Standing in Awe of a Monument

Lyrics for Standing in Awe of a Monument

Baby, you're a shooting star You shot right past my eyes and right into my spine But I made a wish on the floorboards of this house That I'd never gaze on your star fall again Open your eyes and see the world around you It's falling down Can't see the world around you Open your eyes and see the world around you And draw a blank Can't see the world around you It feels like standing in awe of a monument Baby, you're a shooting star (Shooting star) You shot right past my eyes and right into my spine (To my spine) But I made a wish on the floorboards of this house That I'd never gaze on your star fall again I've watched you kill yourself It feels like standing in awe of a monument I can see you but never understand I can feel you but never understand Four blank walls, a record player in the corner LaBelle fills the room, "if only she knew too" You keep coming home, I wish you wouldn't You keep coming home, I wish you wouldn't Open your eyes and see the world around you It's falling down Can't see the world around you I've watched you kill yourself It feels like standing in awe of a monument I can see you but never understand (It feels like standing in awe of a monument) I can feel you but never understand Good hell, I've seen those eyes before Each lesson of fear I've learned in them Good hell, I've seen those eyes before Each lesson of fear I've learned in them Good hell, I've seen those eyes before Each lesson of fear I've learned in them You keep coming home You keep coming home You keep coming home You keep coming home You keep coming home You keep coming
