so much!
lagrimas rolaram aqui
Best version. I love album version, but I'd love it...
From like 5:55 to the end absolutely kills me. lyrics, music, HER. She is such an artist. This was so effortless.
the first verse and chorus are just unbelievable
Wow this has always been one of my favorite songs, but this video really changed how I think about the song. So beautiful.
she doesn't just create music she also creates art as well
Kimbra eres la mejor!
That was just amazing
Pretty song, but I was SO distracted by her hand movements. Put your hands down! Lol
Nice mic technique...
i love her music. its so deep :)
Speechless. This is so raw it hurts. She bleeds talent.
kimbrailoveyouto
Same my heart also broke in tears
Where are all these Rs coming from suddenly? She's a Kiwi, ain't no Rs in New Zealand english.
Florence + Kimbra = Make it happen, music industry.
iTeacupPanda yes yes yes and again yes!
OMG I HAVE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Love it
I cry every time I hear her sing this. THAT is artistry.
Apaixonado por este vídeo! Kimbra é sensacional, que voz...
goosebumps for dayzzzzz
I love her 😍
i listened to this and cried at the first long note.. the way her voice broke at the end.. my heart broke with it
HEYCEREZA at what point in the video are you referring to?
3:25 . revisiting it right now I got chills again
What about 6:03 - 6:11
exactly, i cant prevent the tears
i cry listening this
someone please give her a Grammy !
but... like... Lorde can have it but Kimbra can't??? seriously???
Lorde isn't anything special, musically speaking. Lyrically, yes, she's amazing, but I've yet to hear anything from her that's particularly interesting or challenging. In fact, her songs seem to work best when Postmodern Jukebox covers them. Lorde is decidedly a mainstream pop act, which is why I'm not at all surprised she got a Grammy nod.
Contrast with Kimbra. She's a bit of a musical chameleon, who not only writes and sings, but also produces her own work. Look at the stylistic differences between "Vows" and "The Golden Echo", then contrast both of those works with her live performances at SpaceJam and on stage with David Byrne at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Prince tribute concert (there weren't many invited to perfom with The Revolution, y'know). The American popular music scene has no idea what to do with Kimbra.
@Bryce Katz you mean Kimbra has so many different potentials that many people don't understand?? okay! that explains alot, thankyou sir!
Queen Kimbra does have a Grammy though. Sadly, it's because of Gotye and not her solo stuff but she's literally more than deserving. Especially after seeing the nominations this year lmao
Kimbra has like 2 grammys
There is nothing more to say!!! Just crying my eyes out! So so beautiful!
Chills X infinity beautiful (L)
nunca entenderé por qué tiene tan pocas visitas este video...
Really beautiful. I got emotional 😭
I hope Kimbra is single, cause she is wife material! :D
I've been saying that to myself for years lmao
Hahah as we all
Kimbra best waifu
kimbra would probably eat u alive, just sayin ; )
Yeah, get in line....
Never have I felt so connected to an artist. You are a gem. Thank you for this gift.
very off key on the high notes, not good at all
My Name sometimes key doesnt matter when emotion carries it. Shes real about her art.
Classic stuff right there... Hey Kimbra, would you have a cup of coffee with me?
it's not one of those the catchiest song which I've always been into but the melody itself, the lyric and Kimbra's voice make me feel haunted. It sure reminds me of what I've been through ... OMG I can't get it outta my head.
Yeah What he Said.......lol Love you Kimbra
I cried
So much power. The message to the execution. Brilliant.
That was beautiful
Really hit home for me. Breathtaking.
Moving...
she's incredible
Brilliant!
This is going on my list of beautiful songs that make me want to cry. This is a modern wonder, and Kimbra doesn't get the publicity she deserves.
i miss the old miranda sings
+howsbao stooop it, u kiddin?
Lol wtf no Miranda is way better now.
This performance gives me chills. The emotion here is so pure and real...
Incredible!
My favorite song from her
I love the act of storytelling in the intro, like beginners poetry.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! Could you all please check out my version of this song and tell me what you think!
Kimbra plays in her own league.
I can't describe how stunning this is. I loved the studio version, but this one hurts even more and showcases her vocals so well.
This is by far my favourite live performance of anything i've seen yet in my life
Is there a way I can download this version? So amazing!
3:20 - 3:29 The best part!
this was so beautiful and uplifting to me while i was depressed.
beautiful
Truly a beautiful performance.
I never met an artist explain her emotions through music as well as her. She is one of my inspirations and love her voice. Although it makes me depressed and emotional listening to this song. I guess it's because of the amount of emotion and feeling put into the song.
kimbra is my inspiration
