“Wishing I Was 23” is rumored to be about actress Dianna Agron, who starred alongside R5’s Riker Lynch on Glee. There is a six-year age difference between the two, but that didn’t stop Riker from crushing — fans have pieced together theories using Riker’s old tweets that mention Diana.
[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
[Post-Chorus: Ross Lynch]
Woah-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Wishing I was 23
Woah-oh
I've got her wishing
Uh-yeah
[Verse 2: Ross Lynch]
I think about her everyday
Going insane thinking about what to say
What am I doing anyway?
Am I even on her radar?
[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
[Post-Chorus: Ross Lynch]
Woah-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Wishing I was 23
Woah-oh
She's got me wishing
Wishing I was 23
[Bridge: Ross Lynch]
And if I was older
She would let me take her
To watch the stars at night
We can dance, we can kiss
Underneath moonlight
And if it got colder
She would let me hold her
Wrapped up in fairytales (Ooh)
Got to wake up from this dream
Oh, yeah
[Chorus: Ross Lynch]
Maybe she's just to old for me
Maybe her boyfriend's a marine
Even though I'm nameless
She's famous
She's got me wishing
[Chorus: Ross Lynch & All]
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
[Post-Chorus: Ross Lynch]
Woah-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Wishing I was 23
Woah-oh
[Outro: Ross Lynch]
I've got her wishing
Wishing she was 17
Woah-oh, woah-oh
Wishing I was 23
Woah-oh-oh, yeah
