Between 1st and A
Chasing Love Between City Streets
Lyrics
I've never dwelled on leaving
I haven't focused on the act of departing.
Only getting somewhere
My attention has been on progressing towards a destination.
But darling I'll miss these evenings
However, I'll feel nostalgic about these specific evenings.
In my fourth floor walk-up
Referring to a small apartment on the fourth floor.
Villagers stumbling below
People from the nearby village are stumbling below.
Trying to catch each other on the very street where I caught you
Recalling a moment on the street where the speaker first encountered the listener.
With three drinks, maybe more
Describing a scene with the listener involving multiple drinks.
Four blocks in the summer air
Walking four blocks in the summer air.
And one kiss at my door
A memory of a kiss shared at the speaker's door.
We brushed off the cabs
Ignoring the taxis, focusing on each other.
Looked up past the fire escape
Looking beyond the immediate surroundings, observing the fire escape.
To find us looking back
Finding themselves in the reflection of the surroundings.
At what we're leaving to get somewhere
Reflecting on the sacrifices made to achieve progress.
Darling I'll keep that apartment
Expressing a commitment to keep the memory of the apartment.
In some loud and reckless recess of my heart
Keeping the apartment as a vivid and impulsive memory.
I moved there alone to live with a girl like you
Moving to the mentioned apartment alone to be with someone like the listener.
Your love drives it home and I might look over my shoulder
The listener's love reinforces the significance of the apartment, causing occasional glances back.
But I'll never dwell on leaving
Reiterating a lack of fixation on leaving, emphasizing the focus on progress.
If I'm getting somewhere
As long as I'm making progress, I won't dwell on leaving.
