Control
The Icarus Account Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I remember every word she said to me
It's like I'm losing touch with all consistency

I'm gonna write it down,
I'm gonna get it right
I'm gonna put up a fight
But I don't know how to say this
All I've ever known is lost
I've got my fingers crossed
Cuz I don't know how to shake this

Oh She's got me losing control
She's got me going so

I think I'm falling in love with her
I think I'm falling in love with her

And Oh
This time I'll get it right
Just living enough to fight another day for you
And baby breathe
Take a deep breath in and out
I hope you know that I'm thinking about you all the time my love
Cuz it's always nice to see you
Oh it's nice to see you singing

Oh She's got me losing control
She's got me going so

I think I'm falling in love with her
I think I'm falling in love with her

And she's all I've ever wanted, she's all I've ever needed
She's all I've ever dreamed of in all my days
And I can't keep holding back, I just don't know how to act
If I lose control tonight yeah that's alright with me
She's got me singing out

Oh She's got me losing control
She's got me going so

I think I'm falling in love with her
I think I'm falling in love with her

And she's all I've ever wanted, she's all I've ever needed
She's all I've ever dreamed of in all my days
And I can't keep holding back, I just don't know how to act




If I lose control tonight yeah that's alright with me
She's got me singing out
