Track #04

Letting Go of Control

A song about when you throw 120% of yourself at a problem, but still fail to make it budge.



Lyrics

04_LettingGo

Walking through the door
Pacing through your thoughts
Today is the day you’re taking back what’s yours
Bumps along the pavement
Slightly less courageous
That thing you figured out requires attention

Picking up the phone
Reality has called
You find out you’re not getting what you bargained for
So wait out in the lobby
Your future isn’t ready
Avoid the broken glass in your memories

And your soul it wants to sing louder
Your heart could beat a bit faster
But life just keeps getting harder

Too slow, not bold
All talk, no walk
You’ve sold an empty show
Too late, afraid
Just to make one more mistake

It got washed out by the flow
The sense you’re in control

***Instrumental***

Convinced that you need more
Trying to ignore
Today is the day you might lose everything and more
You tried to let your guard down
But instead you let yourself down
Accept the fact your mind won’t let you sleep now

And your soul it can’t sing much louder
Your heart won’t beat any faster
When you thought the worst part was over

Too cruel, too soon
Outsleep the moon
You’ve still got much to prove
Too much to break
When your make up starts to flake

It crept up like a ghost
You can’t keep your control

You’ll wash back onto shore
When you learn to lose control
