lyrics

How Come?

Chorus:

How come I only want what I can't have, what I can't have, what I can't have?/All I want is you, is that so bad, is that so bad, is that so bad?/And I just wanna feel, what I can't touch, what I can't touch, what I can't touch/Just wanna fall in love with you, is that too much to ask, is that too much to ask?

Verse One:

Now I, drove myself crazy deciding if I'd really record this/Had it written for a while/Wrote the first line when we, we first said hi and since then, the lyrics they've been running through my mind/I can't describe how I, feel so alive when I, look in your eyes, but I gotta keep it cool/Around you/You blow my cover, baby I'm going under/It's a shame 'cause…

Chorus:
I only want what I can't have, what I can't have, what I can't have?/All I want is you, is that so bad, is that so bad, is that so bad?/And I just wanna feel, what I can't touch, what I can't touch, what I can't touch/Just wanna fall in love with you, is that too much to ask, is that too much to ask?

Verse Two:

Now I know, it's risky business you know, letting you hear this/It's like giving you a ticket with unlimited entrance into my heart, and baby that's the part, I'm afraid of/I'm falling way too hard, and surely I'm in danger/But I don't wanna be stuck with all these shoulda-coulda-wouldas/And there's got to be a reason my heart beats like some subwoofers/Every time you come around/You're breaking my walls down/You leave me exposed and nobody knows, I want you here and now but I can't…

Chorus background:
I just want what I can't have/All I want is you/Wanna feel what I can't touch/Wanna fall in love with you
