Under Control
By: John Torres and Tim Kobza

V1
Making plans for every day
Hoping that life won’t get in your way
Trying to tell the wind which way to blow
Telling your fortune which way it should go
So this is out of my control
My simple arrangement has taken its toll
And my house of cards comes crashing down
My miscalculation the toast of the town
CH
You push yourself
You lose your grip
You feel yourself about to slip
The best laid plan
Is laid to rest
I guess it wasn’t quite the best
Give me a way out
Give me the answer
The room is spinning
But I’m not a dancer
I’m going under
Oh I’m going under control
V2
It’s a well worn path for sure
I pick my poison then pray for the cure
And since it always ends the same
I’ve run out of excuses and people to blame
But I can’t see what’s coming around
The cause and effect never cease to astound
And how many times till I finally know
That I’m not the one pulling string in the show
CH
I curse myself
I’m tired of this
To think I’d orchestrate my bliss
The earth will turn
The poles will switch
And we’ll just have to deal with it
Give me a way out
Give me the answer
The room is spinning
But I’m not a dancer
I’m going under
Oh I’m going under control
Bridge
Giving up on this arrangement
Gonna let the future be the future
Let it happen as it will
Nothing I can do to make it sooner
Giving up on this arrangement
Gonna let the future be the future
Let it happen as it will
Nothing I can do to make it sooner
