Lyrics

Backfire

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've got some cookies from our junk food run

And here's a couple beers so

Let's go create some fun

Supplies are limited and I'm all out

Of any explanation

Of what I'm on about

I'm tired

Of having to try

To convince you if I

Go along with you it all will

Backfire

I know you had plans

Your intentions were grand

But it's out of my hands now

And it ins't the way I pictured it either

So things felt weird but you said that's alright

That it was not a problem

And we could just sit tight

And when you said that I was sure I cringed

Cause you had no suspicion

That I had come unhinged

Or just tired

I cannot say which

But there's always a hitch

That will cause the whole thing to

Backfire

I know you had plans

Your intentions were grand

But it's out of my hands now

I know you'd like to be the St Bernard

Who rushes to the rescue

When there's an avalanche

But in my panic I may pull too hard

And the novice lifeguard

Gets rushed off in the ambulance

I'm tired

I cannot seem to

Get a message to you

That the rescue you planned now has just

Backfired

I know you had plans

Your intentions were grand

But it's out of my hands now

It's out of my hands now
