nine Lyrics

Born in '97

In the days when the world was good

Box TVs, when we still had dreams

I'd go back if I only could

Afraid of the dark

But obsessed with my imagination

Falling asleep on the sofa

And waking up in bed

We'd hang apples from string in October

And wear our makeshift costumes

Decorate the Christmas tree in December

And hang those coloured lights around the window

I'm going home

Sit with my dog on the patio and watch the sky turn gold

If I knew then what I know

I'd wanna stay nine years old

We'd carve our names in school erasers

And fill our hands with glue

'Do you like me?' written on a piece of paper

Young enough to think that everyone told the truth

So I'm going home

To sit with my dog on the patio and watch the sky turn gold

If I knew then what I know

I'd wanna stay nine years old

I close my eyes and I'm nine again

I close my eyes and I am nine again
