lyrics

(nine streets)

Nine streets is eleven minutes if you take the main road
Six if you are running, which I know because I checked
And for eleven days we sat in two lit rooms
Being frightened of each other at a walking distance

Nine streets over (nine streets)
He was nine streets over, nine streets
The whole time, nine streets
Nine streets

Nine streets over, nine streets, nine streets over
All that architecture for eleven minutes of pavement
Nine streets over, nine streets, nine streets over
I could have knocked. Any night. I could have knocked.

He walked past my building twice. He told me. Twice.
Once on the Thursday and once on the Sunday, late,
and both times he kept going, and I never heard a thing.
(BASS RETURNS, WARMER)

Nine streets over, nine streets, nine streets over
All that architecture for eleven minutes of pavement
Nine streets over, nine streets, nine streets over
I could have knocked. Any night. I could have knocked.
