lyrics

A thousand eyes can't break this trance
We recognize, we own this dance
We both heard the whisper that said “we’re ok”

In these dreams we’re 17
But without all the fears, that caged us in
Yet still we go out of our way to be alone
Could this loneliness go and leave us alone for a day?

I can't, I can't, I can't control myself
I can't, I can't, I can't control myself

When all things we’ve ever had
Come to their ends, whether good or bad
I’ll hold you as you shed your tears for days

If you break, again and again
Or if you decide you just needed a friend
I’ll lift you up above our heads to escape
And I’ll carry you until you’re ready to walk again

I can't, I can't, I can't control myself
I can't, I can't, I can't control myself
