Narrow Streets Lyrics

Narrow streets
Houses all in rows
Front porch seats
Watching people go
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...

And in between
Dundas and Queen
Get off at Strachan
Spread the blankets on the lawn
On-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...

[Chorus]:
I think that we could do better if weren’t apart
I think that we couldn’t find a better place to start
In this downtown neighborhood
Held together by nails and wood
Where the old folks take their time
I want to make a time with you

And in the lane
Rusty garage doors
There’s a hockey game
And that kid’s freaking out ‘cause he scored
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...

[Chorus]

I wanna climb the roof with you
I wanna walk the lane with you
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

I think this song is suggesting somebody wants to move in with somebody else as they want to start a relationship but one person is nervous and so they found the perfect quiet neighborhood
