Understand one thing
If and when you drink from this vast ocean
You can't control it
Na, na, you can't control it
Mom forget to tuck you in
Make you begin a war within your head
One that you could never win
Send in the troops, send insecurities
What doesn't matter in the end
So daddy told you: Hold your chin up son, and
Understand one thing
If and when you drink from this vast ocean
You can't control it
Na, na, na, you can't control it
With the procession underway
Understand the magnitude of the melodies that they make
Did it fill your lungs with rage?
What's the matter, did catastrophe get your tongue tied in the fray?
When the band began to play
Daddy wiped the tears away, he said: Son
Please understand one thing
If and when you drink from this vast ocean
You can't control it
Na, na, you can't control it
Na, na, you can't control it
Na, na, you can't control it
