Tema[]
El tema de esta canción trata sobre una relación romántica complicada con mucha historia y altibajos. La letra expresa el deseo de volver a los buenos tiempos y ser amado y apreciado, al mismo tiempo que reconoce los errores cometidos y el miedo a repetirlos. La canción anima a dejar de lado el drama y la negatividad y a encontrar el amor dentro de uno mismo. El uso de metáforas como "wheel of fortune", ("rueda de la fortuna") y "playing ping-pong with our hearts", ("jugar al ping-pong con el corazón") se suma al tema de la imprevisibilidad y volatilidad del amor.
Letra[]
[Estrofa 1]
History, yeah, there's a lot between you and me
My brain is scrolling like a wheel of fortune
Landing on the most pleasant of memories
More sugar please
[Estrofa 2]
Hard to let go
We got so high together, dropped real low
We fucked it up so many times, rewind
Can we just go back to when we had dropped the ball?
[Gancho]
I just wanted you to love and caress me like a damn queen
After all, I gave you a throne, and my blood is hella fancy
Step up at your game and just pull down my panties
Pillow fight, then pillow talk, then eat a bunch of candy
[Pre-Coro]
Yes, my candy and your candy
So I like you 'cause you're nasty
Not afraid of letting go, and that is why we make a great team
Fuck all the drama, ain't good for our esteem
Let's delete all the negatives until we're finally clean
[Estrofa 1]
History, we're so afraid of fucking repeating the same mistakes
It feels like fate when it is great, but then we bring about the hate
And fall right off the swing, oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Estrofa 3]
Buckle up, if you weren't ready
Why did you sign up?
Don't be a ballsack, be a pussy
Strong and unbreakable since humans came about
[Estrofa 4]
Can we stop throwing tantrums at each other?
Playing ping-pong with our hearts, it's a bummer
I am right here, don't give up on me, lover
Promise you there's good shit to discover
[Estrofa 2]
History (Where we going?)
History (Where we going?)
History (Where we going?)
(History)
(Where we going, going?)
[Puente]
Pour a watering can right up above me
And tell me you love me, tell me you love me
Tell me you love me
Turn all the leaves, you would kill them to fresh greens
Turn them to fresh greens
Red, yellow and pink
[Estrofa 3]
History, we'll probably still be back and forth 'til we
Just let the past be in the past
And find the love within ourselves
Like we're supposed to be
[Outro]
(History, oh! Where we going?)
(History, oh! Where we going?)
(History, oh! Where we going?)
(History, oh! Where we going, going?)
[Estrofa 1]
History, yeah, there's a lot between you and me
My brain is scrolling like a wheel of fortune
Landing on the most pleasant of memories
More sugar please
