"Ancient History" lyrics

"Ancient History"

We're living for the taste of how things used to be
But we both know that life rolls on
Ain't nothing but a land of missed opportunities
And this was one of them

We're ancient history
Decapitated king and queen
Are we just living for the pain?
Ignoring all the clues
Always in some salty mood
Why do we live inside this place?

It's time we say
"Hey! I surrender
I don't want to make this bed no more
I'm sick of running errands at the store"
Oh oh
And say
"Hey! I surrender"
I've heard that one a billion times before
A couple of expired dinosaurs

We're ancient history!

I made myself a New Year's resolution
I'm sure this one is gonna stick
I try and think about the days
But the memories they fade
We ain't ever gonna change
Which solidifies our place in ancient history

Decapitated king and queen
Are we just living for the pain?
Ignoring all the clues
Always in some salty mood
Why do we live inside this place?

It's time we say
"Hey! I surrender
I don't want to make this bed no more
I'm sick of running errands at the store"
Oh oh
And say
"Hey! I surrender"
I've heard that one a billion times before
A couple of expired dinosaurs

We're ancient history!
