History Lessons

I don’t believe in fate but I’ve been feeling differently of late Caught in a wave I didn’t catch and no turning back And if I began to doubt that I had any room left for you in my heart To my surprise I’ve realised I’m lost in this crowd You’re studying history to know where you’re coming from No idea where I was headed, but I feel the weight it’s strong And I believe we can make it, but the burn has left its mark You can try and live in the moment, and I’ll contain my rebel heart I’ll take the day off work I said, my coffee cup left a ring on your A-Z These sacred streets lead us to the aquarium You want to see the Lion King, I want to feel the light you bring Jellyfish glow so fluorescent, I let myself begin You’re studying history to know where you’re coming from No idea where I was headed, but I feel the weight it’s strong And I believe we can make it, but the burn has left its mark You can try and live in the moment, and I’ll contain my rebel heart And this city has a memory, but it banks on its history And places come and places go, I feel stronger letting go But I want you to remember this What came before doesn’t have to have been the best Present becomes the past you realize what you’ve missed You’re studying history to know where you’re coming from No idea where I was headed, but I feel the weight it’s strong And I believe we can make it, but the burn has left its mark You can try and live in the moment, and I’ll contain my rebel heart
