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
