How It Works

  • Will you wait in the cab
    Or will you drive away
    Put my faith in the moment
    While I watch everything change
    'Cause it's not fair
    They're not your debts to pay
    Sometimes I get nervous
    And I don't know what to say

    You only know it's leaving when it goes
    That's how it works
    That's just how it works
    If it's coming back, nobody knows
    That's how it works
    That's just how it works
    There'll be no sleeping until it goes
    That's how it works
    That's just how it works
    And how to fight the feeling, nobody knows

    You know it's really coming down
    When you can smell the exhaust
    Still worry your laughter
    Is a little bit forced
    I'm learning to let go
    I'm building a life
    Now I can look at the scars
    And not think of the knife

    You only know it's leaving when it goes
    That's how it works
    That's just how it works
    If it's coming back, nobody knows
    That's how it works
    That's just how it works
    There'll be no sleeping until it goes
    That's how it works
    That's just how it works
    And how to fight the feeling, nobody knows

    You only know it's leaving when it goes
    That's how it works
    That's just how it works
    If it's coming back, nobody knows
    That's how it works
    That's just how it works
    There'll be no sleeping until it goes
    That's how it works
    That's just how it works
    And how to fight the feeling, nobody knows Writer/s: Benjamin Cramer, Henry Brill, Owen Lewis
