Backfire
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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
And it isn't the way I pictured it
Either

[Verse 2]
Well 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
[Chorus 2]
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

[Post-Chorus]
It's out of my hands now

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus 3]
I'm tired
I cannot seem to
Get a message to you
That the rescue you planned has just
Backfired
I know you had plans
Your intentions were grand
But it's out of my hands now
[Post-Chorus]
It's out of my hands now

[Outro]
And it isn't the way I pictured it
Either
(It's out of my hands now)
No it isn't the way I pictured it
Either
(It's out of my hands now)
No it isn't the way I pictured it
Either
(It's out of my hands)
(It's out of my hands now)
No it isn't the way I pictured it
Either
(It's out of my hands)
(It's out of my hands now)
Either
(It's out of my hands)
(It's out of my hands now)
