Paroles de History Buff
I couldn't tell youMuch about London in '64
Much about Franklin and Elenor
But I know exactly how we left the kitchen
And I couldn't tell you
When the moon met our first rocketship
When they built all of those pyramids
But I could spend hours reminiscing
That first date, your kiss
Parties, we missed
'Cause we happier just staying in
The first time you cried
I hate that night
And how well I remember it
Now I'm no good at small talk, it always goes South
'Cause every time that I open my mouth
I star to monologue, spilling my guts
How it began and how I messed it up
Close friends or strangers, it's always the same
Give me five minutes, I'll mention your name
I keep reciting the story of us
Like I'm some kind of history buff
(I tried to forget it) I memorized dates for no reason
But every Fall, yeah, it all hits me like a freight train
Flip back to the same page (And study it over again)
Now I'm no good at small talk, it always goes South
'Cause every time that I open my mouth
I star to monologue, spilling my guts
How it began and how I messed it up
Close friends or strangers, it's always the same
Give me five minutes, I'll mention your name
I keep reciting the story of us
Like I'm some kind of history buff
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I hate that night
How well I remember it
How well I remember it
Now I'm no good at small talk, it always goes South
'Cause every time that I open my mouth
I star to monologue, spilling my guts
How it began and how I messed it up
Close friends or strangers, it's always the same
Give me five minutes, I'll mention your name
I keep reciting the story of us
Like I'm some kind of history buff
But I could spend hours reminiscing
That first date, your kiss
Parties, we missed
'Cause we happier just staying in
The first time you cried
I hate that night
And how well I remember it
Now I'm no good at small talk, it always goes South
'Cause every time that I open my mouth
I star to monologue, spilling my guts
How it began and how I messed it up
Close friends or strangers, it's always the same
