Lyrics

Game Size

in control

hey, it doesn't matter what you know
but you're lost if you can't feel
open up let someone show you

life, it can really be so fine
but is sometimes such a drag
there are times it seems uptight
undone and so surreal

but i recover when i see the light
guess it's time i turn on again
better tell myself

wait a minute
don't forget it
good to be alive
and though i won't give up
i won't waste my time
cause there's no guarantee
got me lookin' for it
can't ignore it
everything's alright
i can handle this insanity just fine

in control

Long Version

in control

hey, it doesn't matter what you know
but you're lost if you can't feel
open up let someone show you

life, it can really be so fine
but is sometimes such a drag
there are times it seems uptight
undone and so surreal

but i recover when i see the light
guess it's time i turn on again
better tell myself

wait a minute
don't forget it
good to be alive
and though i won't give up
i won't waste my time
cause there's no guarantee
got me lookin' for it
can't ignore it
everything's alright
i can handle this insanity just fine

in control

words can be so misunderstood
but can sometimes ease the pain
they can ever blow your mind
that's right, it's so unreal

then i recover somewhere in the light
guess i better turn it on again
gotta tell myself

wait a minute
can't forget it
good to be alive
and though i won't give up
i won't waste my time
cause there's no guarantee
got me lookin'for it
can't ignore it
everything's alright
i can handle this insanity just fine

wait a minute
don't forget it
good to be alive
and though i won't give up
i won't waste my time
cause there's no guarantee
i been lookin' for it
can't ignore it
everyting's alright i can handle this insanity just fine
wait a minute
can't forget it
good to be alive
and though i won't give up
i won't waste my time

in control

Song Production Information

Tim Jensen

I wrote the lyrics for "in control" with the image of young people today, old enough to see the world as is, with its ups and downs, good times and bad times but not too jaded to just give up, instead, being strong enough to be positive and keep moving forward being cool enough to be "in control" of their own lives.
