13 Beaches

Intro:                                 I don’t belong in the world 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 (yeah) For something real That 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 (yeah) For something real That 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 deal The fact that I can deal
