13

Strong jaw, rough red skin

Jug head, flat top grin

She tastes like cigarettes and whiskey

Came far too 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 and mouth to mouth

Locked doors to keep out any witness

Six foot will pin you down

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

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 d–

Do you even remember when I told you what was going on

It wasn't part of any teenage dream

How could you 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.
