lyrics

Oh frustration, you didn't ask for a thing
but your daffodils are dead by the end of the spring.
You fell in love with a girl just about your height
but you fell right back when you couldn't make it through the night.

You got a lot to learn about making time.
You got a lot to learn about leaving things behind.
You got a lot to learn about spending a couple dollars.
You're not getting any taller.

Your cigarette butts are scattered across the floor.
You'd toss them all out but you fear it's such a chore.
Your leaves are green, your dirt is brown
but you can't stand to be told that the world is round.

Your high school daydream, your grapes of wrath
have melted into another cheap dinner and a hundred dollars in cash.
You used to like baseball, you used to be a funny guy
and now every crack of the bat makes you wanna cry.
