The Other Stars - Providence lyrics

Last night walking down from Thayer Street the fires burned out in our dreams But in the corner I could see that you were glancing back toward me The river didn't make a sound, we sat too close and tried to count The windows in the buildings rooted in the ground beneath our feet Every couple months there comes a night Where I can tell you love me like I wish you would all of the time Do you remember your green dress? Or how we made this awful mess? I want to start it all again And on nights when I'm out with everyone Poisoning ourselves and having fun I can't say "I'm scared and I'm alone This house is not a home without you" The only thing I'll ever want to know Is where you've been and where you'll go A single synapse in my mind An on/off switch I'll never find So I guess it always has to end, and when it does we'll start again Do you remember what we said in September on my front step?
