History
ÉñÔÏ£¨The Verve£© Lyrics

I wander lonely streets
I am wandering alone in the quiet streets

Behind where the old Thames does flow
I am walking near the historic Thames river

And in every face I meet
I see a reflection of what I am running from in every person's face

Oh reminds me of what I have run from
Every person's face reminds me of my past fears and mistakes

In every man, in every hand
The desire to live life to the fullest is present in every man and every hand

In every kiss, you understand
You can feel the passion of life in every romantic kiss

That living is for other men
Living should not just be for others, but for oneself as well

I hope you two will understand
I hope that you both can understand my perspective on life

I've gotta tell you my tale
I feel the need to share my experiences and emotions with you

Of how I loved and how I failed
I will talk about the ups and downs of my past romantic relationships

I hope you understand
I hope you can empathize with my failures and mistakes

These feelings should not be in the man
Men should not be afraid to express their emotions and be vulnerable

In every child, in every eye
Every child and every eye contains hope and innocence

In every sky, above my head
The beauty of nature and the sky above me can give me comfort and peace

I hope that I know
I hope that I can find my own way and discover my true purpose in life

So come with me to bed
Join me in exploring new possibilities and experiences

Because it's you and me, we're history
The memories and moments we share will become a part of our personal history

There ain't nothing left to say
We have said and experienced everything we need to together

When I will get you alone
When we have some alone time, we can truly connect and understand each other

Maybe we could find a room
We can explore each other's bodies and emotions in a private setting

Where we could see what we should do
We can figure out our next steps in our relationship when we are alone together

Maybe you know it's true
You may have some insights about our relationship that I am not aware of

Living with me's like keeping a fool
Living with me can be challenging and unpredictable

And one and one is two
The basic math of a couple is one person plus another person equals two

But three is company
A third person, whether it's a friend or a child, can make the couple's life even more fulfilling

When you're thinking about the things you do
Being introspective can help you make better decisions in life

I want to tell you my tale
I want to share my story and how I got to where I am now with you

How I fell in love and jumped out on my bail
I will tell you about my past romantic relationships and how they ended poorly

Do you understand there's more in a smile than in a hand
A simple smile can convey more warmth and connection than a physical touch

There's one thing that I might have missed
I might have missed an opportunity or a person in my past due to my mistakes

Why am I going to
Why am I still stuck in my past and unable to move on

A place that now belongs to you
I feel like I gave up so much of myself in past relationships and now that place belongs to someone else

But you were weak and so am I
Both of us have our own weaknesses and vulnerabilities that we need to address and work on

Let's pick it up, let's even try
Let's make an effort to work on our relationship and grow together

To live today, so why not smile
We should focus on living in the present and enjoying the little moments in life

Don't dream away your life 'cause it is mine, it is mine
Don't let your dreams and goals become mine instead of yours

Is that a crime, is that a crime, this life is mine
It's not a crime to pursue your own dreams and desires, since it's your own life

But the bed ain't made, it's filled full of hope
Our relationship may be messy and unpredictable, but there is still potential for love and growth

I've got a skin full of dope
I am willing to take risks and try new things in life, even if it might end badly

Oh the bed ain't made but it's filled full of hope
Despite the chaos and uncertainty, there is still a chance for us to create a beautiful future together
