Monuments Lyrics by Keep it Together

Gate 23

2024

[Verse 1]
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?

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Hook]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Bridge]
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
You don’t know (In the gift shop, find a monument)
How it feels (In the gift shop, buy a magnet)
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 (In the gift shop, find a monument)
How it feels (In the gift shop, buy a magnet)
Crying on the flight back home, I remember (In the gift shop, find a monument)
(In the gift shop, buy a magnet)
I wanna go back, will you have me back?
I’ve gotta go back, will you take me back?

[Verse 5]
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
'Cause sometimes I like it here

[Pre-Chorus]
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 (Dig through the trash)
Everything that tethered me these past two years (I didn’t mean to hold so tight)
Was this a grave mistake or could you believe me? (Dig through the trash)
I’m laying down a path for the next two years (Maybe someday I’ll get it right)
I don’t know (Go to the store)
Where I end and it begins (I wanna be so close to you)
Take it slow (I can’t go to the store)
So I can settle in (I wish it was like how it was before)
Can this be a five year plan? (Go to the store)
I can’t leave you in this hallway (I wanna be so close to you)
No one understands (I can’t go to the store)
I wish it was like how it was before

[Chorus]
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 (Go to the store)
Take it day by day
The day is almost over (I wanna be so close to you)
But at least I’m awake
It shouldn’t scare me (I can’t go to the store)
That I’m still in love with that moment (I wish it was like how it was before)
