lyrics

We go where the chase may lead us
Keep hoping it's far away, somewhere, completely different.
Follow your nose some say, rush in head first, don't wait
Any mistake you make is part of your adventure

So Lose control, lose control, lose control of your bones to the sticks and stones
What doesn't break you makes you stronger!

Hold back those knee jerk reactions
Don't let it ruffle your feathers, girl
Keep that satisfaction, for yourself, yourself
Stranger than fiction, my addiction with life and the wonders it hides
Balance is all that is needed

So Lose control, lose control, lose control of your bones to the sticks and stones
What doesn't break you makes you stronger!

Way back when, we first learnt to pretend.
To Hide the truth out in the open
Happy not to take the blame simply to avoid the shame
Your White lies might, they fit fine, even justified, some of the time
But truth is the strength residing in your soul, your soul

So Lose control, lose control, lose control of your bones to the sticks and stones
What doesn't break you makes you stronger!
