Eraly Sunsets Over Monroeville
My Chemical Romance Lyrics

Late dawns and early sunsets
The sun rises and sets quickly, indicating that time is passing quickly, much like how his favorite scenes in movies go by too fast.

Just like my favorite scenes
His favorite scenes in movies are the ones that have a romantic couple holding hands, signifying perfection and true love.

Then holding hands and life was perfect
During the times when they were holding hands, everything felt perfect and complete, similar to how things are portrayed on the big screen.

Just like up on the screen
The romantic moments and love stories depicted in movies are similar to the perfect moments he has experienced in his own life.

And the whole time while always giving
At all times, while he was putting in effort and being present in their relationship,

Counting your face among the living
He was grateful for every moment he spent with her, cherishing her every move and expression, because they were fleeting and finite.

Up and down escalators
Their relationship is like an escalator, with its ups and downs.

Pennies and colder fountains
Their experiences were like a wishing well, with hopes and dreams that aren't always granted or fulfilled.

Elevators and half price sales
Their relationship was constantly moving, up and down, and consisted of a lot of bittersweet moments.

Trapped in by all these mountains
They were confined and limited by the obstacles in their way, preventing them from being totally free and open with one another.

Running away and hiding with you
They would escape from their daily lives and obligations just to be together and enjoy each other's company.

I never thought they'd get me here
He never imagined that he would be caught up in such a complicated and dangerous situation.

Not knowing you changed from just one bite
One bite, one action, or one seemingly small thing can drastically change a person, and he didn't know that the girl he was with had been affected by something like that.

I fought them all off just to hold you close and tight
He would do anything to protect her and keep her safe, even if it meant fighting off the obstacles and setbacks they faced.

But does anyone notice
He wonders if anyone truly understands the depth of his love and the pain he's going through.

But does anyone care
He questions whether anyone is really there for him, to offer support or to help him through his struggles.

And if I had the guts
He contemplates whether he has what it takes to make a drastic decision and take his own life.

To put this to your head
He is considering ending it all by shooting himself in the head.

And would anything matter
He doubts whether anything he does in his life will truly matter in the end.

If you're already dead
If the love of his life is dead or gone, then he feels that there would be no point in anything else.

And should I be shocked now
He reflects on whether he should really be surprised by the turn of events.

By the last thing you said
He is haunted by the final words spoken by the girl he loved before she died.

Your eyes vacant and stained
Her lifeless, empty gaze still haunts him, leaving him feeling empty and alone.

And in saying you loved me
Despite her love for him, it doesn't ease his pain or make anything any easier.

Make things harder at best
In fact, her love only makes things that much more difficult for him to handle.

And these words changing nothing
Nothing anyone can say or do can reverse what has happened or change how he feels.

But your body remains
Despite her death, her body is still there, a constant reminder of what once was.

And there's no room in this hell
The pain he feels is all-consuming and feels like hell, with no relief or escape.

There's no room in the next
He struggles to believe that there is any hope or possibility of anything good happening in the future.

And our memories defeat us
In the end, their memories and experiences together are what have defeated them and led to this tragic end.

And I'll end this the rest
All that is left is for him to end his life and join her in death.

There's a corpse in this bed
The reality of her death is all too real, represented by her corpse in the bed.
