Vanessa Carlton › Lyrics › Who's to Say

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 that 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
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 wont sink in doubt?
Who's to say that we wont fade today?
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, packin' up my room
We feel alright but we're not welcome
Soon we'll be drivin'
'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?
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's to say and who's to say?
Who are they anyway?

Stand up boy
I shine so bright when you're around
