Lyrics
I Can?t Control It
I close my eyes on a roller coaster ride
I can?t control it. Guess I?ll just enjoy it
I hold my breath when I think I?m gonna fall down
Cause I can?t control it. I can?t avoid it.
And I like the thrill of not always knowing what?s gonna
happen next
I can?t control it, but I hope there?s a cushion there.
The rain pours down. I thought the sun was supposed to shine
I can?t control it. Guess I?ll just enjoy it
I cross my fingers in anticipation
Did I get it? Did I win it?
And I like the thrill I get when I don't know what's gonna happen next
I can?t control it, but a four-leaf clover I wear.
(Break)
I stare out the window as I watch you leave
I hope you?ll be safe. I don?t want to suffocate you.
I lift my feet up over railroad tracks
I?m real careful. I don?t step on any cracks
And I like the thrill I get when I don't know what's gonna happen next
I can?t control it, but I hope there?s a cushion there.
I close my eyes on a roller coaster ride
I can?t control it. Guess I?ll just enjoy it
I hold my breath when I think I?m gonna fall down
Cause I can?t control it. I can?t avoid it.
And I like the thrill I get when I don't know what's gonna
happen next
I can?t control it, but I hope there?s a cushion there
I can?t control it, but a four-leaf clover I wear.
