# OUT OF MY CONTROL *Tristan Vance | Project: TOMORROW* [Intro: Low, intimate vocals over atmospheric synths] Yeah... Funny how the things I can't explain Are the things I feel the most. Tell me, darling, What am I supposed to do with that? [Verse 1] Four in the morning, city lights blue Another long night with a clear point of view Got ten solutions, got nothing to prove Then you walk in, and I lose my cool Your name on my screen, I pretend I don't see Three unread messages, all from me I know the difference between want and need So why's your voice doing this to me? [Pre-Chorus] I can read a signal through the static Keep a steady hand when things get tragic But you look at me like you know the truth And suddenly, I don't know what to do [Chorus] You're out of my control Underneath my skin, somewhere I can't go I can lock the world outside my door But I keep on wanting something more Tell me, what's the algorithm For a heart that doesn't listen? I've got every answer I could know Still, you're out of my control Oh, out of my control Baby, you're the one thing I can't solve [Verse 2] Black coffee cooling on the windowsill You talk, I listen, though I never will Admit that I remember every little thing The way you laugh, the songs you sing I could tell you that the stars are just light Traveling through the darkness of the night But you lean closer, and I lose my line Guess the universe has jokes sometimes [Pre-Chorus] I can trace a lie inside a data stream Keep my head above a dangerous dream But you see through every wall I build And I don't know if I want you to stop [Chorus] You're out of my control Underneath my skin, somewhere I can't go I can lock the world outside my door But I keep on wanting something more Tell me, what's the algorithm For a heart that doesn't listen? I've got every answer I could know Still, you're out of my control [Post-Chorus: Layered vocals, restrained ad-libs] Out of my control (Ooh, you know you are) Out of my control (Why'd you have to get this far?) I don't chase, I don't fall I don't need nobody at all Funny how I say that When you're the one I call [Verse 3: Lower register, close-mic delivery] There's a war outside, stars on the glass Too many things I can't promise will last So I check your door, make sure you're safe Then act like I just happened this way I don't have the words that you want to hear But I make the time, and I keep you near If you ask me why, I'll probably deny it Baby, you know me. I'm not that quiet [Bridge: Sparse piano, vulnerable vocal] What if I don't have the answer? What if I don't know the way? Would you still reach for my hand If I had nothing left to say? I spend my whole life being useful Being someone people can trust But if I let you see me uncertain Would that be enough? Would I be enough? [Final Chorus: Fuller harmonies, emotional lift] You're out of my control And I don't think I want to let you go I could keep pretending I'm alright Keep you on the other side of every line But there's no perfect equation For this kind of complication And for once, I don't need to know Why you're out of my control Out of my control Baby, you're the one thing I can't solve [Outro: Soft baritone, almost spoken] I could figure out the whole damn galaxy... But you? Yeah. You're going to be a problem. My favorite one, probably. Don't look so pleased with yourself. ...Come here.
