Vanessa Carlton

Stand up straight
Do your trick
Turn on the stars
Jupiter shines so bright when you're around
They tell us, "Slow down
We're too young
You need to grow"
The speed's the key and they don't know who we are
And who's to say we're not good enough
And who's to say that this is not our love
Mother don't tell me friends are the ones that I lose
'Cause they'd bleed before you
And sometimes family are the ones you'd choose
It's too late now
I hold on to this life I found
And who's to say we won't burn it out
And who's to say we won't sink in doubt
Who's to say that we won't fade to grey
Who are they anyway
Anyway they don't know
And you say we're too young but maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend but I just feel it when we're together
And if you don't believe me you never really knew us
You never really knew
You and I
Packing up my room
We feel alright but we're not welcome
Soon we'll be driving 'cause they don't know who we are
Who's to say we won't stay together
Who's to say we aren't getting stronger
Who's to say I can't live without you
Oh
Who are they anyway
Anyway they don't know
And you say we're too young but maybe you're too old to remember
And I try to pretend but I just feel it when we're together
Who is to say
And who is to say
And who are they anyway
Stand up boy
I shine so bright when you're around
