By the Monument (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 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
