self-control - the smith street band lyrics

[verse 1]
the night we said that we had won at life
we were high as f-cking kites
above the city and no one’s ever looked as pretty
as when you turned to walk away
i had the silo, 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 looked death in the eye once a week for a couple of years

[chorus]
come on, teach me self-control
come on, tell me 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 sh-t

[verse 2]
in 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
am i stagnant and half-formed?
my mind malnourished and my bones near breaking
or does everyone come up like this? never giving, always taking
the issues that we let cloud our heads
to distract ourselves from how f-cked we truly are
and p-ssion can be pointless if it’s all for p-ssion’s sake
i thank everything that i found this or my life
would have been a complete waste

[bridge]
these streets unfamiliar but sincere
i let myself disappear in the warmth of the back seat
press my knees into the fake sheepskin
and try to pick who next to run away with
’cause i’m k!lling my relationships
by trying to keep a lid on it
i want some dive-in happiness
i want to be in love again

[chorus]
come on, teach me self-control
come on, tell me what to say
come on, teach me self-control
come on, tell me 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 sh-t
feel this sh-t
