Lyrics

Control

Oh no

I'm not living in your head, am I?

It shows

No illusions on my end

It's simple

I know

That there's no reason in your mind

To let go

And you won't

Good thing I'm in control

Cut it all out

Cut it all out

Give in

(And I don't wanna let it go no oh no oh)

Will you just

Cut it all out

Cut it all out

Zip it

I'm in control

And I don't wanna let it go no oh no oh (X2)

Cut it all out

And I don't wanna let it go, no oh no oh

Cut it all out

Take note

A good speaker never acts on impulse

I've grown

Because now I'm in control

Come on you showed up

And now I wanna know you

Don't close up

I'm movin' wicked slow

A good smolder

A little smokin' coal

I know tough lovin'

'll get the trigger pulled

Come on you showed up

And now I wanna know you

Don't close up

I'm movin' wicked slow

A good smolder

A little smokin' coal

And this breath'll make you glow
