Lyrics

Standing on the sidewalk, watching all the world go by
Nothing's ever easy, brother, don't you ask me why
'Cause these are our fears and we don't need nothing more
And this is our home and I can't believe we've traveled so far
Control, you've gotta let go
I'll only make this lie forever
Bounce like an echo, love like a chokehold
Why won't you let this die?
And we'll go out, out in style
Walking down the seafront, tryna keep my senses numb
You tell me that I'm helpless, waiting for the tide to turn
But this is my skin and it won't feel nothing more
'Cause this is your bed and I must insist you lie in it alone
Control, you've gotta let go
I'll only make this lie forever
Bounce like an echo, love like a chokehold
Why won't you let this die?
And we'll go out, out
So let the night become the dawn
And darkness over bare our soul
I see the light within you start to fade
So let the night become the dawn
And darkness over bare our soul
I see the light within you start to fade
Start to fade
I watch you fade
Control, you've gotta let go
I'll only make this lie forever
Bounce like an echo, love like a chokehold
Why won't you let this die?
Control, you've gotta let go
I'll only make this lie forever
Bounce like an echo, love like a chokehold
Why won't you let this die?
And we'll go out, out in style
