about

"How Come" asks the questions no one has any answers to, and doesn't expect to get any either. It's about accepting the insecurity we all feel as human beings, and that most of our questions will remain unanswered. An intimate song that builds up to a powerful, driving chorus and sending a political message in between the lines.

lyrics

How come when it rains it pours
How come I open doors
When I'm not quite sure.
How come when thew chips are down
and no one's around
I wanna cry out loud
When I think I'm right,
I change my mind
And tell myself that I don't really know anymore.

How come the sky is blue
One and one make two
Why don't I look like you?\\How come I don't understand
Why you''d take my hand
Why you'd be my man
When I think it's good,
I misunderstood
And tell myself that I don't really know anymore.

How come
The wind blows?
How come
The tears flow?
If I knew I'd tell you
I'd tell you if I knew

But I don't know
I don't know
And if you ask me why, I might just lie
oh, I wish that I could tell you
But I don't know
(How come)

How come I would change the world
For my baby girl
How come my heart stands still?
How come what we sew we reap
Why can't I fall asleep
How come I feel so weak
When I think it's good,
I misunderstood
And tell myself that I don't really know anymore.

How come
The wind blows?
How come
The tears flow?
If I knew I'd tell you
I'd tell you if I knew

But I don't know
I don't know
And if you ask me why, I might just lie
oh, I wish that I could tell you
But I don't know.
(How come)

How come there is war on earth
Babies die at birth
How come the rich come first?
How come?
I don't know.
How come?
