Story behind the song
A song about guessing what might cause your partner to suddenly become upset with you.
Lyrics
Chorus:
(Spoken: Like walking through a)
Minefield, thats how my life is with you (like walking through a)
Minefield, one wrong move and you go ka-boom
All seems fine, but your tempers primed, an innocent word and you blow sky high
Minefield, dance around your hair trigger fuse
Verse 1:
I need second sight
Through all your hazards, your assumed slights
Its like juggling sticks of dynamite
To avoid a wrath so raw
Secret trigger words and phrases
Ignite the fumes and spark the blazes
Friendly hugs stoke jealous rages
Fan your furious flames, its like walking through a
Repeat chorus
Verse 2:
Danger if I deviate
Afraid Ill step on a pressure plate
That will cause your anger to detonate
Youre so fast to find fault
Every question a booby trap
Like Does this dress make me look fat?
Makes me wonder if I need a map
Around all your hidden hurts, its like walking through a
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
Ghostly shadows of lovers lost
Triggers a blast from an unknown past
That you wont forget, makes me regret
Something I never did
Minefield (Which dress do you like better, the red or the blue?)
Minefield (I dont know where I want to eat. You decide.)
Minefield (How do you like my new hairdo?)
Last chorus:
(Spoken: Like walking through a)
Minefield, thats how my life is with you (like walking through a)
Minefield, one wrong move and you go ka-boom
All seems fine, but your tempers primed, an innocent word and you blow sky high
Minefield, dance around your hair trigger fuse
Minefield, dance around your hair trigger fuse
Minefield, dance around your hair trigger . . .
