Meander - Lyrics

My Number

Tegan and Sarah - This Business Of Art

showers pounding out a new beat
i trade my old shoes for new feet
i grab a a new seat
i don't like the one i got
the fabric's wearing through
and it's wearing me out
you're wearing me down

watching old baseball games
and low budget telethons
are like watching you, yourself
when you, yourself is on
got time to wonder, to waste and to whine
when it comes to you it seems
like i just can't find the time

so watch your head
and then watch the ground
it's a silly time to learn to swim
when you start to drown
it's a silly time to learn to swim
on the way down

if i gave you my number
would it still be the same
if i-- if i saved you from drowning
promise me you'll never go away
oooh, promise me you'll always stay

closed down the last local zoo
i'm gonna win the endless war
over who kills the last koala bear
and who, in death, will love him more
and i -
he grabs me by the hand, drags me to the shore
and says "maybe you don't love me,
but you'll grow to love me even more"
and i-- i'm not surprised

if i gave you my number
would it still be the same
if i-- if i saved you from drowning
promise me you'll never go away
oooh, promise me you'll always stay
oh, if i-- if i gave you my number
would it still be the same
if i-- if i saved you from drowning
promise me you'll never go away
promise me you'll always stay

showers pounding out a new beat
i trade my old shoes for new feet
i grab a new seat
i don't like the one i got
the fabric's wearing through
and it's wearing me out
you wearing me down
you wearing me down

so watch your head, baby
and then watch the ground
it's a silly time to learn to swim
when you start to drown
it's a silly time to learn to swim
when you start to drown

if i gave you my number
would it still be the same
if i-- if i saved you from drowning
promise me you'll never go away
oh, if i-- if i gave you my number
would it still be the same
if i-- if i saved you from drowning
promise me you'll never go away
ooooh, promise me you'll always stay
promise me you'll always stay
