Control

[Intro – Clean Electric Guitar, Ambient Piano – 8 seconds] [Verse 1] Tell me where you've been tonight Who was standing by your side? Why'd you smile at someone else? What are you trying to hide? Every silence speaks to me Every answer leaves a trace If I ask another time It's because I need my place [Pre-Chorus] Little bird inside the cage Never has to fear the sky Open wings can lose their way Safe with me, you'll never fly [Chorus] I know what you really need Not the things you think you want I can see beyond your eyes Long before your thoughts are born I will hold the wheel tonight You can leave the road to me When I have control of us Everything is meant to be [Short Guitar Solo – 10 seconds] [Verse 2] Cut your hair, it suits you more Wear the colors that I choose Why'd you need those friends again? What have you got left to prove? Close the laptop, look at me Who's been writing after dark? Every secret finds a voice Every lie will leave a mark [Bridge – Music Builds] If you walk away from here Where exactly will you go? Who will know the things I know? Who will love you quite this close? [Short Emotional Guitar Rise] [Final Chorus] I know what you really need Not the dreams you try to chase I can build a better world One that keeps you feeling safe Take my hand and don't look back Let the outside disappear Love is easier to breathe When I'm the only voice you hear [Outro – Piano + Single Guitar Note] The door was never locked... You simply forgot... How to leave.
