Rockaway Beach (Concept Album Songbook)

Thirteen

Verse 1 

Thirteen years of pain 

That means thirteen years of shame 

Fear comes to prick at my name 

Trying to hold it back 

While all my friends have a blast 

I think I'll have a heart attack 

Chorus 

So please remember me 

I've got thirteen insecurities 

Verse 

Would it be lying if I said 

I'd sacrifice myself to be your best friend 

But in the end it would cause a shipwreck 

So throw me into a mystery 

Where I'm lyrically a nobody 

And you're the gravity inspiring my poetry 

Chorus 

So please remember me 

I've got thirteen insecurities 

So please remember me 

I've got thirteen insecurities 

Post chorus 

That my prick under my skin 

When the waves swallow the ocean 

The protect my ambition

And to hold off my addiction 

Of you 

Bridge 

Thirteen years of pain 

Thirteen years of shame 

Crying out to my name 

Is this how it's ought to be

When you have thirteen insecurities 

The battle begins to haunt me 

And throw me out 

Just guilt covered by doubt 

This how it's ought to be

When you have thirteen insecurities 

Chorus 

So please help me 

I've got thirteen insecurities 

So please remember me 

I've got thirteen fantasies
