Young Adult Fantasy Lyrics

Please stop reading all of those young adult novels
Like Looking for Alaska or the Perks of Being a Wallflower
There's more to life than romance and butterflies
But you'll never learn if you keep on taking advice from 15 year old guys

Don't make it seem poetic that you met a boy back in high school
And he was so sweet and cool that you wish you were not 22
You're living in the past, that boy is working at a grocery store
While you work on your PhD in Sociology

And everything you'd thought you'd learned
Was a misreading of terms
And now we're anchored to illogical thoughts
We'll always be 13 at heart
We'll always be 13 at heart
We'll always be 13 at heart
At least until we start reading Hemingway
