clean up these streets, clean up the streets of my mind
oh, girl you just take your time
you know it's true, i'm sometimes no good for you
but don't look at me, look at the man, the man
i want, i want to be
i come by your place round 5
i open the door and i see
you smiling back at me
you pull me with open arms
feels like i've been gone too long
you understand, you hold my hand
you know what i mean when
i always act the fool, i'm never perfect now
i wanna see what's beneath
so meet me on ninth street
we're walking in open air, going to who knows where
we see the clouds part and the sky break
i'm not used to this love you give
you tell me to hold this
your heart in a cup
i, i don't wanna spill but you know that
i'll be a better man
you see the best in me
now i know what's beneath
so meet me on ninth street
