Jason Robert Brown - 13 (Single) lyrics

[Phillips:] 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 guess 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 [All:] Thirteen! [Phillips:] Everything switches [All:] Thirteen! [Phillips:] Everything turns around [All:] Thirteen! [Phillips:] End up in stitches [All:] Thirteen! [Phillips] Find a way underground [All:] Thirteen! [Phillips] Can I get through it? [All:] Thirteen! [Phillips] Life has changed over night [All:] Thirteen! [Phillips:] How do I do it? [All:] Thirteen! [Phillips:] Nothing is going right [All:] The best and the worst And the most and the least And the crazy and the scary And I'm standing on the edge! [Phillips:] Twelve years old, everything that used to be as good as gold starts to crumble and crack Evan with Others: Pressure mounts, once it was a joke, now it really counts and there's no going back [All:] Life goes wrong [Company:] Suddenly they're yelling cause your hair's too long [Company:] Or your room isn't clean [All:] Roll along [Phillips:] Every conversation is another lost cause or a list of my flaws And I'm just about to turn [All:] Just about to turn God, I'm going to turn Thirteen! [Company:] I want a dirt bike [All:] Thirteen! [Company:] I want to k** my mom [All:] Thirteen! [Company:] I want a mustache! [All:] Thirteen! [Company:] I want a wonder bra [Company:] Thirteen! [Company:] When do I get it? [Company:] Thirteen! [Company:] All of the grown-up stuff? [Company:] Thirteen! [Company:] How will I make it? [Company:] Thirteen! [Company:] When am I old enough? [All:] Why is the world feeling totally 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? [Company:] How can I get through a year of Spanish? [Company:] How can I not look dumb in track? [Company:] How can I gain 20 pounds by Friday? [Company:] How can I make my voice not crack? [All:] 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! Homework Laundry Dishes Courses 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 Cant wait for thirteen! [Company:] Something is coming [Company:] Thirteen! [Company:] Something is going up [Company:] Thirteen! [Company:] Something is humming [Company:] Thirteen! [Company:] Somebody's growing up! [All:] Thirteen! [Company:] Hey, yeahhh! [Company:] No, no, no, no, no, no [Company:] Hey, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah [Company:] Yeah, yeah, yeah [All:] 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!
