Lyrics How Could I - THAO, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down

How Could I

I was racing to your bedside
On, with no delay
How was I so far from you and why was I away
You know you’d always say to me
You know I don’t need a thing
You know you’d always say to me
You know I don’t need a thing
I was singing to the strangers late into the night
I’ll be singing to the strangers til the end of time
I know it can give so much
I know it takes everything
I know it can give so much
I know it takes everything
Are you relieved
Are you revived
Rid of sacrifice
Tell me a lifetime of love
And what did love provide
Celebrate your life only upon the day you die
We come from people who come from people who don’t mind
I don’t want to be so disappointing
I don’t want to be so disappointing
I know I should have stayed right there
Your girl
Just by your side
And when you opened those eyes
I know they should have landed on mine
I don’t want to be so disappointing
I don’t want to be so disappointing
I was racing to your bedside
On, with no delay
How was I so far from you and why was I away
You know you’d always say to me
You know I don’t need a thing
You know you’d always say to me
You know I don’t need a thing
I don’t want to be so disappointing
I just gotta see you once before you go
Oh no
How could I
