Lyrics for How as interpreted by dev0n

How Lyrics
Didn't come this far
for you to make this hard for me
and now you want to ask me how.

How does your heart beat?
Why do you breathe?
How does your heart beat?
Why do you breathe?

Why did you come here?
You weren't invited
and you're on the outside,
stay on the outside.
And now you want to ask me why.

It's like.
How does your heart beat?
How do you cry?
How does your heart beat?

And there are some things that I like to figure out.
There are some things that I can do without.
You and your letters are gone forever.

You and the people,
they were never friends;
never friends;
never friends.

With all the things that you could be,
you never could learn how to be me.
And now you want to ask me how.

How does your heart beat?
Why do you breathe?
How does you heart beat?
Why do you breathe?

How do you breathe?

OK, first of all, part of the lyrics is wrong. It's "You and your letters that go on forever." Not "are gone forever." I love this song so much. I'm not gonna go into an analysis what it means to me, cuz basically this could relate to anyone for several different situations.

Quote from Lisa Loeb:

"How is a song sort of about being under a microscope, and also the people holding the microscope. About working so hard for something, letting people examine me close up to find they're more interested in their own preconceptions than in finding out who I really am. The song was originally used in the movie "Twister.""

i kinda take this part:

With all the things that you could be,
you never could learn how to be me.
And now you want to ask me how.

as talking about ppl who are so concerned with my life and my drama and how ridiculous it is because they could be so many things and im sure have such great talents and skills but all they do is talk shit and concentrate on other ppls lives that they dont even realize their own capabilities and thats kinda sad that they have to ruin other ppls lives just to make theirs have a purpose...high school gossip...it makes me sad

I first heard this song on Buffy and then on Dawson’s Creek. It has so much meaning and can be related to different situations.

To me, the song is about having loved someone who didn’t appreciate you at the right time. Later on, when you moved on, that person finally decides to notice you. That’s why she says “I didn’t come this far for you to make it hard on me”.

At the end when she mentions, “Of all the things that you could be, you never could learn how t o be me, and now you want to ask me… how”, means that whoever she’s singing to will never understand her or keep up with her feelings… so eventually he’s left bemused…
