Kina Grannis - History Lyrics






That song reminds me of summers
Of family, of backyards, of you and me
If I went back there, straight back
To the place where I wondered what we could be

I'd laugh
Who'd have thought?
Who'd have thought?

That song reminds me of Newhart of 90s
Of petty, and heavy things
I still remember what life was like back then
Before I had learned to speak

I'd hide
Sing it out, sing it out
Sing it out, sing it out

I felt it all, the kissing and fighting
I know the cost, I stayed home on New Year's Eve
All in all, I'd rather be right here than
Falling off the pages of history

Hmm, pages of history
Hmm

If I remind you of childhood, of memories
Of times both bitter and sweet
Let's take that feeling right here to this moment
And sow it into the seams

My love
Hold it all, hold it all
Hold it all, hold it all

I felt it all, the kissing and fighting
I know the cost, I stayed home on New Year's Eve
All in all, I'd rather be right here than
Falling off the pages of history

Oh, pages of history
Oh, pages of history
Hmm

Kina Grannis History Comments
  1. L.... P....

    some times I don't know how to talk to people so what I do is I make weird noises in replace. That's been going on for a few years and now everyone sees me as this non-serious person when privately I feel so sad all the time

  2. M.... M....

    I think this is my favourite KG Video, you can see her mind ticking over as she thinks of how to write the lyrics, it's beautiful.

  3. L.... P....

    I started crying again when I listened

  4. M.... W....

    Well done.! Amazing 💛😎

  5. m.... c....

    is flipped? why isnt the words backwards

    Another beautifully crafted song, performed and recorded by a skilled singer/songwriter, who is (as yet) virtually unknown here in the UK. Kina's songs seem so simple, but this is somewhat deceptive. There are in fact subtleties in the vocal harmonies and guitar playing which indicate a high level of musical intelligence. The result here is a very accessible song, easy on the ear, where the lyrics and the way the song 'unfolds' is organic. Yet this apparent simplicity is in fact mixed in with some intriguing nuances which greatly enhance her compositions. These factors place her firmly in the gifted, and far from ordinary artist. A pure delight to listen to.

  14. E.... T....

    Kgrecords.
    Kina your a gorgeous soul with a beautiful voice and soft tones that let you drift away much love.

  53. T.... W....

    That song reminds me of the same things. Was it worth the heaviness just to feel the weight? And somehow we all had the same backwards page of unspoken words and thought we were the only ones; back when god read our poetry. Makes you sometimes wish you could borrow the heat of a Newhart moment and apply it to the one sitting in front of you.

  54. a.... _....

    You have so much charming skills
    marvelous
