History, you say

But you don't mean the war that tore the world apart

Not this war

Not this world

(Not yet)

History, you say

Looking out at the past

Remembering

The broken soldier who learned to love

The blonde girl with the stars in her eyes

(The girl who made him better)

Remembering

The Captain, the Idiot, the World of Zeppelins

Pete's World

(Her World)

History, you say

But you don't mean the war that tore the world apart

(You mean the war that tore her away)
