I could read novels cause I’d follow the mystery,
When it came to the calculus, the problems were this to me,
Then when you said goodbye, not followed by a kiss to me,
I just knew I would flunk, or drop out of this history,

I must’ve been confused, looking for love inside of you,
Searched for freedom from my despair, running 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,

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,

Is there a treaty I can sign, because you treat me so unkind,
In economics, I was smart, but I 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,

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 the other day,
Now this class, I must repeat, I gotta pass this history,

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,,

Why can’t we just say hi, and forget the story,
We can’t go back in time, but will you listen for me?
