By The Monument - Maxïmo Park

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
