An Unreliable Historian Lyrics by Ideamen

Trained When We’re Young

2017

Write it down, leather bound
Tonight, I will keep tonight
Feeling ground, ask me now
Tonight, save your breath
Tonight for me, please
How would I know what I saw at the show?
How would I know if I was even there?
How would I know what I saw at the show?
How would I know?
It’s so frustrating
La la la, la la la la
La la la, I couldn’t make this for you
La la la, la la la la
La la la, I couldn’t fake this
Memory is like water
Falling from my cupped hands
Every day is another chance to uncover
Who I was
I don’t want to forget tonight
Tie a string around my finger
Pull it so tight
When I say I don’t remember
I don’t think you understand
But it’s all right
Memory is like water
Falling from my cupped hands
Every day is another chance to uncover
Who I was
Let me breathe please
Let me breathe please
(Let me breathe please)
I don’t want to forget tonight
(Let me breathe please)
Tie a string around my finger
Pull it so tight
There it goes
Down it goes
Goodbye
Nothing but a memory
Of a memory
That’s mine
There it goes
There it goes
There it goes
What have I done?
I’m the sum
My history
News to me
