turning pages Lyrics

Two-thousand-ten was the year of

Animal stretchy bands

I had a monkey placed on the

Palm of my hand

I knew it wouldn't last for long

So I went to prom with a hair buzz

Cut faded

I'm slated

Two-thousand-eleven was the year of

Beauty and the Beast

We had the parts but our notes weren't

Warmed up and cleaned

But I've spanned my wheel on the float

Ain't it funny how I went through some changes

Turning pages

I didn't had a yearbook

But I sure did look so good

Now here I am I'm doing

Things that I should

For an underdog in choir

Writing songs to be inspired

Performing jams with glowing

Neon lights on stages

As an amateur who keeps in score

And plays them down on the keyboard

I've seen how people got away to places

You're wondering what I have been doing lately

I've been turning pages

Two-thousand-twelve was the year of

Surviving not to fail

Thank God I didn't die and burned up in hell

At least I didn't smell like smoke

It wasn't long before we were gonna get graded

Turning pages

I have been signing yearbooks

Cause I sure did look so good

Now here I am I'm doing

Things that I should

For an underdog in choir

Writing songs to be inspired

Performing jams with glowing

Neon lights on stages

As an amateur who keeps in score

And plays them down on the keyboard

I've seen how people got away to places

You're wondering what I have been doing lately

I've been turning pages

The funny thing about the teachers I had

Was that they're all coaches that pushed me hard

But they knew what I was capable of

And they knew what I wanted in my heart

As an underdog in choir

If you don't think I'm on fire

I performed my jams with

Neon lights on stages

As an amateur who keeps in score

And plays them down on the keyboard

I've seen now how I got away to places

If you've been hanging around for long

I promise you another song

But it might take me another drink to make it

Don't get me wrong I still love all of my classmates

I still wonder what they have been doing lately

As I'm turning pages

I'm proud to be a twenty-thirteen graduate
