Monument Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's Monday morning, and I would kill for a chance to drive
Get so far away from here, with you, my dear, that I'll never leave your side
Nobody knows the troubles I've seen
In a van, on a soapbox for the world to see
[Chorus]
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
[Verse 2]
We're getting older, I've started to fear for my life
Is this the way that it should be? This whole thing's riding on me
It's been a long road so far with nowhere to turn
There's no looking back from here, no more dwelling on my fears
[Chorus]
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
[Bridge]
Twenty bucks says you'll remember me
When you see me on your TV screen
It may be the first time
But it won't be the last time
Twenty bucks says you'll remember me
When you see me on your TV screen
It may be the first time
But it won't be the last time
Twenty bucks says you'll remember me
When you see me on your TV screen
It may be the first time
But it won't be the last time
It's Monday morning, and I would kill for a chance to drive
Get so far away from here, with you, my dear, that I'll never leave your side
Nobody knows the troubles I've seen
In a van, on a soapbox for the world to see
[Chorus]
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
[Verse 2]
We're getting older, I've started to fear for my life
Is this the way that it should be? This whole thing's riding on me
It's been a long road so far with nowhere to turn
There's no looking back from here, no more dwelling on my fears
[Chorus]
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me
To be a monument for the rest of them
[Bridge]
Twenty bucks says you'll remember me
When you see me on your TV screen
It may be the first time
But it won't be the last time
Twenty bucks says you'll remember me
When you see me on your TV screen
It may be the first time
But it won't be the last time
Twenty bucks says you'll remember me
When you see me on your TV screen
It may be the first time
But it won't be the last time
[Breakdown]
And I'll scream so loud that everyone in this place
Will hear every word I say
'Cause this is my time, this is my time to shine
Let nothing stand in our way
And I'll scream so loud that everyone in this place
Will hear every word I say
'Cause this is my time, this is my time to shine
Let nothing stand in our way
[Outro]
Twenty bucks says you'll remember me
When you see me on your TV screen
It may be the first time
But it won't be the last time
And I'll scream so loud that everyone in this place
Will hear every word I say
'Cause this is my time, this is my time to shine
Let nothing stand in our way
And I'll scream so loud that everyone in this place
Will hear every word I say
'Cause this is my time, this is my time to shine
Let nothing stand in our way
[Outro]
Twenty bucks says you'll remember me
When you see me on your TV screen
It may be the first time
But it won't be the last time
