[Verse 1]What a day, what a day is something that we might say
But you're still up working too much, I think I found a gray
You treat yourself way too harsh and way too hard
When everyone around you has got dropped down jaws
I'm not trying to tell you that you need to slow down
But you're working like a slave when you've already got a gold crown
It hurts to be looking from the outside in
Seeing you walking on pins working in the dim with your stress at the brim
And this is isn't me trying to play any funny games
This is me noticing you putting in overtime and getting underpaid
Even if you fail once, you've already succeeded
I hate seeing you defeated and depleted. You don't really need it
You've parted oceans and seas and took to the skies
I'm proud of you regardless even if you only tried
So fly back home. It's getting real late.
We made you dinner and it's getting cold on your plate

[Chorus]
I don't know now, but calm down
You've already fought all 12 rounds
Put your head up because hands down
You are the best, wow

Keep moving, you'll do it
Bigger than a movement, oh you'll prove it
You're the coolest
And I'll be here thinking that I knew it!

[Verse 2]
Straight As, GPA, grade made protege
But when do you find the time to just play?
Life shouldn't be about the awards on your chest
It should be about doing the things that you love best
This is vastly all about the good times gladly
Living and looking classy if you want to ask me
Because when I meet my end, I don't want five friends
Talking around my grave about how my time spent
Quit beating yourself up. I can see your bruises
And you don't have to be perfect. You don't need those excuses
Being happy with yourself is probably the hardest
And I know that you might not want advice from a starving artist
But it took me 18 odd years to convince to like me
And now I can look at myself in the mirror much kindly
I hope in the end you can flash yourself a smile
It looks much better on you anyways: it really fits your style

[Chorus]
I don't know now, but calm down
You've already fought all 12 rounds
Put your head up because hands down
You are the best, wow

Keep moving, you'll do it
Bigger than a movement, oh you'll prove it
You're the coolest
And I'll be here thinking that I knew it!

[Verse 3]
Let me lift up my cup, I shall raise my chalice
To the girl who has turned a house into a palace
Intelligence abundance, and though it's redundant
You're over 9 thousand! No where near the hundreds
I want to toast you tonight, and tomorrow and after
Let's capture your laughter inside some nice chapters
Pictures with trophies they sure look nice
But you're here with us and you look better tonight
Your mind is stunning and you are never stunting
But still defying gravity girl you are something!
Knock out in a dress, beautiful in some jeans
Whatever you wear, doesn't matter, you will still beam
I'm not blowing smoke: I don't like cigarettes
I don't even want to hear you say that word regret
Because you've gotten this far and I'm well damn impressed
Now let's keep making bonds like we're about to invest

[Chorus]
I don't know now, but calm down
You've already fought all 12 rounds
Put your head up because hands down
You are the best, wow

Keep moving, you'll do it
Bigger than a movement, oh you'll prove it
You're the coolest
And I'll be here thinking that I knew it!
