Nine in the Afternoon Lyrics

Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as lovers can, you know
Yeah, we're feeling so good
Picking up things we shouldn't read
Looks like the end of history as we know
It's just the end of the world
Back to the street where we began
Feeling as good as love, you could, you can

Into a place where thoughts can bloom
Into a room where it's nine in the afternoon
And we know that it could be
And we know that it should
And you know that you feel it too

'Cause it's nine in the afternoon
And your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can, so you do
We're feeling so good, just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can, so you do
We're feeling so good

Back to the street, down to our feet
Losing the feeling of feeling unique
Do you know what I mean?
Back to the place where we used to say
"Man it feels good to feel this way"
Now I know what I mean

Back to the street, back to the place
Back to the room where it all began
Back to the room where it all began

'Cause it's nine in the afternoon
And your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can, so you do
We're feeling so good, just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can, so you do
We're feeling so good
Just the way that we do

When it's nine in the afternoon
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can, so you do
We're feeling so good, just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon

What is the Meaning of Nine in the Afternoon?

In the hazy space between reality and dreams, time becomes a fluid concept that defies conventional measurement. 🌙 This introspective composition explores themes of nostalgia, youth, and the euphoric feeling of existing in a moment where normal rules don't apply. The recurring "nine in the afternoon" represents an impossible time that symbolizes a perfect state of being - where emotions are heightened and possibilities seem endless. The reference to moon-sized eyes suggests a state of wonder and perhaps chemical alteration, while the return to familiar streets and rooms reflects a cyclical journey of self-discovery. The song captures that magical feeling of being young and invincible, where time bends to your will and everything feels "so good." 🌟 The narrative ultimately celebrates those surreal moments in life when everything aligns perfectly, even if it defies logic. #NostalgicVibes #DreamState #YouthfulEuphoria #TimelessMoments
