lyrics

He got on at Delancey

With a MetroCard and a book bag

Saw the sign flash past Canal Street

Four stops early, like a dare tag

He laughed when the doors shut

I checked my watch at 8:12

You said, "I'll walk with you tonight"

And the whole cart turned to a quiet reel

We hit the platform stairs

Cold wind in your blue knit sleeve

Your sneaker scuffed the gum line

You said, "Come on, let's leave"

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

You walked with me home

Through the wet orange block

Four stops early

Four stops early

Bodega bell at the corner

Red apples stacked in a crate

Taxi spray on my hemline

Your coffee cooled by the gate

We passed the schoolyard fence

And the laundromat glass went white

You said the night feels shorter

When somebody matches your stride

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

You walked with me home

Through the wet orange block

Four stops early

Four stops early

At the crosswalk, you paused

With your hand on the strap

Said, "I could've stayed on the bus"

But you didn't do that

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

Four stops early

You walked with me home

Through the wet orange block

Four stops early

Four stops early
