Lyrics:
Who’s gonna tell us the stories
That our textbooks don’t?
Tales of love that stay blurry
‘Cause our courses won’t
Ignore the way they’re designed
To erase the past
To keep good intentions secret
To force a mask
Too many handwritten letters
Signed to “my dearest, with love”
All pulled from their papers
Ripped out as cover-up
To disguise endearment as friendly notes
It doesn’t take a scholar
To know how this one goes
And historians will call them
Close friends besties, roommates, colleagues
Anything but lovers
History hates lovers
Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies
Anything but lovers
History hates lovers
40 years living together
Wearing the same wedding bands
Two kids and a golden retriever
“Just friends” don’t live like that
They don’t look at each other
with love in their eyes
With hopes to settle down
For the rest of their lives
How many decades of hiding?
Twenty-one centuries of hate
Some things may not have been okay back then
But it’s sure alright today
Too afraid to call it what it is
Doesn’t take a scholar
To understand this
And historians will call them
Close friends besties, roommates, colleagues
Anything but lovers
History hates lovers
Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies
Anything but lovers
History hates lovers
Keep it hidden
Rewrite history
Leave it wrapped up
In a mystery
Because no one can figure it out
(I think they’ve figured it out)
Stash the proof
Hide the evidence
Keep it locked up
‘Til it’s relevant
Because they can’t figure it out
(They figured it out.They figured it out.)
Because no one can figure it out
I think they figured it out.
And historians will call them
Close friends besties, roommates, colleagues
Anything but lovers
History hates lovers
Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies
Anything but lovers
History hates lovers

Lesbian archaeologist-to-be here, and I'm proud to say that the new generation of historians does, in fact, love lovers! 🥰

This song makes me think of every uncannon LGBTQ+ ship that has a lot of chemistry in the cannon book/movie/tvshow.

i still remember when we were doing the illiad in my high school latin class and my teacher was like "achilles and patroclus were probably in love but historians don't really like that so you'll have to say they were comrades in the exam"

I remember we were reading a story in history class and we were reading about two woman who were “best friends”, my history teacher literally said “And we all know they were more of lovers but historians suck so that’s not going to happen” and honestly that was amazing

As a Bi-woman who has a passion for queer history, this song slams me in the chest. I want to blast this to the world. I love how cheerful the song sounds but at the same time, damn does it just hit me like a semi-truck.
