[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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 ones on my side

Duck your head and run for cover

Cross that bridge and just move on

Save myself but 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

[Bridge]

And I can't find a cure

Oh, to fix me anymore

And all these things I've done

Have got me on the run

Got me on the run

[Pre-Chorus]

Backfire

They backfire, all these choices

[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

[Outro]

Get me out of this God-forsaken city

Let me start over somewhere new
