History
88Rising Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We got history (history)
Got me feeling the nostalgia
When you look at me (look at me)
Thinking 'bout what could have happened
Or what could've been
Finally a face I know, ain't that a sight to see?
Take my time then take your clothes off
One more time, maybe
Actin' like you don't recall, it ain't impressin' me
Didn't come to see your friends, I know you came for me
Like your dress, but you fit better in my wrinkled tee
We moved on to newer things, but we got history

Put my feelings all aside
Don't know how to make it right
Pictures poppin' on my mind
All these occasions
Let's work it out with me
I don't think it hurts to give another try on it
Ain't nobody here know you like I do
Ask all your friends if they know 'bout your size of shoes
How you like to cry when you laugh, when you off the booze
I moved on but I still remember a thing or two
I know you said "gimme a hug", and I said "gimme a break"
I wasn't trying my best, all the mistakes that I made
I'm learning that it ain't the right move
Learn from my mistakes, ain't that what the adults do?

We got history (history)
Got me feeling the nostalgia
When you look at me (look at me)
Thinking 'bout what could have happened
Or what could've been
Finally a face I know, ain't that a sight to see
Take my time then take your clothes off
One more time, maybe
Actin' like you don't recall, it ain't impressin' me
Didn't come to see your friends, I know you came for me
Like your dress, but you fit better in my wrinkled tee
We moved on to newer things, but we got history

Ayy, ayy, yuh
Bet you got nobody 'round to make your day better
Sun brighter, don't got too much time, so girl, let's fuck now
And talk later, put your pride aside and let me in
You know I got better since
You so good at self control, but maybe now it's time for change
I've been alone for so long, got the one
Didn't realize good ones exist in the world 'til I lost one
Eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind
Things I would give to feel your lips for the last time
Go and hang with your friends, I'll put this bullshit to end
I rained on your parade and I just wish you the best
I think it's time for me to bounce soon
I just wish I had someone to say "I'm home" to

We got history (history)
Got me feeling the nostalgia
When you look at me (look at me)
Thinking 'bout what could have happened
Or what could've been
Finally a face I know, ain't that a sight to see
Take my time then take your clothes off
One more time, maybe
Actin' like you don't recall, it ain't impressin' me
Didn't come to see your friends, I know you came for me




Like your dress, but you fit better in my wrinkled tee
We moved on to newer things, but we got history

Didn't realize good ones exist in the world 'til I lost one
I didn't appreciate that good people exist in the world until I lost you


Eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind
Seeking revenge only leads to more harm and chaos in the world


Things I would give to feel your lips for the last time
I would do anything to kiss you one last time


Go and hang with your friends, I'll put this bullshit to end
You should go hang out with your friends, I'll stop talking nonsense


I rained on your parade and I just wish you the best
I ruined your mood, and although we're not together anymore, I still wish you the best


I think it's time for me to bounce soon
I think it's time for me to leave soon


I just wish I had someone to say "I'm home" to
I wish I had someone to come home to and share my life with
