Jake Lyrics by Lisa Loeb

Firecracker

0

I'm going as far as I can go
Away from here
Away from you, Jake
And the hole you've sunk me into
I wish that I could belong here with you
And just be
But that's not all that I'm about

Your life is built on accidents
Like meeting me
You write everything down in your grocery list
People do this
Even insects buzz like airplanes
Why can't we fly away
I'm going as far as I can go

Your dad died, cuz his heart hurt
Arking away his forty-five years
Dragging your mom along
Well I don't want that
And neither do you, neither do you
If I am not fun, and I am not interesting
Perhaps I am not interested in you
Neither are you

You can't stand in front of an oven
When it's warm, cuz the fumes are dangerous

I'm going as far as I can go
Away from here
Away from you, Jake
And the hole you've sunk me into
I wish that I could belong here with you
And just be
But that's not all that I'm about to do
