Everybody knows at least one guy (or gal) who – how to say this – is “making poor life choices”. The guy or gal who overindulges in some drug or experience, or who lives too large on too little money, or who makes the wrong commitments to the wrong people, or…. And you want to help them make better choices? But they can’t – or won’t – listen.
Somebody come to mind? Yeah. That guy.
Your Fuse is a song about that. And it’s funny, when I started on the lyrics for this one, that’s not at all what I had in mind for the song, they just kinda popped out. So, I guess that’s really what I had in mind after all. Huh.
Dropping 5-28-25, “Your Fuse” is that funky, danceable track you play when you want to tell someone they’re skating on thin ice.
And seriously? I hope this helps somebody.

Here’s the lyrics:
Don’t be shy and
Don’t be cute
Don’t put on your parachute
Don’t be crass and
Don’t be cruel
We’re not back in your grade school
Don’t come at me you’re paper mâché
In your camo and green beret
You’re carrying baggage so unload
Hear me out before you implode
Your fuse is lit
You’re running low
You’re like that frog that’s boiling slow
Your fuse is lit
You’re overdrawn
That time you think you’ve got is gone
Don’t be early
Don’t be late
Don’t act like this is your fate
Don’t be sad and
Don’t be blue
This just might be your breakthrough
Don’t come at me you’re paper mâché
In your camo and green beret
You’re carrying baggage so unload
Hear me out before you implode
Your fuse is lit
You’re running low
You’re like that frog that’s boiling slow
Your fuse is lit
You’re overdrawn
That time you think you’ve got is gone
Don’t be cheerful
Don’t be pleased
Wait until you have been squeezed
Don’t be sorry
Don’t be sad
This might be your launching pad
Don’t come at me you’re paper mâché
In your camo and green beret
You’re carrying baggage so unload
Hear me out before you implode
Your fuse is lit
You’re running low
You’re like that frog that’s boiling slow
Your fuse is lit
You’re overdrawn
That time you think you’ve got is gone
Your fuse is lit
You’re too widespread
Right now you’re hanging by a thread
Your fuse is lit
You’re running down
You’re in too deep you’re gonna drown
Your fuse is lit
You’re running low
You’re like that frog that’s boiling slow
Your fuse is lit
You’re overdrawn
That time you think you’ve got is gone
