​11 blocks (live) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
11 blocks from my door to your doorstep
Three years later and it feels too close
I thought I broke the last of that breakdown
The morning I sold your winter coat
It doesn't feel right when I’m grabbing a coffee
The same old spot, but I'm on my own
I feel okay in the day, but at nighttime
You know how I get when I'm alone

[Chorus]
’Cause my mind won't stop, it's just 11 blocks
And I know that you're home
'Cause it's Friday night, you're not that type
And I know that you're home

[Verse 2]
14 blocks from your door to this party
I caught myself counting on the way
And right when I stepped in the door to the party
Oh, I stepped outside to grab a smoke
’Cause you know how I get when I’m alone, yeah

[Chorus]
'Cause my mind won’t stop, it's just 14 blocks
And I know that you're home
'Cause it’s Friday night; you're not that type
And I know that you're home
Someone stop me, please, from hurting myself
'Cause I'm two blocks away and you're hurting my health
And it's Friday night, you're not that type
I know that you're home
[Post-Chorus]
Somebody stop me, yeah
And I should be going home
Somebody stop me
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
Well, I met someone
And I think I'm in love

[Chorus]
But my mind won't stop, it's just 11 blocks
And I know that you're home
'Cause it's Friday night, you're not that type
And I know that you're home
And I met someone and I swear I'm in love
But I'm two blocks away and you're just like a drug
My mind won't stop, it's just 11 blocks
And I know that you're home yeah

[Post-Chorus]
I got somebody
Waiting for me at home
I got somebody, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
11 blocks from my door to your doorstep
Three years later and it feels too close

[Outro]
Thank you, thank you
Oh, brother
You guys, I have one more song for you
It's very sad
It's very, very sad
(How many things are you drinking?)
I'm drinking a lot
There's a lot of shit going on
I stopped drinking, like, well, it's almost three years now
But now, thank you
Now everywhere I go, it's like, like, I sit down for
Especially sushi, it's like, "Can I get a hot green tea? Can I get an iced green tea? Can I get a sparkling water? Can I get a tap water? Can I get a Diet Coke? Can I get a smoothie?"
'Cause it used to be like, "Can I get, uhh..."
(Sake)
No, you know, I don't love Sake
I just drank, like, a... I don't wanna talk about what I drank, actually
Whoa, now I'm sweating immediately
Seriously, though, thank you guys so much for coming
I mean it, I mean it, I mean it, thank you
It means a lot to me
Um, I know it's, well, I poked my head out there, I didn't know what was out there, and then you guys were out there, there was a line, and um, and it's so cool
I know what the feeling is like when you, like, go online, and you click on the tickets, and you buy it, and then you're like, get in line
And it's so freaky and blows my mind that people do that to come see me play a show, it's weird
So I really appreciate it, um
From the bottom of my heart, thank you, and um
I will leave you with this
This song is, uh, one of my favorite songs that I've ever written
Uh, I don't get to play it often because it's very long and very sad
But I wanted to leave it, leave you with it tonight
This is called "That's What I'd Do"

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
