5'6" Monument

She's got her hair cut short so you can look her in the eye Her denim jacket with no pockets and her Converse tied up tight She's gotta keychain of a dolphin hanging right between her breasts But it's her eyes that you remember when you forget all the rest She's too skinny these days and you can feel it when she hugs you back So you pretend not to notice when she casually mentions that She wants tell her all your secrets that you keep close to your vest Oh but it's her eyes that you remember when you forget all the rest And she's leaning on you, buried right into your chest Couple inches from your heart, like a 5'6" monument She said I get much more than I deserve I don't think she thinks about my like I think about her And you can't tell if she's serious when she says that your the best But it's her eyes that you remember when you forget all the rest And she's leaning on you, buried right into your chest Couple inches from your heart, like a 5'6" monument There was a time you almost kissed her but now those days are gone So you pretend that you missed her and you hope she plays along You tell her about your new girl and she feigns interest But it's her eyes that you remember when you forget all the rest And she's leaning on you, buried right into your chest A couple inches from your heart, like a 5'6" monument Standing silent as the day she left and the day you let her in A couple inches from your heart, like a 5'6 monument
