Lyrics
Control
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, it started as a game
Using pleasure, using paint
We got higher and higher that way
But it didn't work today
Even though it felt so right
Nothing's permanent in life
So it's useless to hold on so tight
You gotta give it up, give it up, give it up, ohh
Give it up, give it up, ohh
Give it up, give it up
You lost control cause nothing stays around too long
So now everything has changed
And your heart spread, rearranged
Until nothing we've known here remains
And you say you shouldn't stay
As you're taking off your clothes
You think it's loving, I suppose
It's just you endlessly needing control
Nothing stays around too long
Nothing stays around too long
You lost control
You gotta give it up.
