I said hey, history
You know they're gonna blame you for everything
I think it's time you split the scene
Just take my car
Take the keys
And go lay low somewhere for a few centuries
Find some easier company
'cause I said hey, history
Well here comes the neighbourhood man and you'd better believe
You don't want these folks for an enemy
[Chorus]
I was standing on a beach
Couldn't tell if I was awake or asleep
Yeah the wheels in my head were just, spinning free
But I won't let you down
If you don't go changin'
If you'll just come around
I promise we'll find you
Something to look forward to
Now hey, history
If first time around you don't succeed
Best clear your sh** from the library
And become something else entirely
Instead of drunk in a motel room watching tv
It's the weather channel
It's the series finale
And I said hey now, hey, history
Well don't just sit there staring back at eternity
Thinking about how things might have been
I was standing on a beach
You were somewhere up in the distance ahead of me when the brainiac birds started circling
But I won't let you down
If you don't go changin'
And if you'll just turn around
You'll see, right behind you
Something to look forward to
Something to look forward to
Something to look forward to
Now hey, history
Well I know someday you'll fix everything
And we'll start again, just you and me
