A Little More Homework

If you stand here behind me and you call me a man

And you're counting on me to come through

You should know that I'll give you the best that I can

But we all have a little more homework to do

If you're walking beside me and you wanna be friends

You should know I'm depending on you

So you gotta hang in there till the whole story ends

'Cause we all have a little more homework to do

And I've been looking in the back of the book for the answers

Hoping the bell wouldn't chime

But I'm not ready put down my pencil just yet

There are too many answers that I didn't get

I need a little less pressure

And a little more time

I'm trying to follow, I'm trying to lead

I am trying to find what is true

But if you're gonna stand with me, then you have to concede

That we all have a little more homework to do

Day turns to, day turns to, day turns to, day turns to

Day turns to day

You get a little bit older, a little bit taller

A little bit better, a little bit

Day turns to, day turns to, day turns to, day turns to day

And the days before all go too fast

You can't hold on, so you go

Day turns to, day turns to, day turns to, day turns to

Day turns to day

And I'm a little bit older, a little bit stronger

A little bit smarter, a little bit

Day turns to, day turns to, day turns to, day turns to day

And the days ahead comin' on so quick

You can't get out of the way, you keep runnin'

Day turns to, day turns to, day turns to, day turns to

Day turns to day

And I'm a little bit older, a little bit faster

A little bit closer, a little bit

Day turns to, day turns to, day turns to, day turns to day

And the sky goes blue, and the sky goes black

And no matter what you do, you can't go back

You go day into, day into day

(I turned thirteen, my parents got divorced)

(And I moved from New York City to the middle of nowhere)

Day into, day into day

(I turned thirteen, and I kissed a boy more than once)

(I turned thirteen and signed a virginity pledge)

Day turns to, day turns to, day turns to, day turns to

Day turns to day

(I was diagnosed with an eating disorder)

(I failed math, but we won the championship)

And I'm a little bit braver, a little bit broader

A little bit brighter, a little bit

(I turned thirteen, and I had to have spinal cord surgery)

(God, that sucked)

Day turns to, day turns to day

(I got busted for driving my dad's pickup)

Day turns to, day turns to day

(I got drunk)

And I've been lookin' in the back of the book for the answers

Hoping the bell wouldn't chime

(My parents split up)

But I'm not ready put down my pencil just yet

There are too many answers that I didn't get

I need a little less pressure

And a little more time

I'm trying to follow, I'm trying to lead

I am trying to find what is true

I am trying to be what you want and I need

And we all have a little more homework

We all have a little more homework

We all have a little more homework to do

Day turns to, day turns to, day turns to, day turns to day

(A little more homework to do)

Day turns to, day turns to, day turns to, day turns to day

(A little more homework to do)

Day turns to, day turns to, day turns to, day turns to day

(A little more homework to do)

Day turns to, day turns to, day turns to, day turns to day

(A little more homework to do)

Day turns to, day turns to, day turns to, day turns to

Day turns to day
