Thirteen from Et cetera by Greg Sgammato

Friday night in Charlie's room
Listening to Beatles tunes backwards
Hearing Paul is a dead man
Miss him Miss him
We were afraid
Working on a book report
But we only read the first chapter
So we made a home movie
Turned it in for our teacher to grade

We never said I love you, but we meant it
We had a little money, but we spent it all
On the things a teenager needs
A bag of Totino's and gaming magazines
We were just kids playing with computers
We thought that everyone said we were losers, no
Who needs them when you've got friends like these?
A small band of pirates burning mixed CDs
Maybe we had it all figured out
When we were thirteen

Outside of the three of us
Most the other kids were vicious
Sometimes I felt like I didn't want
To live another day
Picked a place to start again
Couldn't take them with us
On the run from my past
Haven't seen them since I moved away

Looking at it now makes me sad
To think of all the love I know that we had
Teenagers learning to be men who
Care for each other even way back then
And when I'm singing I'm talking to you, kid
Don't break your heart regretting things that you did
I love you, please know that you're seen
The highs and the lows and all the stuff in between
Maybe we had it all figured out
When we were thirteen

Maybe we had it all figured out
When we were thirteen
