Third Eye Blind
A classic song about burnout from a current relationship, and not caring about the subsequent fallout.
“How’s It Going To Be” was released as the third single from Third Eye Blind’s debut album in November 1997. The track peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Charts.
[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins]
I'm only pretty sure that I can't take anymore
Before you take a swing
I wonder what are we fighting for
When I say out loud
"I wanna get out of this"
I wonder is there anything
I'm gonna miss
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
I wonder how it's going to be
When you don't know me
How's it going to be
When you're sure I'm not there?
How's it going to be
When there's no one there to talk to?
Between you and me
'Cause I don't care
How's it going to be?
How's it going to be?
[Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins]
Where we used to laugh
There's a shouting match
Sharp as a thumbnail scratch
A silence I can't ignore
Like the hammock by the
Doorway we spent time in, swings empty
Don't see lightning like last fall
When it was always about to hit me
[Chorus: Stephan Jenkins]
I wonder how's it going to be
When it goes down
How's it going to be
When you're not around?
How's it going to be
When you found out there was nothing
Between you and me?
'Cause I don't care
How's it going to be
How's it going to be
[Bridge: Stephan Jenkins]
And how's it going to be
When you don't know me anymore?
And how's it going to be?
Wanna get myself back in again
The soft dive of oblivion
I wanna taste the salt of your skin
The soft dive of oblivion (Oblivion)
[Outro: Stephan Jenkins]
How's it going to be?
When you don't know me anymore?
How's it going to be?
How's it going to be?
