We Came As Romans - The Way That We Have Been Lyrics






Why have we been so reckless?
Acting like we don't know right from wrong
And it's not like we didn't expect this
When we've really known all along
It could only be so long until we really felt it
We've been digging our way down instead of digging our way out

We can't keep living the way we have been
It'll catch up to us and destroy everything else as well
I know we were never perfect
But it was more than worth it
And we don't deserve it
The strain that give with the way that we live

It's taken too long for this realization
But I'm hoping we will have so many more
I never want to stop trying to make things better
No matter how good I think they are

Why have we been so complacent?
Accepting everything as good enough
With all the effort we never put in
Convenience was the priority to us
Taking the first step is the hardest part
After we've been digging our way down instead of digging our way out

We can't keep living the way we have been
It'll catch up to us and destroy everything else as well
I know we were never perfect
But it was more than worth it
And we don't deserve it
The strain that give with the way that we live
It's taken too long for this realization

We're all sorry for the lost time
But will we take a step in a new direction?
I don't want to waste any more time
But I can't do this without you
Will you take my hand?

We can't keep living the way we have been
It'll catch up to us and destroy everything else as well

I know we were never perfect
But it was more than worth it
And we don't deserve it
The strain that give with the way that we live

  7. N.... �....

    we miss you Kyle
    God bless your soul

  8. E.... ....

    RIP brother

  9. 4.... ....

    RIP Kyle! We can't keep living the way that we have been

  10. S.... ....

    I always felt this was one of Kyle's best songs because he embraces his lower range, which has a LOT of emotion in it. I remember this being the track I jammed the most on the album back in freshman year. It's been so long, and this band has been with me awhile, and I am just now going back to reminisce...

  11. C.... ....

    02:53 - 02:59

  12. C.... B....

    I'm naming my son Roman

    C.... B....

    let's go bowling?

    C.... B....

    Sacredgeometry haha I get that reference

  13. x.... ....

    Your worse enemy is your self!!!!

  14. R.... S....

    this and stay inspired was my workout songs I love this album

  15. E.... J....

    Am I the only one that drowns in the riff at 2:20?

  16. K.... B....

    love we came as romans

  17. D.... B....

    True!
    This song makes anyone think about what they never think about.

    Us vs. the world
    We've already made enemies with her

    D.... B....

    +Dillon Bott Not really. It makes me think of people living in sin all their lives, and hes saying we were never perfect, but we need to change. We cant keep living the way that we have been. Its taking too long for this realization. So i think he woke up too slow and maybe lost a women, or he basically woke up and it was too late for something. I cant tell though.

    D.... B....

    +Josiah Pierce When I hear the song I think about someone consumed by drugs or a rough past decisions to get over those problems "why have we been digging our way down instead of digging our way out". Furthermore when he says "I'm sorry for the last time , will we take a step in the right direction" makes me feel like he's asking for a loved one(s) for help. Sounds to me like he knows the consequences, and can't stop on his own.



    I know I rambled. But ultimately, songs like this band, are what help everyone in their own way. We will never know for sure what these lyrics are about but for me, I hate my past decisions... And I I. Don't do something to change the way I think, and act, it can and will destroy everything..

  18. B.... H....

    I know we were never perfect but it was more than worth it and we don't deserve it ..
    Fuck no we deserve it i disagree :'c i love this song sfm

  19. H.... ....

    0:48 "Eating Ketchup too much"

    H.... ....

    +Hori san ha ha ha

    H.... ....

    "it'll catch up to us"

  20. D.... S....

    We can't be living the life that we had been , it'll catch up to
    Much and destroy everything i trust wel🎶 how do people dare to say this band sucks, with words like this so deep it makes you drown in your own thoughts

  21. B.... ....

    The most underrated We Came as Romans song!

  42. O.... ....

    haha i'm failed in Grammar exam every tearm but i still use regurla English :)
    i'm really don't need that haha
    **Thumbs up for the unneeded grammar correction** cheer mate :D

  43. A.... H....

    if you wanna be a grammar nazi then you should at least be a good one. in the english rules of grammar, you aren't supposed to put a conjunction after a comma. just sayin. :3

  44. m.... ....

    What? he just spelled out the number...

  45. P.... ....

    @markYOUsuffer the number was "53" though, are you so retarded you don't even know what you said?

  46. B.... C....

    You forgot a period or exclamation point!

  47. P.... ....

    @markYOUsuffer fifty-three* Also forgot the fullstop at the end.

  48. m.... s....

    kyle voice is unique!

  49. L.... ....

    You and I both know you will get this message. I wasn't flaming you either, don't really know where you got that idea from. Anyways, if you care so much about your grammar and the people telling you to correct it, maybe you need something better to do. LOL and i thought u normally check what u type so people don't Flame u over youtube multiple times?

  50. L.... ....

    Maybe if you'd just stop posting then you'd stop getting replies. I wasn't even gonna reply to your top comments until you said another one.

  51. L.... ....

    Holy shit dude.. Are you here for the great music or the thumbs up?

  52. r.... ....

    You need a hyphen between the 'fifty' and 'three'. And you forgot the period at the end of your sentence. :)

  53. X.... ....

    Good shit

  54. W.... A....

    Their lyrics. >

  55. B.... B....

    Oh, the grammar!

  56. V.... ....

    I really hated their last album so I really thought I wouldnt like this one either. I gave the album a listen, I was like meh, not too bad. Then I gave it a few more spins and it really grew on me. Overall I thought this was a really solid album, nice job :)

  57. W.... P....

    I heard every one of their songs by this one well i think ive heard of it only one time though

  58. M.... M....

    this is my favorite song c:

    <3 WCAR Joshua Moore you are a genius

  88. A.... Y....

    @xXW4RH3ROXx that is by far the best comment i've ever read :)

  89. J.... P....

    @slashback7 Dude this song is legit, you cannot say ALL the music on the radio making millions is actually hard to play? lets see... most people listen to the radio right? and that music is autotuned to shit and sucks.. and this music is auto tuned and his voice sounds nice and legit. it doesnt matter to anyone it seems except you about how hard the music is to play, since your a badass and put then band down, let me hear your band and see how many people like it? quit bashing this good band

  90. J.... P....

    @MrBmorgasm Amen!!! thumbs up!

  91. K.... ....

    Song is stupid wild. Good job WCAR

  92. T.... F....

    @slashback7 you realize your opinion means nothing lol... yeah cause i hear bands these days mix symphony/orchestra with there music... yeah totally generic... and your saying this is there worse song and the vocals are whiny... yet all there songs are simmilar... his singing sounds like this in every song... and of course its autotuned... you do realize that you still have to hit the note when you use autotune right? otherwise your voice will bounce all over the place...

  93. x.... ....

    @slashback7 okay, no one likes a troll. thanks for wastin 30 seconds of my life.

  94. R.... M....

    @slashback7 K.

  95. J.... B....

    joshua moore your freakin awesome, i love how u put messages that r true and , and love how its reflexs god , that he would of say the same thing , fuck yeah

  96. O.... ....

    @slashback7 Then don't bother sitting there listening to the whole song and listen to your own bloody music, it's that simple.

    Why is it so hard for people these days just to lift a finger and click the "X" button at the top?
    us Fans like it so that's all that matters.

  97. s.... ....

    description says "get the meaning from these songs at whatever website or somethin blah blah blah" ill tell u the meaning of every song "we kick ass all over the place and we are the best band in the world!!!" i totally agree with them
