Short Fuse Burning Lyrics
These are all reasons why
I'll be exploding tonite
and why this chip on my shoulder
feels like a mile wide
it's from the overwork
overtime compromise
[Chorus:]
So I'm looking tonight
for some peace of mind
maybe then I'll find some strength inside
'cause I've lost any hope of ever changing
I'm a short fuse burning
And remember who I
who I used to be
just this one-trick pony
so strung on routine
yeah, stuck on repeat
like you couldn't even believe
[Chorus]
And everybody don't forget me
forget me
and everybody don't forget me
I'm not who I used to be
and everybody don't for--
and everybody don't for--
and everybody don't forget me
I forgot who I used to be
[Chorus]
And everybody don't forget me
forget me
and everybody don't forget me
I'm not who I used to be
and everybody don't for--
and everybody don't for--
and everybody don't forget me
I'm forgot who I used to be
I'll be exploding tonite
and why this chip on my shoulder
feels like a mile wide
it's from the overwork
overtime compromise
So I'm looking tonight
for some peace of mind
maybe then I'll find some strength inside
'cause I've lost any hope of ever changing
I'm a short fuse burning
who I used to be
just this one-trick pony
so strung on routine
yeah, stuck on repeat
like you couldn't even believe
forget me
and everybody don't forget me
I'm not who I used to be
and everybody don't for--
and everybody don't for--
and everybody don't forget me
I forgot who I used to be
forget me
and everybody don't forget me
I'm not who I used to be
and everybody don't for--
and everybody don't for--
and everybody don't forget me
I'm forgot who I used to be

Why are there no comments on this song??? This is in my opinion the best less than jake song there is. The lyrics are amazing and its probably thir best guitar song. doesnt need a lot of explination, just that he's at a point in his life that he can't stand and he's not who he used to be anymore and he hopes everyone remembers the old him because he doesn't like who he's become so hes about to let it all out.
@soadfan8 So, 15 years later I finally decided to see the meaning. As I'm Brazilian, not all songs have such an obvious meaning so I always try to see. With this song I got it right and I add the anger component, which for me is what short fuse burning means, a bomb about to explode. He clearly has issues with anger management. This song is awesome and I can relate to it because I've been fired by blowing up with my boss and I've been kicked out of bars, it's very difficult to control. Great album and great music.
