[Verse 1]
Everyone says, sooner or later
You'll reach the end of the line
When things get rough
Some think it's easy
To jump the ship...
You decide

[Pre-Chorus]
I say, don't throw it away
There's about a million reasons why
Though you've heard them all before
And you're getting very tired
Lay your head on my lap
And I'll sing you this lullaby:

[Chorus 1]
Don't you know, yeah
That everyone around you
Has felt the pain you feel today?
You're out of control, yeah
And you want someone to tell you
When you wake up in the morning
It'll only be a dream

[Chorus 2]
You're out of control (You're out of control)
You're out of control, ooh
You're out of control (You're out of control)
Ooh, you're out of control
[Bridge]
There's a cloud rollin' overhead
And it seems to rain on no one else
There's a black sun casting a black shadow
And I know you feel so all alone
And you're out of control
And you want the world to love you
Oh, and maybe you just want a chance
To let them know, yeah
That you live and breathe and suffer
And your back is in the corner
And you've got nowhere to go

[Verse 2]
Nothin' for nothin'
Everything's right at your fingertips
For a price
Who ever said
That life on this planet would ever be
Paradise?

[Pre-Chorus]
I say, don't throw it away
You've got too many things to say
If you throw away your life
If you throw away your life
If you throw away your life...
The world will never be the same
[Chorus 1]
Don't you know, yeah
That everyone around you
Has felt the pain you feel today?
You're out of control, yeah
And you want someone to tell you
When you wake up in the morning
It'll only be a dream

[Chorus 2]
You're out of control (You're out of control)
You're out of control
You're out of control (You're out of control)
Ooh, you're out of control

[Chorus 1]
Don't you know
That everyone around you
Has felt the pain you feel today?
You're out of control, yeah...
It'll only be a dream

[Chorus 2]
You're out of control, ooh
And you move without direction
And people look right through your soul
You're out of control
And you want someone to tell you:
When you wake up in the morning
It'll only be a dream
[Outro]
And I wish that I could tell you
It'll only be a dream
