In Your History Lyrics Meanings
by Noelle Acaso

I see our future in your history
A litany of the things you've done to me
And I believe in happy endings
But we need more than mending
A miracle might do
And you, with your big city smile
Lighting up the night
Making me believe that you'll be
Different for a while
Truth forsaken but fingers tracing
Every step you're taking on the pavement
And I, and I've heard the stories
But ignored the warnings
Of all who said that you were no good for me
And I come to walk the tightrope
Too high to let go
I see our future in your history
A litany of the things you've done to me
And I believe in happy endings
But we need more than mending
A miracle might do
And you, with your big city dreams
Overpriced jeans
Always breaking promises to
Keep me guessing
Heart full of wonder
Nights felt longer
But you're counting down the seconds
Till you call her
And I, and I've heard the stories
But ignored the warnings
Of all who said that you were no good for me
And I come to walk the tightrope
Too high to let go
I see our future in your history
A litany of the things you've done to me
And I believe in happy endings
But we need more than mending
A miracle might do
A miracle might do
And what you do to me
How you're cruel to me
A miracle might do
And what you do to me
How you're cruel to me
And I, and I've heard the stories
But ignored the warnings
Yeah
And I come to walk the tightrope
Too high to let go
I see our future in your history
A litany of the things you've done to me
And I believe in happy endings
But we need more than mending
A miracle might do
A miracle might do
Yeah
A miracle might do
Woah oh
A miracle might do
Yeah
A miracle might do

I see our future in your history
A litany of the things you've done to me
And I believe in happy endings
But we need more than mending
A miracle might do
And you, with your big city smile
Lighting up the night
Making me believe that you'll be
Different for a while
Truth forsaken but fingers tracing
Every step you're taking on the pavement
And I, and I've heard the stories
But ignored the warnings
Of all who said that you were no good for me
And I come to walk the tightrope
Too high to let go
I see our future in your history
A litany of the things you've done to me
And I believe in happy endings
But we need more than mending
A miracle might do
And you, with your big city dreams
Overpriced jeans
Always breaking promises to
Keep me guessing
Heart full of wonder
Nights felt longer
But you're counting down the seconds
Till you call her
And I, and I've heard the stories
But ignored the warnings
Of all who said that you were no good for me
And I come to walk the tightrope
Too high to let go
I see our future in your history
A litany of the things you've done to me
And I believe in happy endings
But we need more than mending
A miracle might do
A miracle might do
And what you do to me
How you're cruel to me
A miracle might do
And what you do to me
How you're cruel to me
And I, and I've heard the stories
But ignored the warnings
Yeah
And I come to walk the tightrope
Too high to let go
I see our future in your history
A litany of the things you've done to me
And I believe in happy endings
But we need more than mending
A miracle might do
A miracle might do
Yeah
A miracle might do
Woah oh
A miracle might do
Yeah
A miracle might do
