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 want to be friends
You should know I'm depending on you
So you gotta hang in there
'Til 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 am trying to follow
I am 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
[CHARLOTTE]
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

[CHARLOTTE, RICHIE & EVAN]
Day turn to day turns to day turns to day
Turns to day turns to day

[EVAN]
And I'm a little bit older, a little bit stronger
A little bit smarter –
A little bit

[CHARLOTTE, RICHIE & EVAN]
Day turns to day turns to day turns to day
Turns to day

[CHARLOTTE]
And the days ahead comin' on so quick
You can't get out of the way
You keep runnin'
[ALL KIDS]
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 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…

[EVAN, spoken]
I turned thirteen, my parents split up and I went from the greatest city on earth to a place I never thought I’d call home

[ALL]
Day into day into day

[PATRICE, spoken]
I turned thirteen, and I kissed a boy. More than once!

[KENDRA, spoken]
I turned thirteen and signed a virginity pledge

[ALL]
Day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day…

[LUCY, spoken]
I did not sign a virginity pledge
[BRETT, spoken]
I failed math. But we won the championship!

[ALL]
And I'm a little bit braver, a little bit broader
A little bit brighter, a little bit…

[ARCHIE, spoken]
I turned thirteen and I had to have spinal cord surgery. God, that sucked!

[ALL]
Day turns to day turns to day

[EDDIE, spoken]
I got busted for driving my Dad's pickup

[ALL]
Day turns to day turns to day

[CHARLOTTE, spoken]
I got drunk!

[MOLLY]
And I've been lookin' in the back of the book for the answers
Hoping the bell wouldn't chime

[MALCOLM, spoken]
My parents split up

[CASSIE]
But I'm not ready to put down my pencil just yet

[RICHIE]
There are too many answers that I didn't get

[SIMON]
I need a little less pressure

[ALL]
And a little more time

I am trying to follow
I am trying to lead
I am trying to learn 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

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…

[EVAN, ARCHIE & PATRICE]
A little more homework to do

[OTHER KIDS]
Day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day…

[EVAN]
A little more homework to do

[OTHER KIDS]
Day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day…
