Flying Colours

Flying Colours

You’re a lesson I’ve learned
It was a tough class for me
I didn’t know if I’d make it at all
But I kept my finger on the ball

The book they wrote about you
I tried hard but never found
It would’ve helped me a little bit
to keep my head from the ground

Here it goes, I’m back to studying again
But this time it helps to have a friend
And next time I’ll read my books and write my notes
and pass with flying colours

I paid attention in class
Put in my best work for sure
I could chalk it up to naivety
to think I controlled where I’d be

Here it goes, I’m back to studying again
But this time it helps to have a friend
And next time I’ll read my books and write my notes
and pass with flying colours

I know you better now that I started looking from the outside

Not trying hard to keep up with you
Thinking all the things I thought weren’t true, they were true
It’s clicked, it’s making sense
I’m acting as my own defense, yeah

Here it goes, I’m back to studying again
But this time it helps to have a friend
And next time I’ll read my books and write my notes
And pass with flying colours
