History

Here we are in place
Staring face to face
Awkward arms embrace
A little taste of history
Clothes are on the floor
We've been through this before
Know just what's in store
A little more of history

And if you want to keep me
You'd better hold on tight
Don't look ahead too far now
Let's make it through the night
And when you can't release me
Your vacant eyes will stray
A bitter observation
Well I'm better off this way

Walking down the street
My heart is in my feet
Wondering when we'll meet
We can't repeat our history
Reaching for the phone
I can't leave this alone
The past few days have shown
We should have known our history

And if you want to keep me
You'd better hold on tight
Don't look ahead too far now
Let's make it through the night
And when you can't release me
Your vacant eyes will stray
A bitter observation
Well I'm better off this way
Better off this way
I'm better off this way
Better off this way
I'm better off this way

If you want to keep me
Hold on tight
No regrets
Just make it through the night

But I'm better off this way

And if you want to keep me
You'd better hold on tight
Don't look ahead too far now
Let's make it through the night
And when you can't release me
Your vacant eyes will stray
A bitter observation
Well I'm better off this way

And if you want to keep me
You'd better hold on tight
Don't look ahead too far now
Let's make it through the night
And when you can't release me
My hapless eyes will stray
A bitter observation
Well I'm better off this way
