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
