Picture me

Just another cool kid in NYC

Near the park and the Met

Got my crew

Everything was great

And I never knew

Just how bad it would get

Who'd have guessed

Dad would ruin everything?

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'll change 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 that your hair's too long

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) What am I doing?

(Thirteen) Who am I gonna be?

(Thirteen) Somebody listen

(Thirteen) Somebody talk to me

Why is my life a complete disaster?

How do things get so far off track?

How can I not go to Indiana?

How do I get my family back?

I wanna fly, wanna run, wanna drive

Wanna get rich, wanna get mad, 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

Homework, laundry, dishes, courses

Just settle down and hold your horses

Just about to turn

Just about to turn

Just about to turn

Just about to turn

(Thirteen) Something is comin'

(Thirteen) Something is blowin' up

(Thirteen) Something is hummin'

(Thirteen) Somebody's growin' up

Thirteen

Thirteen

Thirteen

Thirteen

The best and the worst

And the most and the least

And the crazy and the scary

And we're just about to turn

Thirteen
