Ben Kweller - Thirteen Lyrics






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
(Woah ooh)

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
(Oooh ooh)

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
(Hey)

We skipped on the sidewalk
Skipped stones on the water
We skipped town

We've seen the sunrise with new eyes
We've seen the damage of gossip and true lies
We've seen the sun go down

Had passionate make outs
And passionate freak outs
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

  37. I.... S....

    Fuck Webby? Sir, he is the #1 modern artist with originality, clever metaphors and similes, and a large array on his vocabulary. I think you should listen to him a little more before you make this claim because Webby is the greatest.

  38. N.... P....

    thumbs up if liz brought you here!

  39. g.... t....

    Someone will definitely write this,so this time,let me be this one - Liz Gillies brought me here. YAAAY

    we questioned religions
    gave bread to the pigeons.

  46. S.... S....

    He's underrated

  47. L.... w....

    wow this guy is the biggest queer ive seen on an album cover since freddie mercury. His fans should be publicly executed for bad taste.

  48. i.... ....

    Beautiful. Haven't heard it for a good while. The last two lines made my hairs stand on end for more than the usual length.

  49. G.... ....

    very true

  50. P.... ....

    well, commerce, greenville.. They're both pretty shitty if you ask me.

  51. G.... ....

    he actually got his start in greenville, not commerce.

  52. R.... H....

    This is mine and my boyfriends song so when ever i hear it i smile :) its an awesome song and we plan on doing evreything he describes :)

  53. P.... ....

    I saw this guy's picture on the wall in my orthodontists office in Greenville, TX... lol He's from Commerce, TX... Glad to know someone got ofut of this shithole town and made something of himself. :)

  54. J.... W....

    This guy is the motherfucking balls

  55. D.... C....

    Love it :*

  56. L.... K....

    Thumbs up if a girl brought you here

  57. k.... i....

    Listen to Ed Sheeran - Wake Me Up.. its a simple song and that like its just the lyrics are personal

    k.... i....

    karkolo idontwantasecondname love that song

  58. G.... L....

    Ok I need some help so I showed this song to my girlfriend and she loved it...it's kinda our song now and I need some sheet music or something and she would love it of I played this for her..please anyone direct me where I need to go! Thanks

  59. T.... ....

    When you realize something, but you're a bit too late...
    and you're all you have left.

  60. R.... M....

    exactly. :)

  61. M.... ....

    is it the soundtrack of a movie ?

  62. T.... ....

    What a song! Instead of, for example, Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are" or "Marry You" where Bruno shouts out his love for a girl, repeating it over and over, you have this song, where Ben quietly sings in an almost mono-tone voice, and doesn't repeat anything at all.

    And frankly, I find this one a lot more romantic with a lot more expression coming out. <3

  63. C.... F....

    chills. always, chills.

  64. C.... C....

    This means everything to me

  65. R.... M....

    I will always be in love with this song. It has such a deep and intense meaning to me...

  66. M.... C....

    you will always be my fave

  67. T.... ....

    @PurpleNurpler He really does seem like a cool dude.

  68. T.... ....

    I'm gay:)
