How Come Lyrics

How come you always wind up changing your direction?
How come you always end up dancing through the room?
How come you always never wanna use protection?
How come you're floating like a helium balloon?

I can't keep up
You're moving too fast
I got to know
Is this gonna last?
Coz i can't tell whether
your up or you're down
This whole situation is spinning me round
Spinning me round
Spinning me round

How come you always end up changing your intentions?
How come you always wind up blowing hot and cold?
One minute honest then your full of false pretension
Head in the clouds but still your desperate to control, to control

I just don't know what to believe
You build me up then you bring me down on my knees
You say you want me
Then your up and your gone
I got to know just where your comming from
Coming from, where your coming from

I got to know before its over
One way or the other
If your stringing me along

I can't keep up
You're moving too fast
I got to know
Is this gonna last?
I can't tell whether your up or you're down
This whole situation is spinning me round
Spinning me round
Spinning me round

How come?
How come?

How come you always wind up changing your direction?

You Give Me Something

How come you always wind up changing your direction? 
How come you always end up dancing through the room? 
How come you always never wanna use protection? 
How come you're floating like a helium balloon?

I can't keep up 
You're moving too fast 
I got to know 
Is this gonna last? 
Coz i can't tell whether 
your up or you're down 
This whole situation is spinning me round 
Spinning me round 
Spinning me round

How come you always end up changing your intentions? 
How come you always wind up blowing hot and cold? 
One minute honest then your full of false pretension 
Head in the clouds but still your desperate to control, to control

I just don't know what to believe 
You build me up then you bring me down on my knees 
You say you want me 
Then your up and your gone 
I got to know just where your comming from 
Coming from, where your coming from

I got to know before its over 
One way or the other 
If your stringing me along

I can't keep up 
You're moving too fast 
I got to know 
Is this gonna last? 
I can't tell whether your up or you're down 
This whole situation is spinning me round 
Spinning me round 
Spinning me round

How come? 
How come?

How come you always wind up changing your direction?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i can't believe that no one has commented on this yet....this song is great. seriously, sometimes stability is a good thing. and people who are always changing their minds is one of my pet peeves. cause all you can really think is "is he/she being real with me right now?"

my favorite part is "I got to know before it's over...one way or the other...if you're stringing me along"---this song just describes an incredibly annoying situation which then leads to problems. my ex-best friend was like that...she's angry then she's happy, she's cool to be around and then she's not.....eventually you just realize you can't take it...the erratic emotions and actions...and then you leave.

life is too short to live with the bs other people provide.
