How Can You Lyrics

When I wake up abroad

Tangled up by unknowns

I feel a strange warmth by my side

I know what you mean

There's pleasure in taking it slow

Never heard a lovelier voice

And the subtleties it hides

Harnessing powers beneath the tones

Whatever remains of me

The unbearable weight of water

How can you say "just hold it down"?

How can you say "don't swallow propane"?

How can you stand so unaware?

How can you caress every drop in the rain?

How can you weave together words

In a way I'll happily misunderstand?

And I've tucked my shirt tight

Walked towards the bar lights

To take you for drinks even if just tonight

Champagne in the park

Well now that sounds like a plan

I don't know what I do

Half or most of the time

But now I've got a certain aim

All I wanna do is see your face

Bypass the terror, surrender, be reckless

How can you say "just hold it down"?

How can you say "don't swallow propane"?

How can you stand so unaware?

How can you caress every drop in the rain?

How can you weave together words

In a way I think I now can understand?
