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 wire bound   Just let the fire burn   They don’t think we can make it here   They got to another thing to learn   Desperately I tried my best   To hold myself in tact   13 going on 21   We’re never ever going to 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
