How the Heart Works Lyrics by Donald Reid

In a Taxi Home

2006

[Verse 1]
I'm looking out into the future
I see you lying on the grass
Kids are playing here beside me
I know the thought scares us, but it'll pass
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't believe the way you talk to me
I can't believe you'd stay with me now
[Chorus]
It's amazing how the heart works
It's amazing how the heart works
Give it up, set it up, set it up, put it straight now
It's amazing how the heart works, yeah
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I wish I said I love you
But I don't think you'd want to hear
Instead just go see to watch a movie
Seems like a waste now you're not here
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can't beliеve the way you talk to me
And I can't bеlieve you'd stay with me now
[Chorus]
It's amazing how the heart works
It's amazing how the heart works
Give it up, set it up, set it up and put it straight now
It's amazing how the heart works
[Bridge]
When you call me at home
You keep crowding my space, oh no
Though I want you alone
So keep crowding my space, oh no
Oh no, oh no
[Instrumental Break]
[Breakdown]
Give it up, set it up, set it up and put it straight now
Give it up, set it up, set it out
Put it straight now
[Verse 1]
Looking out into the future
I see you lying on the grass
Kids are playing here beside me
I know the thought scares us, but it'll pass
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
It's amazing how the heart works
It's amazing how the heart works
It's amazing how the heart works
It's amazing how the heart works
[Breakdown]
Give it up, set it up, set it up and put it straight now
Give it up, set it up, set it out
Put it straight now
