Lyrics

Understand one thing
If and when you drink
From this vast ocean
You can't control it
No, no
You can't control it
Mom forget to tuck you in
Make you begin a war within your head
One that you could never win
Sending the troops and insecurities
But doesn't matter in the end
So daddy told you, hold your chin up, son and
Understand one thing
If and when you drink
From this vast ocean
You can't control it
No, no
No, you can't control it
The precession underway
Understand the magnitude of the melodies that they make
But did it fill your lungs with rage?
What's the matter? Did catastrophe get you tongue-tied and afraid?
And when the band began to play
But daddy wiped the tears away
He said, son, please
Understand one thing
If and when you drink
From this vast ocean
You can't control it
No, no
No, you can't control it
No, no
No, you can't control it
No, no
No, you can't control it
