Thirteen

Thirteen -Ben Kweller

We've been in the rain

We've been on the mountain

We've been 'round the fire

In fancy hotels

Drank water from farm wells

We sang with the choir

I kissed your dry lips

We jumped off the high cliffs

And splashed down below

Skin to skin

In the salty river

Made love in the shadows

Oh

Read books to each other

Read the mind of the other

Flew one thousand jets

We laughed and we cried

At movies and real life

And our ridiculous bets

We danced in the moonlight at midnight

We pressed against back doors and wood floors

And you never faked it

And frequently

We ignored our love

But we could never mistake it

Oh

We met on the front porch

Fell in love on the phone

Without the physical wreck

You gave me the necklace

That used to hang

Around your mother's neck

We questioned religions

Gave bread to the pigeons

We learned how to pray

We stood by the ocean

Turned our hearts into one

We laid in bed all day

Hey

We skipped on the sidewalk

Skipped stones on the water

We skipped town

We seen the sunrise with new eyes

We seen the damage of gossip and true lies

We've seen the sun go down

Had passionate makeouts

With passionate freakouts

We built this world of our own

It was in the back of a taxi

When you told me you loved me

And that I wasn't alone
