Lose Control (Live at The Ryman)

And the most consistent thing in my life, Jesse Hampton on his guitar

This song is called "Lose Control"

Yeah, I want you to do it too

Something's got a hold of me lately

No, I don't know myself anymore

Feels like the walls are all closing in

And the devil's knocking at my door, whoa

Out of my mind, how many times

Did I tell you I'm no good at being alone?

Yeah, it's taking a toll on me, trying my best to keep

From tearing the skin off my bones, don't you know

I lose control

When you're not next to me

I'm falling apart right in front of you, can't you see?

I lose control

When you're not next to me, oh-oh

Yeah, you're breaking my heart, baby, you make a mess of me

Problematic

See problem is I want your body like a fiend, like a bad habit

Bad habit's hard to break when I'm with you

Yeah, I know, I can do it on my own

But I want that real full moon black magic and it takes two

Problematic

See problem is when I'm with you, I'm an addict

And I need some relief, my skin in your teeth

Can't see the forest through the trees

Got me down on my knees, darling, please, oh

I lose control

When you're not next to me

I'm falling apart right in front of you, can't you see?

I lose control

When you're not next to me, oh-oh

Yeah, you're breaking my heart, baby, you make a mess of me

(My best friend Eddie Maxwell on the other guitar, y'all)

You better play

Alright, let me hear if y'all can really sing

I lose control

When you're not next to me

I'm falling apart right in front of you, can't you see?

I lose control

When you're not next to me, oh-oh

Yeah, you're breaking my heart, baby, you make a mess of me

Thank you, y'all make some noise for the best man on the planet, Freak Freely

And if you got anybody you love with you this evening, why don't you just hold 'em close

Give 'em a little smoochy woochy, kissy woosy or some' and say, "I love you, baby"
