[Intro — Whispered, filtered vocal] You know exactly what you’re doing. Don’t pretend you don’t. [Glitch] C—CTRL me. [Verse 1 — Cool, teasing delivery] You walk in and my good sense crashes One look and every rule goes missing I had a whole night planned without you Now I’m changing every setting You barely touch me, still I react Like my body learned your shortcut You smile like you already know Exactly which button fucks me up [Pre-Hook — Tension building] I could play it careful I could keep my hands clean But you make losing control Look way too good on me [Hook — Heavy electronic drop] CTRL me Make me forget what I came here thinking CTRL me One little look and my whole head’s spinning Hit delete on every reason I should keep you at arm’s length If you want me, don’t be subtle Baby, test my restraint I know exactly what I’m asking And you know exactly what I mean Come on CTRL me [Post-Hook — Chopped/stuttered vocal] C-C-CTRL C-C-CTRL me Don’t stop Don’t stop— [Verse 2 — More swagger] You type your name into my heartbeat Leave your fingerprints on every thought I keep trying to change the subject You keep changing what I want You don’t need some grand seduction You just lean in, nice and slow And suddenly every bit of confidence I walked in with is gone [Pre-Hook — Rising synth pulse] I could fight the feeling Make you work a little more But the truth is I like watching My composure hit the floor [Hook] CTRL me Make me forget what I came here thinking CTRL me One little look and my whole head’s spinning Hit delete on every reason I should keep you at arm’s length If you want me, don’t be subtle Baby, test my restraint I know exactly what I’m asking And you know exactly what I mean Come on CTRL me [Bridge — Beat cuts, intimate close-mic vocal] Here’s the funny part— I could stop this whenever I want But I don’t want to I like the way you look at me Like you found the hidden menu Like everybody else got the surface And somehow You got access [Build — Percussion returning, vocal layering] Turn it up Push too far Make me forget who’s in charge Then look me in the eyes And wait for me to say— [High Note] DO IT AGAAAAAIN! [Final Hook — Huge, distorted harmonies] CTRL me Yeah, tonight I’m done pretending CTRL me Take my self-control and bend it Kill the filter Cut the caution Make a beautiful mistake I don’t need another warning I just need you in my space I know exactly what I’m giving So don’t confuse it with defeat I’m choosing this I’m choosing you So come on CTRL me [Outro — Digital decay, breathy vocal] C—CTRL me Just like that [Glitch] Again.
