He says you're awful young for twenty-one, you've got some work to do
Bite your pencil harder than you were planning to
You day drink slowly, you sleep too quick, you need a sharper view
There's much more out there than someone who's lying next to you
He said you're capable of so much more than these people give you credit for and you just need to show it
Growing up was not an easy movement for me
You nudge and nudge, you push and shove and I might still stay asleep
And it's a struggle to think on my feet, I fear the harsh regard
But friend if you'd encourage me I know I'd make it far
You said I'm capable of so much more than these people give me credit for and I just need to show it
And my anger surrounds me like a coat when I shiver
I let it surround me with these thoughts often so bitter
But friend if you'd help me I think I'd make it through this winter
Cause you said I'm capable of so much more than these people give me credit for and I just need to show it
Oh I'm capable of so much more than you people give me credit for and I just need to show it
