By The Monument Lyrics - Maximo 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 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 

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
