Original Broadway Cast - A Little More Homework Lyrics

Evan:
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 non 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

Charlotte:
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

Evan & Charlotte:
Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today

Evan:
I'm a little bit older
A little bit stronger
A little bit smarter
A little bit

Evan & Charlotte:
Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today

Charlotte:
And the days ahead coming on so quick
You can't keep running

All:
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

Evan:
I turned 13, my parents got divorced and I moved from New York City to the middle of nowhere.

All:
Day into day into day

Patrice:
I turned 13 and I kissed a boy more than once!

Kendra:
I turned 13 and I signed a virginity pledge.

All:
Day turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today turns, today

Lucy:
I was diagnosed with an eating disorder

Eric:
I failed math, but we won the championships!

All:
And I'm a little bit braver
A little bit broader
A little bit brighter
A little bit

Archie:
I turned 13 and I had to have spinal chord surgery. God, that sucked.

All:
Day turns today turns today

Eddie:
I got busted for driving my dad's pick-up

All:
Day turns today turns today

Charlotte:
I got drunk!

Cassie:
And I've been looking in the back of the book for the answers
Hoping the bell wouldn't chime

Malcolm:
My parents split up

Molly:
And 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'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
