Lyrics
Came home early yesterday, a day ahead of when she said
Came home earlier than expected, before the agreed-upon time
Found me with another girl, caught us lying both in bed
Discovered in a compromising situation with another woman in bed
(chorus)
She didn’t say a word
His partner remained silent, didn’t verbally react to the situation
She acted like it didn’t even faze her
She acted unaffected, as if it didn't bother her
She opened up the drawer
She retrieved a piece of paper from a drawer
And just pulled out a whitish sheet of paper
The paper she retrieved was white in color
What could I say, what could I do?
The narrator is at a loss for words or actions in response to the situation
My hand was in the cookie jar
The narrator acknowledges guilt, being caught red-handed
The egg was drippin’ from my face
The narrator is embarrassed, feeling exposed
Lawyer said I got no case.
The lawyer advised there's no defense for the situation
(chorus)
Move out fireball express
The narrator expresses the urgency to leave quickly, likening it to a fast-moving train
Got to take me far away from all this mess
Needs to distance himself from the chaotic situation
Gonna speed away my troubles more or less...
Intends to speedily escape from his problems, though not entirely
Fireball . . . .
Reiterates the urgency to depart, using "Fireball" as a metaphor for swift departure
