The night we said that we had won at life, We were high as fucking kites, above the city, And no ones ever looked as pretty as when you turned to walk away Had to silence my addiction, my inherent invincibility But we all learn from and yearn for what we had, In the guts of the glory days, Look back and be nostalgic, to blanket our current fears, I look death in the eye once a week, for a couple of years
Come on teach me self control, come on tell we what to say Come on teach me self control, come on tell we what to say And I don't think that I could make anyone feel like this I don't think I could make anyone feel like this Don't think I could make anyone feel this shit
My formative years I got as drunk as anyone And I wonder how that will affect me, Now that those years have been and gone, My stagnant half form, My mind malnourished and my bones near breaking, Why does everyone come up like this Never giving, always taking The issues that we let cloud our heads to distract ourselves From how fucked we truly are Passion can be pointless if it’s all for passion sake Thank everything that I found else my life, Would've been a complete waste
Come on teach me self control, come on tell we what to say Come on teach me self control, come on tell we what to say And I don't think that I could make anyone feel like this I don't think that I could make anyone feel like this Don't think that I could make anyone feel this shit
These dreams unfamiliar but sincere, Let myself disappear in the warmth of the back seat Press my knees into the fake sheepskin Trying to pick who next to run away with Cause I'm killing my relationships But trying to keep a lid on it I won't survive in happiness I want to be in love again
Come on teach me self control, come on tell we what to say Come on teach me self control, come on tell we what to say And I don't think that I could make anyone feel like this I don't think I could make anyone feel like this Don't think I could make anyone feel this shit
