Narrative:

During taxi we were clearing taxiway B to the ramp. Once making our turn from taxiway F to taxiway B we were instructed to follow a B737 clearing at taxiway east with our position it appeared the B737 had passed taxiway B and was turning onto taxiway a. In reality we were on taxiway za and the B737 was still on taxiway east. Then I saw the hold short lines for runway 13L as the captain stopped the aircraft. We passed the lines by 10-15 ft. The B737 had already cleared the runway so ground cleared us onto the runway 13L to follow him to the ramp.
