How It Feels Songtext
von The Correspondents

How was I to know
How was I to know
How you′d feel?
Until you put us back
Put us back on an even keel

(How was I to know, how was I to know) When I tried to read the signs
(How was I to know, how was I to know) You told me everything was fine
(How was I to know, how was I to know) To find the problems in your mind

If I could trace it back to an evening under a diamond sky
Usual three word phrases weren't reciprocated
I had to ask why
Silence for too long (Far, far too long)
Any trace of a smile in your face was gone
Jealously, the little green eyed monster dancing with you and me

It could of been so easy for me to see the cracks that had appeared
If only I′d stop to think of all the times that you'd always feared that other people would come into play
Eyes, lips, their bodies persuade
And you believed that you'd been betrayed
When no such games had ever been played


You pushed me by questioning my integrity
Then I pushed you by dismissing your views
You push me
I can′t remember how it used to be
Why push through?
Is this what love has made us do?

How was I to know
How was I to know
How you′d feel?
Until you put us back
Put us back on an even keel

How was I to know
How was I to know
How you'd feel?
Until you put us back
Put us back on an even keel

Now you′re blind to the monster in your mind
It finds ways to convince you every time
I'm later than I say I′m gonna be
I'm locked in another lover′s arms
Seduced by the charms of a person we've met twice
Or a person I once said was nice
Addicted to bad ideas which turned your love to fears


You pushed me by questioning my integrity
Then I pushed you by dismissing your views
You push me
I can't remember how it used to be
Why push through?
Is this what love has made us do?

How was I to know
How was I to know
How you′d feel?
Until you put us back
Put us back on an even keel

How was I to know
How was I to know (When I tried to read the signs)
How you′d feel (How was I to know, how was I to know)
Until you put us back (How was I to know, how was I to know)
Put us back on an even keel (To find the problems on your mind)

(How was I to know, how was I to know) When I tried to read the signs
(How was I to know, how was I to know) You told me everything was fine
(How was I to know, how was I to know)
To find the problems on your mind

(How was I to know, how was I to know)
When I tried to read the signs
(How was I to know, how was I to know)
You told me everything was fine
(How was I to know, how was I to know)
To find the problems on your mind
How was I to know?

(How was I to know, how was I to know)
(How was I to know, how was I to know)
(How was I to know, how was I to know)
