Ancient History
Set It Off Lyrics

No, there's no denying chemistry this strong
The connection between us is undeniably strong

Yes, pretend it's right but we both know it's wrong
We both know that pretending our connection is right is wrong

Thinking about the storm advancing
I am anticipating the emotional storm that is approaching

Thinking about the lightning dancing in your eyes
I can see the excitement and energy in your eyes

But I, can't shake these memories I bring inside
I am unable to let go of the memories that I carry within me

Tension builds, I think we're under-thinking part time thrills
We are not considering the potential consequences of our temporary enjoyment

I know, I know how to drive you wild
I know how to excite and entice you

You know, you know how to make me smile
You know how to bring joy to my life

But I need you to be my ancient history
I need to let go of our connection and make it a thing of the past

Damn, pick up the phone, I know I'm drunk again
I am reaching out to you intoxicated, knowing that it's not a good idea

And you, know my intentions cause it's two AM
You know that I am reaching out to you for the wrong reasons, late at night

It's fun and games until we both get hurt
Our connection is enjoyable until it causes us emotional pain

We play with fire cause we like the way it burns
We are risking emotional pain for the excitement and passion of our connection

No use in catching up a sinking ship
It's not worth trying to save something that is doomed to fail

This is the last time we do this, baby
This is the final time we will engage in this behavior

This is the last time you taste my lips
You will no longer experience the physical connection we have shared

You'll get cast away
You will ultimately be rejected and left alone

Let me throw you cross the bed
I will be in control and dominate our connection

Got you running cross my head
I can't stop thinking about you and our connection

When I know I should be sleeping
I should be disconnected and moving on, but I cannot

But I can't escape
I am in too deep to escape my feelings

You're addicted to the last taste
You are unable to let go of the physical connection we have shared

Imagine that we trust
We have a false trust in each other and our connection

But you're begging for it, screaming for it
You are craving and asking for the emotional pain that our connection brings

Here we go, now it's time to cut the cord
It's time to let go of our connection and move on

And abandon all support
We must let go of any support we have given to each other and our connection

I know, I know how to drive you wild
I know how to excite and entice you

You know, you know how to make me smile
You know how to bring joy to my life

But I need you to be my ancient history
I need to let go of our connection and make it a thing of the past

I know, I know who you really are
I know your true self, beyond our connection

You know, you know how to break my heart
You know how to cause me emotional pain and heartbreak

But I need you to be my ancient history
I need to let go of our connection and make it a thing of the past
