History Of My Life Lyrics

Hot pink catamarans
The food begging call of the pelicans
They're skimming garbage and sifting over
Disappointing gifts from friends

Oh God, couldn't I just change
The history of my life sometimes?
The history of my life sometimes?

I'm growing my hair out
On my head and on my face right now
Gonna try real hard
To keep from speaking very loud

Oh God, couldn't I just change
The history of my life sometimes?
The history of my life sometimes?

Some field where the rains never fell
The sky owes the ground a wishing well
But I'm living in a dry spell
Throwing ashes into flames Oh God, couldn't I just change
The history of my life sometimes?
The history of my life sometimes?

Been smiling so hard that I couldn't hardly see
My parents weren't in love, they were still taking care of me
And I've taken in much more than some people ever see in their lifetime

And maybe I know something that's turning the sea around
And the sun that's sprouting seeds from underground
And someone is coming to rely on me somehow

Oh God, couldn't I just change
The history of my life somehow?
The history of my life somehow?
The history of my life somehow?
