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.

Cause 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 set
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 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.

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 coming on so quick
You can't keep running.

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 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 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 13 and I had to have spinal chord surgery
God, that sucked
Day turns to day turns to day
I got busted for driving my dad's pick-up
Day turns to day turns to day.

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 to 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
A little more homework to do
Day turns to 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
A little more homework to do
Day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day.
