History on Tour — a continuation of “Now We're Making History”

Intro

Mm

Heart still buzzing

Mm

Verse 1

The dragon took the high road

Said he'd meet me at the ocean

I packed the kettle in a suitcase

Filled the toast slots with devotion

The violins had scattered

Like confetti in the wind

Your kiss had left a watermark

On everything I pinned

Pre-Chorus

But the fans kept screaming

For an encore of the dream

And somewhere a piano

Startled awake mid-scheme

Chorus

So we're taking history on tour

Loading all the bells into a van

A thousand microphones and broken rules

The loudest thing I've ever been a man

Verse 2

The Dragon's invoice followed me

To a motel by the shore

My kingdom shrank to kingdom come

And I owed him so much more

I counted orchestras in gravel

Dreamt a cello in the sand

Your hand kept finding my hand

Like we both had the same plan

Pre-Chorus

Breakfast happened somewhere

In the rearview of the night

Now the moon is folding

Every warning into white

Chorus

So we're taking history on tour

Loading all the bells into a van

A thousand microphones and broken rules

The loudest thing I've ever been a man

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Bridge

I could be your footnote

In the margin of the sea

Or the tax return of heaven

Crying over C major three

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

I loved you in the toll booth

I loved you at the pier

The dragon sent a postcard

With a postage stamp of fear

It said the ocean's rented

And the tide is overdue

Your kiss is my collateral

What else is there to do

Pre-Chorus

But baby you're the only truth

The only invoice of my heart

Even with the ocean

We don't know where we start

Chorus

So we're taking history on tour

Loading all the bells into a van

A thousand microphones and broken rules

The loudest thing I've ever been a man

The waves are singing back to us

The tides have learned the words by heart

We drove the van right off the pier

And now we're floating in the dark

Outro

The dragon's watching from the shore

Waving a receipt

Baby hold my hand

The ocean's turning sweet
