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

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
