Lauren O'Connell - Under Control

I get out of bed each morning on time
Turn on the lights and open all the blinds
Gather up my doubts and drown them all out
In manufactured reasons to be proud
‘Cause everyone always deserves to be proud

I’ll have a holiday for undue credit
Find a bad habit and a way to quit it
And know with my steady soul
That everything is always under control

And if someone tries to be kind, I’ll find a way
To smile wide and find something to say
If there's nothing there, that's okay
We can hitch ourselves to little white lies and triangulate
'Cause none of us fit together the way that we're made

I've got stakes in the ground that I can stand close to
Make conversation, laugh when I'm supposed to
‘Cause oh, who wants to be alone?
Everything is always under control

You can change your standards till somebody meets them
Someone you can tolerate until you need them
And oh, our star-crossed souls
Oh, everything is always under control

If I should start to drift, I’ll feel for a rope
Move hand over hand and don’t let go
Just trust a little bit and before you know
You’ll forget you ever wondered where it goes
