How You Feeling Now
The Tender Idols Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You bring the fire to my door
Tugging at the seams I'm impressed
You face tomorrow with my taste on your neck
Just as you raise me up
I'll slide on down to you
She's the one that I can lean on
She's the love that I believe in
Any kind of fool could tell you how
How you feeling now
Bending over backwards
You came without a warning
Now I struggle to stay away
The monkey keeps on laughing
Escaped without me asking
What I've done to repent
Just as you raise me up
I'll slide on down with you
She's the one that I can lean on
When you feel your life is getting down
She's the love that I believe in
Any kind of fool could tell you how
How you feeling now
