Scar - "As long as you know" lyrics

"As long as you know" lyrics

If I can’t see you, I want to know now
It’s already as hard as it is
‘Cause I can’t leave you, don’t even know how
And if you tell me to go

Just the thought that makes me ill
When I can’t fill my hands with you
Don’t know what I’d do
Don’t know where I’d go, do you?

As long as you know
Been as far as I can be, away from you
As long as you know
I want to hold you in my arms, I’ll stay, so close

I’m letting you know
Time goes by as sprinting miles
Just as long as you will know
I can’t take it anymore

Why are you with me? It doesn’t make sense
Go ahead and knock yourself out
You don’t deserve this, you’re better off without
But if you want to hang out

I can think of things to help make up
For all the things I’ve done
I can’t let you go, I get cold inside
Do you know?

As long as you know
Been as far as I can be, away from you
As long as you know
I want to hold you in my arms, I’ll stay, so close

I’m letting you know
Time goes by as sprinting miles
Just as long as you will know
I can’t take it anymore…

Been as far as I can be, away from you
As long as you know
Been as far as I can be, away from you
As long as you know
I want to hold you in my arms, I’ll stay, so close

I’m letting you know
Time goes by as sprinting miles
Just as long as you will know
I can’t take it anymore…


  • All lyrics suggest a relationship
  • Questions in lyrics could be used in the video, maybe a subterranean homesick blues take and use text to show these questions
  • lots of repetition could play on this throughout the video,maybe repeat a certain clip
  • song title repeated throughout the lyrics - could be used for an amplification video
  • Lyrics suggest the idea that this is a person that ant be without the person that they are singing about - presents opportunity to do an illustrative video
  • The lyrics could allow us to follow a serious illustrative route or a comical route - e.g Bowling for soup "1985" or "Girl all the bad guys want"
  • repetition of the word know - could present opportunity to play on the idea of the brain, maybe a serious video that shows something like amnesia or similar brain disorders.

  1. Elliott, there's quite a bit of work to do here. Some good, basic work on the blog so far; make sure that you continue to work in detail, concentrating on bands in your genre.
    Use the list below as a checklist of things that could be included (some are there already):
    Conventions of a promo
    • Conventions of ancillary tasks
    • Summarise groupings
    • Research and select a track
    • Analyse 3 promos of same genre in detail
    • Analyse 2 examples of each ancillary task (cd digipak, advert)
    • Deconstruct the lyrics for chosen track
    • Deconstruct the music for chosen track
    • Research and summarise promotional strategies
    • Complete and show audience research into expectations for a promo & ancillary tasks
    • Storyboards/mood boards
    • Notes on theoretical approaches to a music promo
    • Summarise the institutions that exhibit promos
    • Research and explore representations of similar bands

    Research and planning will be marked after half term
