lyrics

ANCIENT HISTORY


When we had a house, we kept it up
A roof and four brick walls for all the shit we bought
And we had fast summers and slow winters
And homemade wine and frozen dinners
But I was not the man you really wanted
And living with a ghost, our house was haunted
But we found comfort in lost causes
And we sought treasure just like grave robbers
You were digging up the past like no one's business
And neither of us ever healed from all the sickness

When I had a heart, it pulsed for you
And when I had a pulse, I bled for two
But I guess there was no future, cause now we're ancient history
Like an Aztec ruin, dead, but not without mystery
Wouldn't it be a shame to live without some mystery?
And having everything could make us feel real empty
We got so lucky and we hardly knew it
And the fool I am I went and blew it
Now I don't think I'll ever love again, at least not this way
The higher up we got the more intense the dismay

When I had no foresight there was no horizon
Now I just fall asleep from drinking poison
It comes in silver cans and glass bottles
It numbs pain and hides problems
Pushing them beneath the surface of my aura
I can always go and deal with them tomorrow
Time has just flown by me like jet airplanes
Like speed boats on high octane
Could I have a day to pause and just reflect here?
I could close my eyes and wake up some time next year
I miss holding you forever after
And your bright tattoos and your brighter laughter
I was just a gypsy boy who'd gone a gamblin'
Didn't know the cards I held would win me your hand
