Song Description

Looking back at life when you were 13

Lyrics

Close your eyes and come for a ride
As I take you back in time
To an age in every boy?s life
Where you feel like a man and it all seems right

Not a care in the world, just smiles
?Cause all you seem to do is run around wild
Take my advice, when you want to escape
Go back in your mind to an age so great

Look outside, what do you see
Me and my friends being thirteen
Come home from school and get on a bike
A trip to the mall and maybe a fight

Lots of football and baseball too
Whatever came to mind before we jumped in the pool
Late at night we would all sneak out
Never knowing why, we just had to be out

Ten years later I?m writing this song
Trying to figure out where I belong
I look back to when life was all play
The biggest thing to worry about was staying out late

And now I think how great it would be
If I could take all I?ve learned and go back to thirteen
But its okay and I feel all right
?Cause now I don?t have to ask to stay out all night

Look outside, what do you see
Me and my friends being thirteen
Passing around our first magazine
With pretty girls showing all the ways they could be

We would go down to the local high school
And smoke in the lot, it was so cool
But then when we had to go there every day
We would plan a secret mission just to get away

Look outside, what do you see
Me and my friends being thirteen
And when things are not how I want them to be
I just think back to me and my friends at thirteen
