Shadows fell into our eyes

Strangers we would seldom call

You and i like every teen

Were up against the wall

We couldn't see the end in time

Dying to get out

13 going on 21

They will never stop us now

Going our way



13 years in a wirebound

Just let the fire burn

They don't think we can make it here

They gotto another thing to learn

Desperately i tried my best

To hold myself in tact

13 going on 21

We're never ever gonna look back

Going our way



Teenage eyes were open wide

Don't you think we know by now

How foul and plagued our future cries

From what you've handed down

We can't explain the distant crash

Alter or defuse

13 going on 21

We're learning by watching you

Going our way
