The american education system says that I'm a grown up

So I guess that means I'll quit smoking

And learn to keep my big mouth shut

Sure ain't for you

Sure ain't for me

It's for the way that I pretend I want to be perceived

I've been thinking that I'm worthless; I know I'm not worthless

But it's a constant struggle between binge drinking or churches

If the offering plate comes my way I want to feel so ecstatic

Like I did in second grade

So three cheers for whatever it is that gets you by

Because it's okay to feel okay all the time

I look forward to the day that I can buy mom a car

She knows I'd always visit if she wasn't so far

She says, "Mitchell write some Christian songs!

Songs that I could sing to my classroom of 5th graders

And teach them holy things."

I wanna wake up every morning and know that who I am

Is exactly who I wanna be

I might crash, I'll still land on my feet

I've learned that we're all honeybees:

JUST CUZ WE DON'T GET RECOGNITION

WELL THAT, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT

WE'RE NOT IMPORTANT

So do whatever you have to

To get by

Cuz it's okay to feel okay all the time

I know that sometimes it gets rough

You'll lose sight of yourself;

You don't think that you're enough

To your closets friends or family

Just know that to someone you are everything
