In a short sentence, “This Is How” is about a girl. If it wasn’t too obvious. Yes, it may seem typical, but honestly it was a situation in a big part of my life that I needed to get off my chest and this was the best way to do it. In my time with the girl in question, who will remain nameless, we both made our mistakes, more so me than her, and it took its toll. We ended up parting ways sadly and “This Is How” chronicles that time in my life and the attempts I made to fix it.
I knew that you had made up your mind
The look on your face could tell it’s time
Is this the end of what we used to be
Never thought of you without me
So I’m writing you this long shot letter
In an attempt to make things better for just a little while
This is how, I’d like to begin
I’m here for now, so don’t be stupid
I have a question, please tell the truth
Have we given up what’s left of our youth
I knew that this had taken its toll
There was nothing that could fill this hole
All this time spent away on the road
Your voice became a dial tone
So I’m writing you this long shot letter
In an attempt to make things better for just a little while
This is how, I’d like to begin
I’m here for now, so don’t be stupid
I have a question, please tell the truth
Have we given up what’s left of our youth
Its been a few years since I could feel real
Will things stay the same, or just fade away
I have a question, please tell the truth
Have we given up what’s left of our youth
I have a question, please tell the truth
Have we given up what’s left of our youth
I have a question, please tell the truth
