History Songtext
von Dylan Galvin

It seems only yesterday we stood
Beneath our moonlight getaway
There we could stay forever young
And that was the beauty of this place
She will be leaving here at dawn
The train never comes a minute late
They′ll erase all the pictures she has drawn
And coax her to forget my face

Stay inside with me
Light a candle on the windowpane
So they can see
Burn our eulogy
Grab the pen and change the pages of
Our history


They talk about trying to kill the time
While time is slowly killing them
It's all too easy to let us slip away
One by one, they sing the requiem
They say that one day we′re all we have
So let's make a mess and hope what's left will hold fast

Stay inside with me
Light a candle on the windowpane
So they can see
Burn our eulogy
Grab the pen and change the pages of
Our history

The clocks made it clear that soon after she′s gone they′ll come for me
That's just the way the rules have always been
But I′ve got a trick or two still up my sleeve
And I've got no intention of going quietly

Stay inside with me
Light a candle on the windowpane
So they can see
Burn our eulogy
Grab the pen and change the pages of
Our history
