Backfire Lyrics

Please tell me, why are we trying so hard?
Why worry, it's over,
We always fall right back to where we start.

There goes another one of our sure fired plans,
That backfired again.
We try to think it through the best that we can,
I bet it's gonna backfire again.

Take what is given you,
How does that sound?
Everything is all thought through and fool proof,
Now watch it all crumble down, and down again.

There goes another one of our sure fired plans,
That backfired again.
We try to think it through the best that we can,
I bet it's gonna backfire again.

Backfire again,
It's gonna backfire again.

Knives don't carry laws that vary,
They're just what we fall on.
Self-made coffins, scars are talking,
Tell us where we are, where we are.
Where we are now. [x3

They all, they all,
They all are talking.
They all, they all,
They all will tell another story.

There goes another on of our sure fired plans, (Sure fired plans)
That backfired again.
(Sure fired plans)

We try to think it through the best that we can,
(Oh)
I bet it's gonna backfire again.
(They’re gonna backfire again)

There goes another on of our sure fire plans, (Sure fire plans)
It backfired again.
We try to feed through the best that we can, (Backfire again)
I bet it's gonna backfire again.

LOVE this song... It is a portrayal of what happens when we make our own plans... always backfire on us...

Least favorite song on the album, honestly. I like Paul's voice in the verses, and the drumming, obviously. But this song just seems to easy for Mute Math. They're better than this song.

Yeah, not my favorite on the album either, but I really enjoyed their performance of this song on Letterman..the song is very catchy..Mute Math is so good I guess it just doesn't shine out as well as it would if another band wrote it
