Cover art for Pittsfield lyrics by Sufjan Stevens

This is what I can gather from the second-to-last verse:

Stand there, tell me that I'm of no use Things unspoken break us if we share There's still time to wash the kitchen floor On your knees, at the sink once more You can remind me that I was tired You can work late and give yourself up Now that I'm older, wiser, and working less (??? I can't get that last line...)
