Thirteen Lyrics - Ben Kweller - 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 

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 

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 mothers 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 

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
