The Suburbs - Number 9 lyrics

When I was a young man I used to play this game In my head On the surface I was shy Underneath it I was sly Unleashed if underfed Anyway, I'd play this game With my girl Where we'd count to ten Ten meant it's time for bed But the funny thing was I could never get past number nine (Chorus) One two three four Five six seven eight Nine We'd go to her house Try to set the night on fire Blow out the lights Crank up the tunes 'Til we can't get no higher Our biggest fear Her mom and dad come home Knocking down the door I said, "Cut the small talk baby, They're not here no more!" Take my hand Ten steps to never-never land (Chorus) All I want is you But every time I get to nine You draw the line And all I can do is imagine ten Now I'm a man Running wild In the lonely night Yo, give me a sign We'll blow past nine Ten, eleven... All the way to heaven (Chorus)
