Spectacle - Tokyo Rose

I slowly started chipping away at this block of stone

In an attempt to fashion a way to regain your attention

Why won’t you hear me out?

I started out with some paper and pen and my apologies

But every time I try to write to you

I just can never find the words to explain

So I’ll build a monument to honor you

Out of the ruins of the love I knew

I’ll turn your favorite memories into a sight for all to see

Because I know when you see it, you’ll come back to me

Picked me up the phone and I started to dial your line from memory

Too proud to ever let you pickup

Close to the point where I should give up

You’ll never call me back

So now I’m doing something tangible — I’m working with my hands

Because I can never seem to manage to say I’m sorry in a language you can

comprehend

So I’ll build a monument to honor you

Out of the ruins of the love I knew

I’ll turn your favorite memories into a sight for all to see

Because I know when you see it, you’ll come back to me

I’ll put it right outside your window

So it’s impossible to ignore

Will that be good enough for you?

(for you)

And even if you pulled your shades down

And burn the statue to the ground

It’ll be enough to bring your warmth back to me

A monument to honor you

Out of the ruins of the love I knew

I’ll turn your favorite memories into a sight for all to see

Because I know when you see it, you’ll come back to me

Building a monument to honor you

Out of the ruins of the love I knew

I’ll turn your favorite memories into a sight for all to see

Because I know when you see it, you’ll come back to me

Come back to me
