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 to 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'm trying to find what is true
But if you're going to stand with me
Then you have to concede
That we all have a little more homework to do
Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today
You get a little bit older
A little bit taller
A little bit better
A little bit
Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today
And the days before all go too fast
You can't hold on
So, you go
Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today
I'm a little bit older
A little bit stronger
A little bit smarter
A little bit
Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today
And the days a head coming on so quick
You can't keep running
Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today
And I'm a little bit older
A little bit faster
A little bit closer
A little bit
Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today
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 13, my parents got divorced and I moved from New York City to the middle of nowhere
Day into day into day
I turned 13 and I kissed a boy more than once!
I turned 13 and I signed a virginity pledge.
Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today
I was diagnosed with an eating disorder
I failed math, but we won the championships!
And I'm a little bit braver
A little bit broader
A little bit brighter
A little bit
I turned 13 and I had to have spinal chord surgery
God, that sucked
Day turns today turns today
I got busted for driving my dad's pick-up
Day turns today turns today
I got drunk!
And I've been looking in the back of the book for the answers
Hoping the bell wouldn't chime
My parents split up
And I'm not ready to 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'm trying to learn what is true
I'm trying to be what you want and I need
But 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, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today
A little more homework to do
Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today
A little more homework to do
Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today
A little more homework to do
Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today
A little more homework to do
Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today
