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?
Cause I can’t tell whether you’re 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 you’re full of false pretension
Head in the clouds but still you’re desperate to control, to control
I just don’t know, what, what to believe
You build me and then you bring me down on my knees
You say you want me, then you’re up and you’re gone
I got to know just where you’re coming from
Coming from, where you’re coming from
I got to know before it’s over
One way or the other
If you’re stringing me along
I can’t keep up, you’re moving too fast
I got to know, is this gonna last?
Cause I can’t tell whether you’re 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?
