History Lessons Songtext
von Allo Darlin’

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 heading
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
And these sacred streets lead us to the aquarium
And 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 heading
But I feel the weight, it′s so 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 close
I feel stronger letting go
And I want you to remember this
What came before doesn't have to have been the best
Present becomes the past
You realise what you′ve missed


You′re studying history
To know where you're coming from
No idea where I was heading
But I feel the weight, it′s so 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
