lyrics

May the bridges we burn light the way
You're the soundtrack to my college days
I want to wake up with my makeup on your shirt
May the city lights guide us home
Every night, make me your own
I want to be everything you never thought you'd need

Miles away from everything I've ever thought I've known
In the loneliness of a crowded city I found you as my home
Sixteen floors above the sidewalk with a stranger who's my friend
Thanks to you and a little bit of Boston, I found myself again

I'm drunk on you and high off the city
Pretend I don't know it when you tell me I'm pretty
We're drinking the rain and loving the same mistakes
So when that cigarette burns out
light another or stay on my couch
if you promise me you won't leave when I fall asleep

Miles away from everything I've ever thought I've known
In the loneliness of a crowded city I found you as my home
Sixteen floors above the sidewalk with a stranger who's my friend
Thanks to you and a little bit of Boston, I found myself again

So may the bridges we burn light the way
You're the soundtrack to my college days
I want to wake up with my makeup on your shirt
May the city lights guide us home
Every night make me your own
I want to be everything you never thought you'd need
