Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?

Din sol har landat i mitt knä och gått sönder
och våra rader trillar ur och ligger kvar

jag tror vi ljög fast vi sa att det var sant
vi var aldrig kära i varann
det bara kändes likadant

I ett stökigt rum med båda fötterna på bordet
jag har tagit båten över havet hit igen
för jag har en längtan som aldrig vill gå över
jag tror jag måste stanna här
tills jag återvänder hem

Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?

Såna som vi med lyckan mitt i sorgen
vi ställer frågor och jag är trött på mina svar
men du finns i mina drömmar när jag sover
jag vill förändra nån av oss
men jag vet inte hur man gör

Jag andas in och det känns som första gången
du håller om mig och jag vågar hålla kvar
vi kanske ljög fast vi sa att det var sant
vi var aldrig kära i varann
men det känns precis likadant

Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?

Din sol har landat i mitt knä och gått sönder
och våra rader trillar ur och ligger kvar
det finns en fara i att aldrig hitta vägen
det finns nåt vackert
med att vandra den ändå

Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?

Hur ska det gå?
Hur ska det gå?

The singer talks about how they both lied to each other about being in love and how they were never truly invested in one another. The song describes how they keep returning to each other even though they know it's not right, with the lines "jag har tagit båten över havet hit igen" ("I have taken the boat over the ocean again") and "jag tror jag måste stanna här/tills jag återvänder hem" ("I think I have to stay here/until I return home").

The chorus "Hur ska det gå?" ("How will it go?") serves as a sort of plea for answers or resolution, but the song ends with a hint of hopefulness. The line "Det finns nåt vackert/med att vandra den ändå" ("There is something beautiful/about walking it anyway") suggests that despite the difficulties and uncertainties, there is still something worthwhile in the journey and the relationship.

Overall, the song captures the complex emotions of a relationship that is neither quite right nor quite wrong, and the uncertainty and hope that comes with it.
