Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Jump on the bus that takes me to your flat
It's up three flights of stairs, it's so convenient
Make no mistake, no, I can't quite explain
But if we don't leave now, we'll miss our train
[Verse 2]
How come, how come, how, how come
You've been telling lies?
How come, how come, how, how come?
Little secrets, alibis
How come, how come, how, how come?
Shadows cross your eyes
How come, how come, how, how come?
[Verse 3]
The actual details I can hardly remember now
And in the end, in the end, it doesn't matter anyhow
So unexpected, still I don't know why she wrote
A seventeen page letter just to say goodbye
[Verse 4]
How come, how come, how, how come
You've been telling lies?
How come, how come, how, how come?
Little secrets, alibis
How come, how come, how, how come?
Shadows cross your eyes
How come, how come, how, how come?
[Verse 5]
How come, how come, how, how come
You've been telling lies?
How come, how come, how, how come?
Little secrets, alibis
How come, how come, how, how come?
Shadows cross your eyes
How come, how come, how, how come?
[Verse 6]
How come, how come, how, how come
You've been telling lies?
How come, how come, how, how come?
Little secrets, alibis
How come, how come, how, how come?
Shadows cross your eyes
How come, how come, how, how come?
[Verse 7]
(How come? How come? How come?)
(You've been tellin' lies, how come?)
(No more alibis, how come?)
