Maxïmo Park

By the Monument Lyrics

You said you'd like to see me again
And then, it all unravelled
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 effort
I touched the place where your hair had been
I pulled on the shirt that you left round mine

Defacing pictures of famous people on the train
Standing by the monument just waiting for the rain

In my wallet with your photobooth 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 seperate 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

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
