the empire's burning

lyrics

six years ago now, we all moved in
we all left home
to live on our own

that year, i turned 22
dropped out of school
and started over new

the empire, it burned down today
i hope these memories
don't just fade away

sprawled on the couch in summer heat
we'd drink cheap wine and
lose track of time

walks home from allston in the snow
we had each other
to keep out the cold

the empire, it burned down today
i hope these memories
don't just fade away

got on the train at brandon hall
the city seemed so big,
i felt so small

four years ago now, we all moved on
i'll think of that place
long after it's gone.

the empire, it burned down today
i hope these memories
don't just fade away

these memories, they go up in smoke
brookline, you will always feel
like home
