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
[Evan & Ensemble]
Thirteen!
[Evan]
Everything switches
[Ensemble]
Thirteen!
[Evan]
Everything turns around
[Ensemble]
Thirteen!
[Evan]
End up in stitches
[Ensemble]
Thirteen!
[Evan]
Hide away underground
[Ensemble]
Thirteen!
[Evan]
Can I get through it?
[Ensemble]
Thirteen!
[Evan]
Life'll change overnight
[Ensemble]
Thirteen!
[Evan]
How do I do it?
[Ensemble]
Thirteen!
[Evan]
Nothing is going right
[All]
Thе best and the worst
And the most and thе least
And the crazy and the scary
And I'm standing on the edge!
[Evan]
Twelve years old
Everything that used to be good as gold
Starts to crumble and crack
[Evan & nyc kids]
Pressure mounts
Once it was a joke, now it really counts
And there’s no turning back
[Kid]
Life goes wrong
[Kid]
Suddenly they’re yelling that your hair’s too long
Or your room isn’t clean
[Ensemble]
Roll along
[Evan]
Every conversation is another lost cause
Or a list of my flaws
And I'm just about to turn
[Evan & Ensemble]
Just about to turn
God, I'm gonna to turn
Thirteen!
[Kid]
What am I doing?
[Ensemble]
Thirteen!
[Kid]
Who am I gonna be?
[Ensemble]
Thirteen!
[Kid]
Somebody listen
[Ensemble]
Thirteen!
[Kid]
Somebody talk to me!
[Evan]
Why is my life a complete disaster?
How did things get so far off track?
How can I not go to Indiana?
How do I get my family back?
[Evan & Ensemble]
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!
[Evan & Ensemble]
Just about to turn
Just about to turn
Just about to turn
Just about to turn
Thirteen!
Something is coming
Thirteen!
Something is blowing up
Thirteen!
Something is humming
Thirteen!
Somebody’s growing 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!
