Old History

written by Morgan Wade, John Paul White

Wish I was Van Gogh
And knew how to paint
Beautiful pics of sinners and saints
I’d grab a canvas
And I’d paint your skin
So you could remember me long after this ends

Wish I was Shakespeare
And knew better words
And my thoughts were poems
That you’ve never heard
Foreshadow my lyrics
How my heart won’t heal
So when you leave me you’ll know how I feel

I’m not your future
Hey darlin' I know
I wanna make memories your mind can’t let go
Wanna make sure that you don’t forget me
Before I’m old history

I wish I was Mozart
And wrote symphonies
Attuned to the rhythm of my heartbeat
I'd turn myself right into a song
You’ll still be humming long after I’m gone

I’m not your future
Hey darlin' I know
I wanna make memories your mind can’t let go
Wanna make sure that you don’t forget me
Before I’m old history
