"Control" lyrics

"Control"

Keep a list of the things that you've been told
Every risk that you take, it may not be your own
Patterns shift, readjust and repeat with narrowed focus
Wait for calls on the phone that you hope will never come

Every moment that sits unfilled just serves to remind you
A distraction can't replace what's been gone for far too long

Track all the time that's leaving, you haven't got the time to wait
Track all the time that's running out

I'll try to keep you close
I'll try to keep you close

Chance has no memory of what's been done or yet to come
But odds are your luck is running out

You're pushing along
There's no one to take you home
You're racing alone
This loss is closing in as you're dragging on

You're pushing along
There's no one to take you home
You pedal alone
This loss is closing in as you're dragging on

I'll try to keep you close
I'll try to keep you
I'll try to keep you close
I'll try to keep you
I'll try to keep you close
I'll try to keep you

You're pushing along
I'll keep this hold, hold you close, keep us out of any harm
You're racing alone
I'll keep this hold, get you home, keep you out of any harm

You're pushing along
I'll keep this hold, hold you close, keep us out of any harm
You pedal alone
I'll keep this hold, get you home, keep you out of any harm
