Get me out of this god forsaken city,
Let me start over somewhere new.
All my friends have turned up missing,
I can't blame it on my youth.
Throw my heart in the well of wishing,
Pay my toll to just move on.
Ask myself to please forgive me,
All my innocence is gone.
[Chorus:]
Backfire they backfire all these choices
You're scared to make.
'Cause they backfire they backfire all these choices
You're scared to make.
All the street lights lead me to the river,
All my ghosts not far behind.
If I could leave this town forever..
It seems like no one's on my side.
Duck your head and run for cover,
Cross that bridge and just move on.
Deceive myself or lose another,
All my innocence is gone..
[Chorus:]
Backfire they backfire all these choices
You're scared to make.
'Cause they backfire they backfire all these choices
You're scared to make.
And I can't find a cure.
Would it fix me anymore?
And all these things I've done
Have got me on the run..
Got me on the run…
[Chorus:]
Backfire they backfire all these choices
You're scared to make.
'Cause they backfire they backfire all these choices
You're scared to make.
Get me out of this god forsaken city,
Let me start over somewhere new…
