Lyrics

Picture me, just another cool kid in NYC
Near the park and the Met
Life is sweet, Yankees in the Bronx
Pretzels on the street, just how good can it get?
Who'd have guessed Dad would meet a stewardess?
Mom's depressed and her lawyers are mean
Now I'm stressed, life is a disaster
And I'm cracking from the strain, going totally insane
And I'm just about to turn, just about to turn, just about to turn
Thirteen
Everything switches
Thirteen
Everything turns around
Thirteen
End up in stitches
Thirteen
Hide away underground
Thirteen
Can I get through it?
Thirteen
Life is changed overnight
Thirteen
How do I do it?
Thirteen
Nothing is going right
The best and the worst and the most and the least
And the crazy and the scary and I'm standing on the edge
Twelve years old, everything that used to be good as gold
Starts to crumble and crack
Pressure mounts, once it was a joke
Now it really counts and there's no turning back
Life goes wrong, suddenly they're yelling
'Cause your hair's too blonde or your room isn't clean
Roll along, every conversation is another lost cause
Or a list of my flaws
And I'm just about to turn, just about to turn, God, I'm gonna turn
Thirteen
I wanna turn five
Thirteen
I wanna kill my mom
Thirteen
I want a mustache
Thirteen
I want a Wonderbra
Thirteen
When do I get it?
Thirteen
All of the grown-up stuff
Thirteen
How will I make it?
Thirteen
When am I old enough?
Why is the world feeling suddenly stranger?
Why are my friends acting totally weird?
Why do I feel like my life is in danger?
Why do I feel like my brain disappeared?
How will I get through a year of Spanish?
How can I not look dumb in track?
How can I gain twenty pounds by Friday?
How can I make my voice not crack?
I wanna fly, wanna run, wanna drive
Wanna get rich, wanna get drunk, wanna get out
Wanna get my braces off, wanna get my nose pierced
Wanna grow my hair long, but all I keep hearing is
No, you're not ready
No, it's not time yet
No, it's not right now
Wait until you're older
No, you're not ready
No, it's not time yet
No, it's not right now
Wait until you're older
No, you're not ready
No, it's not time yet
No, it's not right now
Wait until you're older
No work, laundry, dancing, horses
Just settle down and hold your horses
I can't wait, I can't wait
Can't wait, can't wait
Can't wait, can't wait
Can't wait, can't wait for
Thirteen
Something is coming
Thirteen
Something is going up
Thirteen
Something is humming
Thirteen
Somebody's growing up
Thirteen
Yeah, yeah
Thirteen
No, no, no, no, no, no
Thirteen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thirteen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The best and the worst and the most and the least
And the crazy and the scary and I'm just about to turn thirteen
