about

“How Can I” features a contrast between nostalgia and heartbreak. It's sparse, yet full-sounding instrumentation leaves room for deeper lyrics that depict experiences I went through during a long-distance relationship.

As the song progress, the passion breaks through, represented by audible thunderous storms and lightning strikes that will shake the very core of love itself.

lyrics

Your bullets are like magnet
Shooting down on my chest
Don’t you dare say I’m the one
Who feels all the regret

I know we’ve both been searching
For somebody else
But every time I look into our photographs
I know there’s nobody else

How can this be happening to me when I’ve already given way?
How can I feel you right beside me when you’re a thousand miles away?
How can I hear your laugh, see your smile, oh get lost into those eyes?
How can I get your heart, oh baby how can I? Get it beating back to mine?

Nobody has your magic
Nobody has your embrace
Nobody has that one little thing,
That only baby you can replace

I know we’ve made our promises
I know we’ve said our goodbyes
But every time I get one step ahead
I get pulled back to you and I

How can this be happening to me when I’ve already given way?
How can I feel you right beside me when you’re a thousand miles away?
How can I hear your laugh, see your smile, oh get lost into those eyes?
How can I get your heart, oh baby how can I? Get it beating back to mine?

I feel your love travel mountains
It wakes me up like a storm
I feel your lightning strike pull me back to life
A feeling that I’ve never felt before

How can this be happening to me when I’ve already given way?
How can I feel you right beside me when you’re a thousand miles away?
How can I hear your laugh, see your smile, oh get lost into those eyes?
How can I get your heart, oh baby how can I? Get it beating back to mine?
No, baby no so baby how can I?
