[Intro: Ross Lynch]
Maybe she's just too old for me
Living in a teenage fantasy
Baby there's so much we could be
She's got me wishing
Wishing I was 23

[Verse 1: Riker Lynch]
Yeah, she's crazy but I don't care
She's sexy and she's a millionaire
The way she gets me is so unfair
Not youre typical rich girl
She's smoking hot, if you know what I mean
Tight jeans and she loves her photography
And everything that's in between
She's been around the world

[Pre-Chorus: Ross Lynch & Riker Lynch]
And I know
She's graduated
And I'm not
Quite educated
I'm young, you know
Age is overrated

[Chorus: Ross Lynch & All]
Maybe she's just to old for me
Living in a teenage fantasy
Baby there's so much we could be
Every time I'm with her
Calling me a dreamer
Maybe she's just out of my reach
Maybe her boyfriend's a marine
Even though I'm nameless (Hey!)
She's famous (Hey!)
She's got me wishing
Wishing I was 23
