Lyric

This is your last homework, don’t rush the page

No deadline, no bell, no teacher’s rage

If you hand it in smiling, that’s how you win

The only right answer is happiness, kid

This is your last homework, take your time

No need to run, no need to climb

I won’t be waiting at the door anymore

But someday, bring me a life you adore

You’ll wake up late, miss trains, miss calls

Blame yourself, blame fate, blame walls

You’ll love too hard, or not enough

Think you’re broken, think you’re tough

You’ll chase the noise, you’ll fear the quiet

Try to be brave, then try to deny it

But every wrong turn you think you made

Is still part of the work you haven’t turned in yet

Write it in laughter

Cross out the pain

If you get stuck

Leave blanks, it’s okay

This is your last homework, don’t rush the page

No deadline, no bell, no teacher’s rage

If you hand it in breathing, still standing tall

That’s a perfect score, mistakes and all

This is your last homework, slow is fine

Your pace is yours, not mine

I won’t be waiting at the door anymore

But someday, bring me a life you adore

When you come looking, I won’t be there

No empty chair, no answered prayer

So don’t come running, don’t come scared

I hate the thought of you out of breath

I’m not a place, I’m not a day

I’m just a voice that fades away

The only thing I need from you

Is proof you lived… not that you rushed it through

This is your last homework, take it slow

If you’re not happy yet, that’s how I know

You’re still working, you’re still—
