lyrics

We were braver at 13
Every day an onslaught of insecurity

There’s no chance in heaven that we’ll ever meet
I can’t speak (your headphones on) I stare at my feet

Pressed against your heart to beat the pause in the song
There’s no older me to tell me what I’m doing wrong
My walkman on
I long for you

We were courageous at 13
Every single day an insult to human decency

Take your place at the designated table in
The lunchroom you and all the other northside kids

We were braver at 13
Pressed against your heart to beat the pause in the song
In the song
