You laughed like you forgave it all
But your fingers tapped that glass
I asked about your work, your dog
We talked around the past

[transition]

[singer B]
There's too much history between us
To just call this a casual night
Every joke got a backstory
Every look pulled me back in time
We can toast to how we turned out
Act like nothing's missing, we're fine
But there's too much history between us
For my heart to stay in line (oh yeah)

[singer B]
You asked if I still wake up
At 4 a.m. like I used to
Said, "You finally quit that habit?"
I said, "Some things still choose you"
The waiter brought that dish you hate
You smirked, "You always loved that one"
Little things only you could catch
Hit harder than the drink had done

You said, "I'm seeing someone new"
Then watched my face too close
I smiled bigger than I felt inside
You nodded like you know

[singer A]
There's too much history between us
To just call this a casual night
Every joke got a backstory
Every look pulled me back in time
We can toast to how we turned out
Act like nothing's missing, we're fine
But there's too much history between us
For my heart to stay in line (oh yeah)

[melodic transition]

[singer A]
Your hand brushed mine
Reaching for the bill
Pulled back fast
But the air stood still
You said, "We're good, right?"
Like a test, like a plea
I said, "Yeah, of course"
But my chest disagreed (mm)

[transition]

[singer B]
There's too much history between us
For a quick hug out by the door
Every street on your way home
Runs past what we were before
We can walk in two directions
Call this closure, call it "all right"
But there's too much history between us
So I carry you home tonight (inside)
There's too much history between us
And it still won’t say goodnight
