lyrics

(nine now)

He came with me in October and he sat at the back
And afterwards outside he said I could not do that
And I said not yet, which was not encouragement
It was a schedule, and he understood it as one

He has done nine now (nine now)
Since October, nine now
Getting there, nine now
Nine now

He has done nine now, nine now, he has done nine now
Three hundred and ninety-one to go and no other way
He has done nine now, nine now, he has done nine now
And he already knows which two verses hold a room

At the eighth one he did it without being asked. I watched him.
Ninety seconds in, the room started to go, and he moved.
He does not know he did it. He will not know for years.

He has done nine now, nine now, he has done nine now
Three hundred and ninety-one to go and no other way
He has done nine now, nine now, he has done nine now
And he already knows which two verses hold a room

(nine now...)
