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
