I think, "Going to walk, walk, walk/ Four more blocks" is the person trying to physically get away from whatever/whomever makes him want to take drugs in the first place, as well as the trip he takes to get said drugs and "plus the one in my brain" is the mental/emotional distance, or escape, the drugs give him.

| Elliott Smith – Between the Bars Lyrics

The bars found in sheet music, IMO, fits as well since the song is a serenade. So whoever is singing is telling the other person that they will kiss them even between the bars of the song.
If that makes any sense. |

I've seen "between the bars" as three different things: one being jail bars, another is an actual bar (which I think fits the interpretation that the song is from the point of view a bottle), and then the bars found in music sheets. |
