Out of Control
Crosby Stills Nash & Young Lyrics

Once high on a hill
There was a time when things were good and life was beautiful.

There was a song
Life was filled with music and joy.

Nothing was wrong
Life was perfect, without problems or worries.

That's when time stood still
Life was so perfect that everything seemed to pause and stay still.

Now lovers are caught
Couples are trapped in their own thoughts and feelings.

Left in their thoughts
Couples are consumed by their own dreams and aspirations.

Tied to their dreams
Couples are connected to their hopes and desires for the future.

Bound by the depth of their love
Couples are held together by the strength and intensity of their love.

If I can't hold on to you
Without you, I am lost and empty.

If all of our dreams won't come true
If our hopes and aspirations for the future do not materialize.

I'll cover you, I'll cover you
I will be there to protect you and shelter you from harm.

Sky is fire, Hell is blue
The world is upside down and everything is out of control.

That's why I'm out of control
The chaos and uncertainty of life has made me lose my sense of balance.

Build myself up, tear myself down
I am constantly trying to improve myself, but often end up feeling worse instead of better.

Build myself up again
Despite my failures and setbacks, I will continue to strive for self-improvement and growth.

I'm talking to you
I am reaching out to you, hoping for a connection and understanding.

Trying to get through
I am making an effort to break through the barriers between us and connect on a deeper level.

Lost in the mirror of love
I am trapped in my own reflections on love and relationships, unable to see clearly.

Somewhere near the end
At the end of the relationship, when things are falling apart and the end is near.

Lovers pretend
Couples try to hold on to what they have, pretending that things are still okay.

Lose what they feel
Couples lose the deep emotional connections and feelings they once had.

Keep what they get from love
Couples hold on to the superficial things that they receive from their relationship, but lose the deeper connections.

Start missing the drive
Couples lose the motivation and passion they had for each other and the relationship.

Staying alive
Trying to keep the relationship alive, despite all the difficulties and challenges.

Four out of Five
Most relationships end up failing, despite the best efforts of those involved.

Without the feeling of love
When the love and emotional connections are gone, the relationship is empty and meaningless.

If this heart is fire and hell is blue
When the heart is burning with passion and love, but everything else is falling apart and chaotic.
