Monuments Lyrics

I look up at night

Grounded by the planes in the sky

If I fly westward to them

Will I ever wanna go back home again?

Birdsong bleeding through my headphones

This time I think I'll stay outside

Writing notes and nobody knows

How much it aches inside

The lighting in the airport feels so good

If I could come back here every week, you know I would

Spent two years sitting in my room

The only good thing about that was learning from you

Fridge magnet from golden gate

Even though I never went

You're crying out on the street

Even though I never meant to hurt you

In the gift shop, find a monument

In the gift shop, buy a magnet

In the gift shop, find a monument

In the gift shop, buy a magnet

Monuments pinned to the door

Of all the places I've been before

Fridge magnet from sunny state

I've gotta write about this before it fades away

You don't know how it feels

Crying on the flight back home, I remember

You don't know how it feels

Crying on the flight back home, I remember

(In the gift shop, find a monument

In the gift shop, buy a magnet)

You don't know how it feels

Crying on the flight back home, I remember

I wanna go back, will you have me back?

I've gotta go back, will you take me back?

I liked you better when you thought I was a good person

I'm smashing my head against my desk

Destroy all the shame that lives inside of my bad brain

Cus sometimes I like it here

(Dig through the trash, I didn't mean to hold so tight

Dig through the trash, maybe someday I'll get it right)

Sit at the departure gate as I feel it leave me

Everything that tethered me these past two years

Was this a grave mistake or could you believe me?

I'm laying down a path for the next two years

I don't know where I end and it begins

Take it slow

So I can settle in

Can this be a five year plan?

I can't leave you in this hallway

No one understands

I wish it was like how it was before

Go to the store

I wanna be so close to you

I can't go to the store

I wish it was like how it was before

I don't mind how I'm living

Take it day by day

The day is almost over but at least I'm awake

It shouldn't scare me

That I'm still in love with that moment
