[Verse 1]
Drugs on my mind, these are my demons inside
My nightmares awake me, struggling to hide
Moving along with the tide
Trying to keep up with the times
Drugs on my mind, these are my demons inside
(That's how it is)
My nightmares awake me, struggling to hide
Move along with the tide
Trying to keep up with the times
I think I need you out my life
Halted instead by the battling right
I'm taking over the times
No cure I'm drowning inside drowning inside
(That's how it is)

[Chorus]
The synths drown me behind
As I listen to the bеat of the drums
The elеctronic drums
(That's how it is)
I really want her back
I really want her back
I really want them back
I really want her back
[Verse 2]
(That's how it is)
By the ocean tonight
And the world feels so bright again
Cause I'm not inside it
The flowery moonlight feels by my face
As I feel into the ocean
Thoughts of disgrace
Do I stay like this forever?
(Do I stay like this forever?)
Or do I go back?
And face the reality
(That's how it is)
That's how it is
That's how it is
(That's how it is)
(Do I stay like this forever?)
Do I stay like this forever?
(Do I stay like this forever?)
(That's how it is)

[Chorus]
The synths drown me behind
As I listen to the beat of the drums
The electronic drums
(That's how it is)
I really want her back
I really want her back
I really want them back
I really want her back
(That's how it is)
Oh, let's go feel alright
Take some pills now feel alright
Take a life now feel alright
I really want her back
I really want her back
I really want them back
I really want her back
[Outro]
I've been so hard to myself, I've been saying
"That's how it is"
I've been so hard to myself, I've been saying
"That's how it is"
I've been so hard to myself, I've been saying
"That's how it is"
I've been so hard to myself, I've been saying
I need to take my time
I need to set things right
I need to take my time
'Cuz I've been saying
"That's how it is"
