Brendon Donoho - Monuments

If You look to your left
There's some crosses in the ground
Young couple died there one night
Their momma nailed them crosses down
To honor all they could've been

If you look to your right
There's a old dirt patch
Took a punch in the chest there one day
A little boy fell down and a man got back
Up and they never saw that little boy again

These are the monuments to the man that I've become
These are the sacraments to the Gods of setting suns
And Oh, God, how I miss those days when I was young
But little boys gotta grow up and become someone

When I look up ahead
That's where I met that little girl
The only one that ever made me feel like
18 wasn't the end of the world
I can still see her face and I can still hear that voice

These are the monuments to the man that I've become
These are the sacraments to the Gods of setting suns
And Oh, God, how I miss those days when I was young
But little boys gotta grow up and become someone

There's something intoxicating about getting older
You just wanna find your path and run
But you're knees get weak, your beard grows long, and nights get colder
You can't escape where you came from

If I look to my right
I see her holdin' my hand
That little girl
The only one that ever gave a damn about me
She never gave me a choice

These are the monuments to the man that I've become
These are the sacraments to the Gods of setting suns
And Oh, God, how I miss those days when I was young
But little boys gotta grow up
Little boys gotta grow up
Little boys gotta grow up and become someone
