This is the full version of "History"! Originally, the "Singing In the Shower EP" included a 1:31 snippet of this song.
lyrics
{Intro}
I could read novels 'cause I'd follow the mystery,
When it came to the Calculus, the problems were this to me - (Snap)
But when you said goodbye, not followed by a kiss to me,
I just knew I would flunk, or drop out of this History,
{Verse 1}
I must've been confused,
Looking for love inside of you,
Searched for freedom from my despair,
Runnin' my fingers through your hair,
Walked down the street holding your hands,
I thought that I would be your man,
Little did I know you would leave,
Quickly became your History,
{Chorus 1}
My favorite subject was always Math,
You and I equaled one, each of us a half,
Science and English, I would get by,
Anatomy, captured me, you were so damn fine,
Then I took a class, in Social Studies,
It was hard to pass, so boring to study,
Now I'm in your past, can't you see?
That's why I never, never liked History,
{Verse 2}
Is there a treaty I can sign?
Because you treat me so unkind,
In Economics, I was smart,
Couldn't find how to buy your heart,
I was yours, but you weren't mine,
Should've put in more study time,
Then I wouldn't have got a D,
In my class of History,
{Chorus 2}
My favorite subject was always Math,
You and I equaled one, each of us a half,
Science and English, I would get by,
Anatomy, captured me, you were so damn fine,
Then I took a class, in Social Studies,
It was hard to pass, so boring to study,
Now I'm in your past, can't you see?
That's why I never, never liked History,
{Verse 3}
Should've enrolled in Politics,
Then I'd been ready for all of your tricks,
I didn't care about the wars,
Look, all I wanted was to be yours,
Those peace talks, they were a waste,
'Cause you walked out the other day,
Now this class I must repeat, I gotta pass this History,
{Chorus 3}
My favorite subject was always Math,
You and I equaled one, each of us a half,
Science and English, I would get by,
Anatomy, captured me, you were so damn fine,
Then I took a class, in Social Studies,
It was hard to pass, so boring to study,
Now I'm in your past, can't you see?
Can't you see, can't you see, hey!
{Bridge}
Why can't I be your present?
Instead of your past,
Now all I have are memories,
Why didn't it last?
What happened to our Chemistry?
Did we run out of gas?
Should've taken Psychology,
Maybe I'd understand,
{Speaking}
See, if I would've taken Psychology,
Maybe I'd understand where you're coming from,
And you know, maybe, where you're goin'?
{Chorus 4}
My favorite subject was always Math,
You and I equaled one, each of us a half,
Science and English, I would get by,
Anatomy, captured me, you were so damn fine...
It's not too late to change history,
It's not too late to change your mind.
