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
