13 Beaches

  • I don't belong in the world
    But that's what it is
    Something separates me from other people
    Everywhere I turn
    There's something blocking my escape

    It took thirteen beaches to find one empty
    But finally it's mine
    With dripping peaches
    I'm camera ready
    Almost all the time

    But I still get lonely
    And baby only then
    Do I let myself recline?
    Can I let go?
    And let your memory dance
    In the ballroom of my mind
    Across the county line

    It hurts to love you
    But I still love you
    It's just the way I feel
    And I'd be lying
    If I kept hiding
    The fact that I can't deal
    And that I've been dying
    For something real
    But I've been dying for something real

    It took thirteen beaches to find one empty
    But finally I'm fine
    Past Ventura
    And lenses plenty
    In the white sunshine

    But you can still find me
    If you ask nicely
    Underneath the pines
    With the daisies
    Feeling hazy
    In the ballroom of my mind
    Across the county line

    It hurts to love you
    But I still love you
    It's just the way I feel
    And I'd be lying
    If I kept hiding
    The fact that I can't deal
    And that I've been dying
    For something real
    But I've been dying for something real

    It hurts to love you
    But I still love you
    It's just the way I feel
    And I'd be lying
    If I kept hiding
    The fact that I can't deal
    The fact that I can't deal Writer/s: ELIZABETH GRANT, RICK NOWELS
