How It Feels (Old Romantic Version)

(album: Foolishman - 2017)

(How it feels)
(On an even keel)

I can trace it back
To one 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
Jealousy, the little green eyed monster, dancing with you and me

You hurt me
By questioning my integrity
And I've hurt you
By dismissing your views
You hurt me
I can't imagine how it used to be
And I hurt you
Is this what love has made us do?

Will we ever know, will we ever know
How it feels
For us to love again, love again
On an even keel

Will we ever know, will we ever know
How it feels?
For us to love again, love again
On an even keel?

It could have been so easy for me to see
The cracks that had appeared
If only I'd stopped to think of all the times
That you'd always feared
Other people would come into play
Eyes, lips, then bodies be swayed
And you believed that you'd been betrayed
When no such games had ever been played

You hurt me
By questioning my integrity
And I've hurt you
By dismissing your views
You hurt me
I can't imagine how it used to be
And I hurt you
Is this what love has made us do?

Will we ever know, will we ever know
How it feels
For us to love again, love again
On an even keel

Will we ever know, will we ever know
How it feels
For us to love again, love again
On an even keel

Now you're blind to the monster in your mind
You find some ways to convince you every time
I'm later back than I said I'm gonna be
I'm not in another lover's arms
Seduced by the charms of a person we met twice
Or a person I once said was nice
Addicted to bad ideas
Which turn your love to fears

(How it feels)
(On an even keel)

Will we ever know, will we ever know
How it feels
For us to love again, love again
On an even keel

Will we ever know, will we ever know
How it feels
For us to love again, love again
On an even keel

(How it feels)
(On an even keel)

(How it feels)
(On an even keel)
