Maximo Park By The Monument Lyrics

By The Monument Lyrics

You said you'd like to see me again

And then it all unraveled

I heard that you were seeing someone

Not such an insignificant other



It seems my moves were far too swift in life

Some things are worth the efforts

I touched the place where your hair had been

I pull on the shirt that you left 'round mine



Defacing the pictures of famous people on the train

Standing by the monument, just waiting for the rain



In my wallet with your photo booth smile

And I, wearing my waterproof jacket

Posterity has hold of us now

Am I just waiting for the next chapter?



We'll sleep tonight in separate towns

At dusk we see our disparate futures

I tore a sock to bind up your golden hair

We found a hotel bar to sustain our last night in vain



Defacing pictures of famous people on the train

Standing by the monument, just waiting for the rain

I'm just passing my time with you on my mind

I'm just passing my time



No more late night calls

Where tear drops fall

No more late night calls

Where tear drops fall, tear drops fall



Standing by the monument, just waiting for the rain

I'm just passing my time with you on my mind

I'm just wasting my precious time



I'm just wasting my time with you on my mind
