I'd start all over with you
If my heart, head, and hands would let me too
I'd start all over with you
If history didn't stand in between
us like a thick fog clouding the mountain tops
And I'd start all over with you
If I didn't know your name
didn't know you
And things could stay the same
as they were
then I'd start all over with you

But don't start with me
History is keeping me from loving you and getting back to you
History is keeping me from loving you and getting back to you

I go from girl to girl to girl
And I'll keep going
I go from girl to girl to girl
And I'm not grieving your loss
I was in love
But I'm not
And I could go back, go back, go back to you
But...

History is keeping me from loving you and getting back to you
History is keeping me from loving you and getting back to you

And it's history that's always made that distance separating
