Monument

Though I'll see your face again
I lost my chance to talk to a friend
Ever again
I can't believe it

Your pictures up and down the wall
On and off the stereo
In and out of the room
And I can't tell who's who

Your safety
So plainly
Come and gone
It makes it
Hard for us to
Keep it on for long

You made a monument
That's what I thought it meant
And what it said after you died
Come back and see me anytime you like

Tell that to a song or two
A friend I never have talked to
Way away
Somewhere out there

You know that I can't live like that
I can't aspire to deepest black
Made in a dream
And carrying it on to be

I've got you
And I want to
Give you back
And if you're
Not around then
I guess that I just can't help that

You made a monument
That's what I thought it meant
And what it said after you died
Come back and see me anytime you like
