How Will I Cope With That? by The Hives Lyrics
[Verse 1: Howlin' Pelle Almqvist]
The light is getting better as the sun is going up
It looks to be proceeding, not knowing where to stop
Barely awake, I get out of bed
I've been thinking quite a lot about what you said
You said, "I feel like I'm stuck down here
I'm taking my things, so don't follow me"
So you satisfy yourself
And lay me back, back upon
The shelf
[Verse 2: Howlin' Pelle]
So you
Took what you owned and a whole lot more
And I'm eating my breakfast right off the floor
'Cause I've got no plates, no tables, no nothing
I know you're angry, but you could have left something
Now, I stand alone again
But I wish it wasn't so
I wish you were here in my atmosphere
But I know you're not, and I'm missing
You so
[Chorus: Nicholaus Arson]
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with
That?
[Verse 3: Howlin' Pelle]
Did I love you wrong? I am such a mess
Was my love too strong? Then, I'll love you less
I'll do almost anything to get you back
And I'll take whoever tries to plug your jack
But that's not easy when you're not here
I wish I could flick a switch and you would appear
'Cause I'd like to gain some of your sympathy
The only thing I've won is the pain you're
Causing me
[Bridge: Howlin' Pelle]
So now, what am I gonna do
I loom about, still missing you
Can't seem to find nowhere to go
Can't seem to learn what I want to know
Though, I shouldn't let it get to me
It bothers me that you went away
Was I too thin? Was I too fat?
Now, you're gone, and how will I cope with that?
[Chorus: Arson]
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with
That?
[Outro: Howlin' Pelle / Arson]
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with-
How will I ever cope with that?
The light is getting better as the sun is going up
It looks to be proceeding, not knowing where to stop
Barely awake, I get out of bed
I've been thinking quite a lot about what you said
You said, "I feel like I'm stuck down here
I'm taking my things, so don't follow me"
So you satisfy yourself
And lay me back, back upon
The shelf
[Verse 2: Howlin' Pelle]
So you
Took what you owned and a whole lot more
And I'm eating my breakfast right off the floor
'Cause I've got no plates, no tables, no nothing
I know you're angry, but you could have left something
Now, I stand alone again
But I wish it wasn't so
I wish you were here in my atmosphere
But I know you're not, and I'm missing
You so
[Chorus: Nicholaus Arson]
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with
That?

How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with
That?
[Outro: Howlin' Pelle / Arson]
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with that?
How will I cope with that?
How will I ever cope with-
How will I ever cope with that?
