Lyrics
How Does It Feel?
Followed you home tonight
Thought you'd had too much to drink
You went left when I went right
And disappeared into the night
It started to make me think
The radio man won't tell
It might be just as well
How does it feel
With a heart that is breakin' now?
How does it feel tonight?
How does it feel
In a love that's forsaken, now
Here in the dashboard light?
We've sailed around these reefs
Yes, we have been here before
Now I'll drive these empty streets
Lookin' for Love's quiet thief
Who's stealin' into my soul
And taking you away
Though he is not to blame
How does it feel
With a heart that is breakin' now?
How does it feel tonight?
How does it feel
In a love that's forsaken, now
Here in the dashboard light?
So you never made it home
And I'm still inside this car
You had somewhere else to go
While I've been sitting here alone
'cause I couldn't get that far
The radio man won't tell
But, he can go to hell
How does it feel
With a heart that is breakin' now?
How does it feel tonight?
How does it feel
In a love that's forsaken, now
Here in the dashboard light?
How does it feel?
