lyrics

Looking back on recent history
I'll tell you it was such a waste
You know you'll pay for every choice you've made
Don't let yourself suffer for too long
No, no, no

You're in control now don't forget it
The only one who knows what's next

Don't be afraid to open up your book
It's there for you to read
Learn from what's already been written
yeah, yeah, yeah
Even though the next chapter may seem daunting
Keep writing
Don't go insane over something you can change
no, no, no

You're in control now don't forget it
The only one who knows what's next

And when you feel like it's not getting better
Remember you're the author of your book
So crumple up the paper; start from scratch
Turn it into something you won't regret

Yeah, yeah yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You're in control now don't forget it
The only one who knows what's next

I engineered their Lanterns - EP in 2012, and their latest release is even better. Give it a listen. Drew Pine

Wrecked is a great track. Their seamless transitions from angst to ironic happy reminds me of the mood that REM was trying to go for when they wrote Shiny Happy People... but executed well. Drew Pine
