Lyrics

Control

Calling from a distance
I hear your voice again
All the signs are pointing to
What I don't understand

Are you now the kiss of life hiding in the dark?
'Cause every time I've reached alone
Feels like I'm missing every mark

I'll take a chance tonight
Another roll of the dice
I can't lose with you

High but you're falling like the rain
Blinded by illusions, but you do it all over again
High, you know it's just a game
I'm looking for forever, just a chance to start again

They say I'm out of action losing all control
I'm keeping count of every move in a city I call home
You never gave a warning like an arrow tears the sky
Bring me to my senses 'cause tomorrow's open wide

I feel more alive
Than I ever did in time
I can't lose with you

High but you're falling like the rain
Blinded by illusions, but you do it all over again
High, you know it's just a game
I'm looking for forever, just a chance to start again

High but you're falling like the rain
Blinded by illusions, but you do it all over again
High, you know it's just a game
I'm looking for forever, I just wanna start over again
