Aimee Mann - Backfire lyrics

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...
