lyrics

I’m out of the gate
I’m out of my mind
I’m out of the thing I need to keep you satisfied

Don’t ask me again
To put you at ease
I’m the one who can’t avoid the flame, til it threatens to retreat

I’m not the one
If I even had a say at all
Trust me, babe, I said
I’m not the one
But I don’t have a say at all

I’m out of my control
I’m out of my control
I saw the fire, and the fire wouldn’t haunt me
But I can’t fight the waves
I’m out of my own…
Control

I locked every door
I melted the key
Applauding the heat for putting on a show with me

Don’t ask me again
How I’m out in the rain
When nothing is adding up, I know you know, that there’s always one to blame

I’m not the one
If I even had a say at all
Trust me, babe, I said
I’m not the one
But I don’t have a say at all

I’m out of my control
I’m out of my control
I saw the fire, and the fire wouldn’t haunt me
But I can’t fight the waves
I’m out of my own…
Control

Go ahead,
Be the one to call the shots now
Go ahead,
Be the one to take a stand
For the plan that you knew all the way
Play the faithful hand, oh

Go ahead,
Tell me I’m not gonna last, now
Go ahead,
Ask me “Are you ready, yet?”
I was set with a net of your ropes, but it broke
So I’m left with more than you ever dared to hope
I’m out of control

I'm out of my control

Go ahead,
Be the one to call the shots now
Go ahead,
Be the one to take a stand
For the plan that you knew all the way
Play the faithful hand, oh

Go ahead,
Tell me I’m not gonna last, now
Go ahead,
Ask me “Are you ready, yet?”
I was set with a net of your ropes, but it broke
So I’m left with more than you ever dared to hope
I’m out of control

I’m out of my control
I saw the fire, and the fire wouldn’t haunt me
But I can’t fight the waves
I’m out of my own…
Control

I saw the fire, and the fire wouldn’t haunt me
But I can’t fight the waves
I’m out of my own…
Control
