"13" lyrics

"13"

Strong jaw, rough red skin, jug head flat top grin
She tastes like cigarettes and whiskey
Came far to close to me with strong hands and urgency
Thank god for faded ancient history

She came all the way from Sweden
Just to teach a boy to dance
And I'm trying not breathe in
But she never gave this innocence a chance

Even though I told you what was going on
It wasn't part of any teenage dream
But you just let it happen, like there's nothing wrong
For god's sake, I was 13

Built like a brick shit house, stale breath & mouth to mouth
Locked doors to keep out any witness
Six foot will pin you down with no way to turn around
Slurred words and ugly stolen kisses

She came all the way from Sweden
Just to teach a boy to dance
And she told me not to speak it
But she never gave this innocence a chance

She came all the way from Sweden
(This is house, this is my home)
Just to teach a boy to dance
(Why didn't you believe me?)
She came all the way from Sweden
(This was my space, my safe place)
Just to teach a boy to dance

Do you even remember when I told you what was going on
It wasn't part of any teenage dream
But you just let it happen, like there's nothing wrong
For god's sake, I was 13
I was 13, for god's sake, I was 13
