History & Art Lyrics

Do you wonder how this happened?

Do you picture where I sleep?

Can you feel it all unwinding?

Secrets that I can barely keep

Can you feel me all withdrawing?

There is poison in my blood

And by proximity you surely will be injured by my cut

The only thing I ever felt for you was all my love

My love, we are bound

By history and art

I only understood

After tearing us apart

My love, I have found

Myself a bit too far

From home after my travels

Now let me rest my weary heart

You said it would be empty

But there was water in the well

It was waiting there to find us ever since before we fell

It was waiting there to find us ever since before we fell

It's everything I need and nothing more because my love

My love, we are bound

By history and art

I only understood

After tearing us apart

My love, I have found

Myself a bit too far

From home after my travels

Now let me rest my weary heart

I have loved you more each day, though I'm not sure I can return

And spending time with you taught me a different way to learn

The nature of my being, we heard wolves howling at the moon

Or when I heard your heavy breathing as I "slept" across the room

My love, I believe

I am coming to the end

I only understood

How to break but never bend

Please grant me reprieve

Hey now, could you be a friend?

I let it all unravel

Could you forgive me yet again?
