Monument Monument - Some Adventurers

They took out all of the stop signs in the neighborhood where I grew up
Now every time I slow down I start thinking about giving up
But when they talk like they're already dead
I start feeling like I'm just getting started
It's not impossible when it's already happening

From this bed in our rented house
I thought I'd finally be somewhere now
A cemetery by a playground reminds me how I let you down

I never took pictures because I always thought that I'd be back
After 10 years I realized that I never really left
And I don't want to die before I'm actually dead
I've seen it happen to some of the best ones
Youth isn't wasted on the young because I'm better now than I ever was

Some adventurers aren't we?
When we're just standing still
In this house where it's impossible to breathe
We were just kids now we're the parent's friends
In a world I'm still supposed to believe
We're all like cut down trees
Concentric circles tell our stories
I keep running into myself in a room that's much smaller than
I always remembered it to be
Maybe it's me

From this bed in our rented house
I thought I'd finally be somewhere now
A cemetery by a playground reminds me how I let you down
My old bedroom is my brother's now
The same windows I wondered out
A cemetery by a playground reminds me how I let you down
