“number one boy” is the 7th track of the album “liminal space” by mxmtoon. This song is about the difference of treatment following your gender in a family and desperately wanting to fit a paternal figure’s expectations to gain their affection, despite being a woman.
[Verse 1]
Did you feel disappointed the summer that I was born?
Were you prayin' for blue skies and you got a pink storm?
And you built me a dollhouse, but I'm playin' with model trains
When you look at him, can you look at me the same?
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, in the blind spot of your heart
The backseat of your car
Screamin' over the radio
Ooh, breathin' hard on the glass
Leavin' messages on the window
Hopin' maybe you would come and ask me
[Chorus]
"Did you wanna go out?"
"Did you wanna play catch?"
Can I tell you how my day was?
That I did well in class?
Sit on the couch
Share a split screen
I'll be your player two
But I really wanna be
Your number one boy
Your number one boy
[Verse 2]
I'm a country away, but I still learn to play your favorite songs
In the hope that I can sing 'em long after you're gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, in the blind spot of your heart
The backseat of your car
Screamin' over the radio
Ooh, breathin' hard on the glass
Leavin' messages on the window
Hopin' maybe you would come and ask me
[Chorus]
"Did you wanna go out?"
"Did you wanna play catch?"
Can I tell you how my day was?
That I did well in class?
And sit on the couch
Share a split screen
I'll be your player two
But I really wanna be
Your number one boy
Your number one boy
[Outro]
(Your number one boy)
In another place, in another time
I could see your face through my brother's eyes
When I'm needing you, even still you stand
Holdin' out your hand
(Your number one boy)
In another place, in another time
I could see your face through my brother's eyes
When I'm needing you, even still you stand
Holdin' out your hand
