lyrics

I burned my tongue today
Too hot but I drank it anyway
I should have known better
Yes I can accept that
But I had to wake up some how
What are you doing up anyhow
You could have slept in late
And it's too damn early
I thought I could handle it
But I really can't handle it now

I guess what I'm trying to say
Is that I'm still learning
Each and every day
Your parents didn't have it figured out                                            Although it looked that way
I thought that I'd get it
I hate to admit it
But I'm still growing up

I got these bills to pay
But you want a video game
And I'm not going to lie
I kinda want it too
The foundation has a crack
And How do I fix a flat
The basement's going to flood
Have you seen my hammer
Maybe I'll just tape it up
Can it wait until tomorrow

What I'm trying to say
Is that I'm still learning
Each and every day
Your parents didn't have it figured out                                            Although it looked that way
I thought that I'd get it
I hate to admit it
But I'm still growing up

Every day is played for time
If you want me get in line
I've only got so many hands
I need more like ten
There's got to be some secret
Some hidden minute aspect
That makes it all make sense    
If you know please tell me
I'm keeping my eyes open
Maybe one day I'll figure it out

Cuz what I'm trying to say
Is that I'm still learning
Each and every day
Your parents didn't have it figured out                                            Although it looked that way
I thought that I'd get it
I hate to admit it
But I'm still growing up
