I Am Not In Control

I am not in control.
It's sad that you go to the lengths that you go to make me come to believe I would do best if you’d let this be.

Into the night,
I let you drive and throw caution aside safely.
Kick up my feet.
It's up to everyone else but me!

Doesn't it sound just like everything you'd want?
Is it the kind of thing you've found you're living on?
Have you come all the way around the sun to find you're not the only?
Doesn't it sound just like everything?

Here it is in my gut.
I'm reaching but can't seem to get from the rut you've made me.
I'm on my knees.
It gets to my chest and I beg you, "Please!"

This is not on a whim!
You let me out to just to bring me in! Maybe I'll never win.
To think it's the end will make it just begin!
Maybe it's in the cards to make it so hard for me.
Just a part of the game, don't make it too plain to see.
I've kept this under guard.
They'd never believe the things that you'd say to me!
"Don't think you'll make it farther than the start of when you make‐believe!"

Doesn't it sound just like everything you'd want?
Is it the kind of thing you've found you're living on?
Have you come all the way around the sun to find you're not the only?
Doesn't it sound just like everything?
