Late Night Alumni — Main Street lyrics

Lyrics

Self-assured with a cold heart
I was sure the words had failed us
So roundabout
I take the curtains down
Sweep beneath chairs
The unanswered prayers
Now I’m haunted by a longing so early in the morning
It greets me without warning
Coincidence, I see you today
We small talk but time gets in the way
So I clip the clock’s wings, we talk about smart things
Find myself smiling for the first time in days
Now I’m haunted by a longing
This afternoon on main street
You’re smiling and oh, how apropos
I once had an ending but now I have to go
I laugh when you say «flowers say what they mean»
'Cause roundabout, you say the funniest things
Now I’m haunted by a longing so late in the evening
It greets me with a warning
