Lyrics
Control
Words and Music by Bruce Garnitz
Why can?t I move on from here?
Why is there this need to keep reliving
Patterns I repeat appear
Seem out of my control
I always seem to walk away
When changes in my life overwhelm me
Feelings that I can?t explain
Seem to take control
I built a castle made of sand
Aah_____ Aah_____
Then the tide came crashing in
And I was gone
Gone as far as gone would let me go
Chorus)
Control?Everybody thinks they need it
Control?Everybody/s got to have it
Control?Everybody wants to use it
Control?But nobody wants to lose it
Cloud castles I?ve built in the sky
Aah_____ Aah______
The winds have changed but so have I
Now I won?t go
I?ve gone as far as gone will let me go
Chorus)
Control?Everybody thinks they need it
Control?Everybody/s got to have it
Control?Everybody wants to use it
Control?But nobody wants to lose it
I think I can move on from here
No longer is my pain encased in sadness
I?ve let it go but keep it near
Under my control
Under my control
Control (repeat)
