Out of Control
Coyote Mustache Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to be whole
Til I found a little hole in my heart
Next thing I know
It's gone missing
Pretty sure you understand
The way that I'm feelin'
The whole world is caving in
And it's got me reelin'

Things are gettin' out of control
And there isn't a thing I can do about it
Things are gettin' out of control
And there isn't a thing I can do about it

There is nothing I can do about it
There is nothing I can do about it
There is nothing I can do about it
There is nothing I can do about it

I thought I could hold
All the dreams I have inside of my head
But I didn't know
That it'd go missing
It's getting pretty hard to stand
For what I believe in
When I can barely understand
The life that I'm leading

Things are gettin' out of control
And there isn't a thing I can do about it
Things are gettin' out of control
And there isn't a thing I can do about it

There is nothing I can do about it
There is nothing I can do about it
There is nothing I can do about it
There is nothing I can do about it





Things are getting out of control
Things are getting out of control

I used to be whole
There was a time when I felt complete and fulfilled


Til I found a little hole in my heart
Until I discovered a small emptiness within myself

The situation is spiraling further out of my control


Things are getting out of control
The situation is spiraling further out of my control
