【Verse 1】
“Do this, do that,” the voices line up loud
Heavy words I hide inside my pocket now
Tie my shoelaces tight once again
This is the moment we start to run
【Pre-Chorus】
Why? How come?
Why is everyone the same color?
Even if we don’t know yet
Our hearts just want to run
【Chorus】
Why? How come?
The wind is pushing our backs
All those labels they gave to us
And those old maps, let them go
Why? How come?
We move on, laughing loud
A brand new world
Is calling out our names
【Verse 2】
Scraped-up knees are medals too
Long way around is an adventure road
Why do grown-ups always rush?
How can they laugh while they cry?
Having dreams that aren’t the same
That’s our shape, that’s who we are
【Chorus】
Why? How come?
The wind is pushing our backs
All those labels they gave to us
And those old maps, let them go
Why? How come?
We move on, laughing loud
A brand new world
Is calling out our names
【Verse 3】
After brushing all my teeth
I still want ice cream
I still want some juice
That’s all it is
Grown-ups say it’s okay for them
But not for us
Why do they get mad so fast?
I don’t really get it
【Verse 4】
When the clock says it’s time
“Go to bed now,” they say
But why can grown-ups
Stay up so late?
We’re all getting ready for tomorrow
It should be the same
Rubbing sleepy eyes
Crawling into bed
It’s always just us
【Bridge】
There isn’t only one right answer
We just didn’t know it yet
When I open my eyes
The world is wide
Things that grown-ups already know
Still feel like mysteries to us
【Chorus】
Why? How come?
That question becomes our wings
We take off “the way it should be”
And run into tomorrow
Why? How come?
With hearts so full
Through our own sky
We start to fly
【Final Chorus】
Why? How come?
Cutting through the wind, we run
Laughing voices, falling tears
All of it is treasure
Why? How come?
With hearts so full
Spread our wings wide
And fly away
【Outro】
Still asking “why?” and “how come?”
But right beside us, friends are here
