History Of Britain Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Walcott 

Cover art for History Of Britain lyrics by Emmy the Great

I think this is her and someone she "loves." She wants to feel the magic that comes with love, she wants a rose with every step and love in his eyes, but he says they'll never be. She keeps dreaming but he says to wake up and see that we're pointless, we're born and then die and we're just a moment in the History of Britain, like all the other forgotten people who have lived throughout history.
