13: the broadway original musical - 13/becoming a man lyrics

[evan]

(spoken)

i’m evan goldman. i live at 224 west 92nd street in the heart of manhattan, and my life just went to h+ll!

(sung)

picture me! just another cool kid in nyc near the park and the met
life is sweet! yankees and the bronx, pretzels on the street, just how good can it get?
who’d have guessed 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

[ensemble]
13!

[evan]
everything switches

[ensemble]
13!

[evan]
everything turns around
[ensemble]
13!

[evan]
end up in stitches

[ensemble]
13!

[evan]
hide away underground

[ensemble]
13!

[evan]
can i get through it?

[ensemble]
13!

[evan]
life has changed overnight

[ensemble]
13!
[evan]
how do i do it?

[ensemble]
13!

[evan]
nothing is going right

[ensemble]
the best and the worst and the most and the least and the crazy and the scary and i’m standing on the edge!

[evan]
12 years old. everything that used to be good as gold starts to crumble and crack

[ensemble]
pressure mounts! once it was a joke, now it really counts and there’s no turning back
life goes wrong
suddenly they’re yelling cause your hair’s too long
or your room isn’t clean
roll along

[evan]
every conversation is another lost cause, or a list of my flaws, and i’m just about to turn

[ensemble]
just about to turn
god i’m gonna turn
13!
i want a dirt bike
13!
i wanna k!ll my ma
13!
i want a moustache
13!
i want a wonderbra
13!
when do i get it?
13!
all of the grown up stuff?
13!
how will i make it?
13!
when am i old enough?
why is the world feeling suddenly 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?
how will i get through a year of spanish?
how can i not look dumb in track?
how can i gain 20 pounds by friday?
how can i make my voice not crack!?
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
[evan]
in the middle of the city
in the middle of this street
there’s the sound of something rumbling, crumbling underneath my feet
in the middle of the sidewalk. outside ps84
i hear a roar. i can’t ignore

i hear “evan, it’s your fault”
i hear “evan, can’t you see?”
i hear “evan, do you want to go with mom or stay with me?”
i hear “kiddo, i’m not angry”
i hear “buddy, you know best”
and there’s the rumbling getting louder
but there’s one day in october where the pieces all will fit
when they have to be together and pretend they didn’t quit
i’ve got one day in october and i know it’s got to be the perfect party

i’m becoming a man
i don’t know what ‘a man’ really means
the rule book grows, but no one knows what all the rules allow
i’m becoming a man
no one tells all us scared in+betweens just how we should be strong, be good, with so much pressure now
one day it gets better
one day it makes sense
one day i’ll stop talking in the friggin future tense
one day in october it’ll all be great and i can’t wait
i can’t wait
i can’t wait

[ensemble]
i can’t wait to come to your party
i can’t wait to come to your party
i can’t wait to come to your party
i can’t wait to come to your party
i can’t wait to come to your party
i can’t wait to come to your party
i can’t wait to come to your party
i can’t wait. i can’t wait, can’t wait
can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait for
13!
something is coming
13!
something is going up
13!
something is humming
13!
somebody’s growing up
13!
hey+yeah!
13!
no, no, no, no, no, no!
13!
hey+yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
13!
hey+yeah!
the best and the worst and the most and the least and the crazy and the scary and i’m just about to turn 13!
