THE SMITH STREET BAND LYRICS

"Self-Control"

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
