Control Lyrics by Shawn McDonald

Closer

2011

My heart is losing control over You
My heart is losing control over You
Lost in everlasting
Love's amorous glow
Set aflame despite the rain
And seven seasons of snow
I got accustomed to white knuckles
From all the time I spent alone
When I gave away my heart
I was neglected and disowned
And then You came to me
And took the time to speak in poems
And whispered that You'd like for me
To make with You a home
And now from the ashes like a phoenix
This new love has flown
Despite the greatest hearts
I'm afraid to lose control
My heart is losing control over You
My heart is losing control over You
My heart is losing control over You
My heart is losing control over You
I sing selah, my love and hallelujah, let go
Of the plans and demands that will maintain control
Of Your heart and Your head and Your spirit and soul
I'm a lovesick man and my love makes me bold
And I'll crawl through the wire
Through the fire and the cold
And I'll whisper Your name
Down every desolate road
Until I find You again
And I make sure You know
That my love will never die
My heart is losing control over You
My heart is losing control over You
My heart is losing control over You
My heart is losing control over You
Every time You get close to me
I feel my heart skip a beat
Every time You get close to me
I feel my heart skip a beat
Every time I get close to You
I feel my heart skip a beat
Every time I get close to You
I feel my heart skip a beat
Every time, every time
Every time, every time
