Don't Know How You Do It

.

Is it all in my head?

Is it something that I said?

Are these feathers meant for down?

Are these letters meant for noun?

.

Book the time, set the tone

Something borrowed, something sewn

And I don’t know how you do it

And I don’t know how you do it

.

Take it in all around

No more water, no more town

No more picking up the pieces

Tucking in along the creases

.

Throw ’em out, let ’em in

Never knowing where they’ve been

And I don’t know how you do it

And I don’t know how you do it

.

Another sight unseen

To straighten not to clean

Nostalgic not serene

I don’t know how you do it

.

The letter never came

The pilot missed the plane

I don’t know how you do it

I don’t know how you do it

.

Following the dots connecting

Faces to the names protecting

To hold but not to seize

To press but not to please

.

Intercepting not directing

Pastimes we were once regretting

I don’t know how you do it

I don’t know how you do it

.

And I don’t know how you do it *6
