Verse 1:
   I've got some cookies from
   Our junk food run
   And here's a couple of beers
   So let's go create some fun
   Supplies are limited
   And I'm all out
   Of any explanations
   Of what I'm all about
   I'm tired
   Of having to try
   To convince you if I
   Go along it all will
  
   Chorus:
   Back-fire
   I know you had plans
   Your intentions were grand
   but it's out of my hands

   And this isn't the way I pictured it
   Either..
  
   Verse 2:
   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

   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
  
   Chorus:
   Backfire
   I know you had plans
   Your intentions were grand
   But it's out of my hands now
  
   But 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 avalance
   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 on has just
  
   Chorus:
   Backfired
   I know you had plans
   Your intentions were grand
   But it's out of my hands nows
  
   It's out of my hands
   It's out of my hands now (repeat)
  
   And this isn't the way I pictured it
   Either... (repeat)
