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
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..
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
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 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
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 this isn't the way I pictured it either... (its out of my hands, its out of my hands now) 3x
