My Number

"My Number" is a song performed by Tegan and Sara. It was written by Tegan Quin for the album This Business of Art. It is considered to be a fan favorite and is still occasionally a part of the "encore" portion of Tegan and Sara's live set lists. This song was performed in 2000 on David Letterman.

Sara sang the second verse on the original recording of My Number, as well as in several of their live performances, including the one on Letterman in 2000, but since then, the lead vocals belong exclusively belong to Tegan, with Sara on back-up vocals.

Lyrics
Shower's 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 Fabric's wearing through And it's wearing me out You're wearing me down

Watching old baseball games and low-budget telethons Ain't like watching you yourself When you yourself is on Got time to wander, to waste, and to whine But 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 Oh, 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 Well, 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 Oh, promise me you'll always stay

Wish I was 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 its wearing me out You're wearing me down, oh, oh You're wearing me down, oh, oh

So watch your head, baby And 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 Promise me you'll always stay Promise me you'll always stay
