lyrics

If I could think of ten ways to
Be in control in control of you
I’d frame and hang them on my wall
Recite it every break of dawn

A plan to keep from losing my head
Erase everything that you said
A plan for all the times that I’ve
Run away from by your side

By your side

And everyone I know is doing their own thing
It seems impossible to break out of these bad habits that I’m in
The song goes out of time in the irrepressible din
I’d like to retrace my steps back to the point where routine wasn’t wearing thin

She came in one day after a shift
And said she’d realised a strange motif
Whatever goals she’d had in the past
She’d always achieved them at the last

I said, “You know I disagree
I’m more the type to fend off bees”
But maybe it’s just point of view
That keeps some of us feeling blue

And I guess it’s true

That everyone I know is doing their own thing
It seems impossible to break out of these bad habits that I’m in
The song goes out of time in the irrepressible din
I’d like to retrace my steps back to the point where routine wasn’t wearing thin

If I could think of ten ways to
Be in control in control of you
I’d frame and hang them on my wall
Recite it every break of dawn

If I could think of ten ways to
Be in control in control of you
Then I’d have no troubles at all
But I guess that’s not the point of it all

If I could think of ten ways to
Work and play and speak the truth
Then I’d have no troubles at all
But I guess that’s not the point of it all

The point of it all

And everyone I know is doing their own thing
It seems impossible to break out of these bad habits that I’m in
The song goes out of time in the irrepressible din
I’d like to retrace my steps back to the point where routine wasn’t wearing thin
