"Thirteen" lyrics
"Thirteen"
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
Thanks to Tori McCown for correcting these lyrics.

Ben Lee - "Cigarettes Will Kill You" You throw me in a pan
You cook me in a can
You stretch me with your hands
You love to watch me bake
You serve me up with cake
And that's your big mistake
Your guest comes in dressed smart...
Band Of Horses - "The Funeral" I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you're wrong
And to know you is hard, we wonder
To know you all wrong, we won
Really too late to call so we wait for
Morning to wake...
Wilco - "You And I" You and I, we might be strangers
However close we get sometimes
It's like we never met
But you and I, I think we can take it
All the good with the bad
Make something that no one else has but...
Coconut Records - "The Summer" Waiting for things to come through
I don't know lately, how about you?
Wake me up when you get home
Crawl in bed with your telephone
And it's always summer back in Alabama
And I miss you forever,...
The Weeks - "Buttons" I said, 'Darlin', why so blue? '
She told me, 'I've been missing you'
He said, 'Leave' and she said, 'Stay'
She kissed my lips and quickly ran away
Lost some buttons to my overcoat
Pull your knife...
