Song Lyrics

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
And I don't know how you do it
And I don't know how you do it
And I don't know how you do it
And I don't know how you do it
And I don't know how you do it
