'Monroe' nostalgically explores past relationships, acknowledging the enduring love and care despite the natural fading that occurs over time.

lyrics

I’m stuck in the pre tense,
Like Marilyn Monroe caught on a wire fence,
Life was more beautiful back then,
Now it’s tattered and it’s torn and I will just reflect,

What the hell is going on?
Can’t make it up but we roll along,
I pray to god that everyone’s the same,
I left it out on the street I’m beat,
The things they say surrounded me,
And now I’m left to ponder them alone,

I’ll love you, like a lover would do,

Drive late to the speedway,
Nothing pumps me up more than a race day,
Stand and shake and congratulate,
Each other on making another birth date,

Trapped my head under my bead,
To try to find some peace in there,
But all I found was unpaid bills and debts,
The engines roar the fumes they soar,
Into the sky adding yet more,
Poisonous gas into the air,

I’ll love you like a lover would do,
