Control Part Two
Half a book of matches and a dead cell phone
Eight hundred and sixty-four miles from home
Guessing what will happen by my tv education
Guess I ought to listen and learn my station
It ain't like the movies
Life's not like a song
Good folks can't remember
Bad folks get along
I got nothing against my ex's
We just had different paths
Don't wish no bad upon them
Always hoped their good things last
As time goes on the worst things happen
Why do I always look surprised
Brightest smiles will someday sadden
Death and hope may compromise
And it's a sure thing
It's what we all have in common
The one real thing
Happens to us all
And the best things
We can hope for
Is having known
True love before the fall
I put on a tough face for the strangers
It's a rough face anyway
I need to soften from the danger
Play the part I'm supposed to play
Wish I had control of laughter
Wish I had a better way
I've made it clear through my disaster
I can't earn the price to pay
I'd like to be stoic romantic
And I'm not the only one
Truth is life slips in to panic
Once the certainty hits home
I believe I believe I believe
Keep stressing that
There's something bigger can take my cross
And in the far chance I'm deceived
I still believe there's nothing lost
Eight hundred and sixty-four miles from home
Guessing what will happen by my tv education
Guess I ought to listen and learn my station
It ain't like the movies
Life's not like a song
Good folks can't remember
Bad folks get along
I got nothing against my ex's
We just had different paths
Don't wish no bad upon them
Always hoped their good things last
As time goes on the worst things happen
Why do I always look surprised
Brightest smiles will someday sadden
Death and hope may compromise
And it's a sure thing
It's what we all have in common
The one real thing
Happens to us all
And the best things
We can hope for
Is having known
True love before the fall
I put on a tough face for the strangers
It's a rough face anyway
I need to soften from the danger
Play the part I'm supposed to play
Wish I had control of laughter
Wish I had a better way
I've made it clear through my disaster
I can't earn the price to pay
I'd like to be stoic romantic
And I'm not the only one
Truth is life slips in to panic
Once the certainty hits home
I believe I believe I believe
Keep stressing that
There's something bigger can take my cross
And in the far chance I'm deceived
I still believe there's nothing lost
