Control

[Verse 1] You can keep your comfort Paint your fences white You can write your days up on a wall Get up real early And plant your garden But you can't tell the seeds when to grow No, you can't tell the seeds when to grow [Chorus] And maybe you're the god of your dominion And maybe you're the king of all you see Maybe you are young, maybe you are strong Put all your life in rows But this world is still out of your control [Verse 2] You can wear your best coat And heat your spaces But you can't tell the sun to warm your face Put on your Sunday best And fuss with your makeup Cover up the wounds inside your heart No, you can't cover up the wounds inside your heart [Chorus] And maybe you're the god of your dominion And maybe you're the king of all you see Maybe you are young, maybe you are strong Put all your life in rows But this world is still out of your control [Bridge] And the birds of the sky Get along just fine out of your sight (yeah) Go ahead, you can try But in the end all you'll find is there's a reason that some things Oh, some things are left out of your control [Verse 3] See your pretty smile And let your heart go Try to force the love to be returned There's no way, can't force a love to be returned (ooh yeah) [Chorus] And maybe you're the god of your dominion And maybe you're the king of all you see Maybe you are young, maybe you are strong Put all your life in rows But this world It's still out of your control Out of your control
