Nothing But History

Don't forget what you know,
keep in mind what you don't.
I say you move too fast,
You say I move too slow
Its not the speed.
Howd you forget all the history?

Shes at church on the weekdays,
the priest leaves and she stays.
God better tear those walls down.
And I cant hold a flame,
to light a fire up in the rain.
The bed you made and the debts I paid,
wont set me free.
Theres nowhere left to go until the back door breaks on me.
Dont forget all that I said
with your lies in my head.
You cant seem to say the words that I can see in your face.
So stay in all night,
because I might want to come over.
To keep whats left and forget.
To keep whats left and forget.
When you turn away
When youre walking home
On a winter's night
I am there with you.
When you fall asleep
on the broken ground.
When you walk away.
I am here with you.
Keep your eyes on the road,
push down on the pedal,
may you listen now to the silence
that fills in every night
while you echo in this heart of mine.
and as the silence fades every page you write
turns back to me,
youre so clever in disguise in the light of your own marquee.
Theres nothing but lights and they shine all night
cause you know,
Theres nothing but history, and nothing but me leaving you alone.
So stay in all night,
because I might want to come over.
To keep whats left and forget.
To keep whats left and forget.
When you turn away
When youre walking home
On winters night
I am there with you.
When you fall asleep
on the broken ground.
When you walk away.
I am here with you.
