geoffrey short how history grips şarkı sözleri
Guilty waitress starts her shift at noon
In a diner tucked among some trees
She's found a little peace in this greasy spoon
Her heart is numb cleaning crumbs where the last guy sat
She wants to wipe away the past
but only wipes the plastic placemats
She knows what being lonely means
Then a handsome smile in a pair of jeans walked in
And it begins
(Pre-Chorus)
CHORUS 1
Her history holds her
It’s cruel and scolds her
Nothing tighter than the fingertips
When history grips
Her past attacks her
Pulls and smacks her
Casts a shadow like a dark eclipse
That’s how history grips
Verse 2
The guilty waitress and her customer
He orders things he doesn't want
Just to spend some time in this restaurant with her
A few months later and she still resists
But he persists he's an optimist
But her shame has a grip like an iron fist
What will she miss?
(Pre-Chorus 2)
(CHORUS 2)
Bridge
She’s made mistakes
She can’t erase
They always seem to find her
She’s better than
those days back then
Why can’t it be behind her?
(CHORUS 3)
Last Verse
He says to her""what’s chasing you
caught you long ago""
It’s time for it to let you go
I only know our love can grow
Forgive yourself, God forbid
and so she did
