Backfire - Aimee Mann
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 And it isn't the way I pictured it Either 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 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 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 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 And it isn't the way I pictured it Either...
