Senioritis

The chipped paint in the hallways
Is dull and gray just as always
Another day eating lunch by myself
This is the last thing I would want

I won't see that face again
And already we're so distant
Another week heading home all alone
It's like a neverending taunt

Just relax
Your future's fine
Is that the truth?
It feels like such a lie

The answers swish around in my mind
But I don't want to read the signs

So please don't be so tough
I swear I'm not an adult
Have mercy on me
It's not impossible
That I still might not know quite enough

Tell me who to trust
Don't treat me like a child, but
Just cover my eyes and don't deceive me
Tell me lies but do it honestly

Amidst a sea of endless tests
I don't have time to rest
I wanna relax, focusing on today
And yet tomorrow's still in sight

Yes or no?
Or wrong or right?
I want to choose
No, someone else decide

The answers swish around in my mind
'Cause nothing's ever really defined

So please don't be so rough
I swear I'm not an adult
Have mercy on me
It's not impossible
That I still might not know quite enough

Tell me who to love
Don't treat me like a child, but
Just cover my eyes and don't deceive me
Tell me lies but do it honestly

We haven't reached the end of this yet
But already I know I regret
Not doing more or doing less of anything at all

So please don't be so tough
I swear I'm not an adult
Have mercy on me
It's not impossible
That I still might not know quite enough

Tell me who to trust
Don't treat me like a child, but
Just cover my eyes and don't deceive me
Tell me lies but do it honestly
What surprise might our future be?
All that I can do is wait and see
