Under Control

I get out of bed each morning on time

Turn on the lights and open all the blinds

Gather up my doubts and drown them all out

In manufactured reasons to be proud

‘Cause everyone always deserves to be proud

I’ll have a holiday for undue credit

Find a bad habit and a way to quit it

And know with my steady soul

That everything is always under control

And if someone tries to be kind, I’ll find a way

To smile wide and find something to say

If there's nothing there, that's okay

We can hitch ourselves to little white lies and triangulate

'Cause none of us fit together the way that we're made

I've got stakes in the ground that I can stand close to

Make conversation, laugh when I'm supposed to

‘Cause oh, who wants to be alone?

Everything is always under control

You can change your standards till somebody meets them

Someone you can tolerate until you need them

And oh, our star-crossed souls

Oh, everything is always under control

If I should start to drift, I’ll feel for a rope

Move hand over hand and don’t let go

Just trust a little bit and before you know

You’ll forget you ever wondered where it goes
