It's History

Do you remember the night I fell in love with you
Under sleeping bags and high ceilings?
I lost my nerve when your fingers touched mine
I forgot how to breathe

Do you remember the night we slept in your bedroom
And stayed up with your arm across my chest?
I didn't mention that the bed was too small for two
I didn't want you to leave

Do you remember the night you kept giving me more time
But I still never gave you an answer?
I tried to figure out how I felt, I swear I did
But everything I came up with was lies

Do you remember the night I confessed it to you
And how I finally fell asleep on your floor?
I woke up early and watched you lying in the sunlilght
I'd been feeling lonely for months

Do you remember the night I insisted on staying next to you
And you didn't disagree?
You found me in the livingroom the next morning
I had to stop watching you sleep

Do you remember the night I told everyone about you
And suddenly everything felt better and worse?
You weren't there. There were twelve of us in the dark
But only one put her hand on my head

Do you remember the night she asked me if I called it love
And I admitted I still wasn't sure?
You were in Seattle somewhere
You didn't know I was moving on

Do you remember the night you held my hand as we walked
And I kept my fingers loose as you held tight?
You didn't notice my silence
Neither of us knew this was the end

Do you remember the night I fell in love with you
And never talked about it later?
I guess it was a long time ago now
I guess you can forget it if you want
