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 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 Infrequently, we ignored our love But we can 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 layed 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 makeouts and 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
