Lyrics

Total Control

Looking counter clockwise

Knowing what could happen

Any moment maybe you

Maybe even you

[Verse]

Steadfast collapse

Always certain any moment

Maybe you maybe you

Maybe even you

Recline complete dream too sweet

I can't do it not with you

Not even with you

Maybe never with you

[Chorus]

And I’d sell my soul for

Total control

Yeah I'd sell my soul for

Total control

[Verse]

Street wet tonight, lovers touch

It's pure delight

Always certain any moment

Maybe even you

Stay in bed, stay in sheets

My head hurts I repeat

Maybe you maybe you

Maybe even you

[Chorus]

And I’d sell my soul for

Total control

Oh I'd sell my soul for

Total control

[Outro]

Over you

Over you

Total control over you

Over you

Total control over you

Over you

Total control over you

Over you

Total control over you

Over you

Total control over you

Over you

Total control over you
