“How’s It Going To Be” - Third Eye Blind

We’re exhausted on the road, I’ve been driving for four hours, the road looks pretty funny to me and there’s a cloud above the car I ask Charles

“Is that spinning?” and he says no, shows some concern.  I ask

“Are you sure?” and he asks, “Are you?”

I tell him I’m fine just my leg hurts some, we’re silent a while this song comes on.  Soon as its on I go “Oh yeah!” turn it up.

We start singing along, we start shouting the words along, we get to the part where no one knows what he’s saying except when he says Clear the air!  Clear the air!  but I could be wrong about that too and we’re just shouting.  Part of me feels this is happening because of people in our past we don’t know anymore, and I’m singing it because I know how it is now to not know this or that person, but that might not matter at all, and I don’t know what’s going on in Charles’ head but I have a hunch.
